The DS1673 portable system controller is a circuit
that incorporates many of the functions necessary for
low-power portable products integrated into one chip.
The device provides a real-time clock (RTC), NV
RAM controller, microprocessor monitor, and a
3-channel, 8-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
Communication with the DS1673 is established
through a simple 3-wire interface.
The RTC provides seconds, minutes, hours, day,
date, month, and year information with leap year
compensation. The RTC also provides an alarm
interrupt. This interrupt works when the DS1673 is
powered by the system power supply or when in
battery-backup operation, so the alarm can be used to
wake up a system that is powered down.
Automatic backup and write protection of an external
SRAM is provided through the V
, CEOL, and
CCO
CEOH pins. The backup energy source used to power
the RTC is also used to retain RAM data in the
absence of V
through the V
CC
pin. The chip-
CCO
enable outputs to RAM (CEOL and CEOH) are
controlled during power transients to prevent data
corruption.

DS1673
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The microprocessor monitor circuitry of the DS1673 provides three basic functions. First, a precision
temperature-compensated reference and comparator circuit monitors the status of VCC. When an out-oftolerance condition occurs, an internal power-fail signal is generated which forces the reset to the active
state. When VCC returns to an in-tolerance condition, the reset signals are kept in the active state for
250 ms to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize. The second microprocessor monitor function
is pushbutton reset control. The DS1673 debounces a pushbutton input and guarantees an active reset
pulse width of 250 ms. The third function is a watchdog timer. The DS1673 has an internal timer that
forces the reset signals to the active state if the strobe input is not driven low prior to watchdog timeout.
The DS1673 also provides a 3-channel, 8-bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter. The
converter has an internal 2.55V (typical) reference voltage generated by an on-board band-gap circuit.
The ADC is monotonic (no missing codes) and has an internal analog filter to reduce high frequency
noise.

Active-Low Reset. The RST pin functions as a microprocessor reset signal. This pin is
driven low 1) when VCC is outside of nominal limits; 2) when the watchdog timer has

reset. The RST pin also functions as a pushbutton reset input. When the RST pin is
driven low, the signal is debounced and timed such that a RST signal of at least 250ms
is generated. This pin has an open-drain output with an internal 47kW pullup resistor.

Connections for Standard 32.768kHz Quartz Crystal. For greatest accuracy, the
DS1673 must be used with a crystal that has a specified load capacitance of 6pF. There
is no need for external capacitors or resistors. Note: X1 and X2 are very highimpedance nodes. It is recommended that they and the crystal be guard-ringed with
ground and that high frequency signals be kept away from the crystal area. For more
information on crystal selection and crystal layout considerations, refer to Application Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Dallas Real Time Clocks. The DS1673 does not
function without a crystal.

ADDRESS/COMMAND BYTE
The command byte for the DS1673 is shown in Figure 2. Each data transfer is initiated by a command
byte. Bits 0 through 6 specify the address of the registers to be accessed. The MSB (bit 7) is the
Read/Write bit. This bit specifies whether the accessed byte will be read or written. A read operation is
selected if bit 7 is a 0 and a write operation is selected if bit 7 is a one. The address map for the DS1673 is
shown in Figure 3.

CLOCK, CALENDAR, AND ALARM
The time and calendar information is accessed by reading/writing the appropriate register bytes. Note that
some bits are set to 0. These bits will always read 0 regardless of how they are written. Also note that
registers 0Fh to 7Fh are reserved. These registers will always read 0 regardless of how they are written.
The contents of the time, calendar, and alarm registers are in the Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) format.
The DS1673 can run in either 12-hour or 24-hour mode. Bit 6 of the hours register is defined as the 12- or
24-hour mode select bit. When high, the 12-hour mode is selected. In the 12-hour mode, bit 5 is the
AM/PM bit with logic 1 being PM. In the 24-hour mode, bit 5 is the second 10-hour bit (20-23 hours).
The DS1673 also contains a time of day alarm. The alarm registers are located in registers 07h to 0Ah.
Bit 7 of each of the alarm registers are mask bits (see Table 1). When all of the mask bits are logic 0, an
alarm will occur once per week when the values stored in timekeeping registers 00h to 03h match the
values stored in the time of day alarm registers. An alarm will be generated every day when mask bit of
the day alarm register is set to 1. An alarm will be generated every hour when the day and hour alarm
mask bits are set to 1. Similarly, an alarm will be generated every minute when the day, hour, and minute
alarm mask bits are set to 1. When day, hour, minute, and seconds alarm mask bits are set to 1, an alarm
will occur every second.

DESCRIPTION
SPECIAL PURPOSE REGISTERS
The DS1673 has two additional registers (control register and status register) that control the RTC and
interrupts.
CONTROL REGISTER
BIT 7 BIT 6 BIT 5 BIT 4 BIT 3 BIT 2 BIT 1 BIT 0
EOSC
WP AIS1 AIS0 0 0 0 AIE
EOSC (Enable Oscillator). This bit, when set to logic 0 will start the oscillator. When this bit is set to a
logic 1, the oscillator is stopped and the DS1673 is placed into a low-power standby mode with a current
drain of less than 200nA when in battery-backup mode. When the DS1673 is powered by VCC, the
oscillator is always on regardless of the status of the EOSC bit; however, the RTC is incremented only
when EOSC is a logic 0.
WP (Write Protect). Before any write operation to the RTC or any other registers, this bit must be logic
0. When high, the write protect bit prevents a write operation to any register.
AIS0-AIS1 (Analog Input Select). These 2 bits are used to determine the analog input for the analog-todigital conversion. Table 2 lists the specific analog input that is selected by these 2 bits.
AIE (Alarm Interrupt Enable). When set to a logic 1, this bit permits the Interrupt Request Flag (IRQF)
bit in the status register to assert INT. When the AIE bit is set to logic 0, the IRQF bit does not initiate the
INT signal.
