7. Functional description
The PCF8593 contains sixteen 8 bit registers with an 8 bit auto-incrementing address
register, an on-chip 32.768kHz oscillator circuit, a frequency divider and a serial two-line
bidirectional I
The first 8 registers (memory addresses 00h to 07h) are designed as addressable 8 bit
parallel registers. The first register (memory address 00h) is used as a control and status
register. The memory addresses 01h to 07h are used as counters for the clock function.
The memory addresses 08h to 0Fh may be programmed as alarm registers or used as
free RAM locations.
7.1 Counter function modes
When the control and status register is programmed, a 32.768 kHz clock mode, a 50 Hz
clock mode or an event-counter mode can be selected.
In the clock modes the hundredths of a second, seconds, minutes, hours, date, month
(four year calendar) and weekday are sto re d in a Bina ry Coded Decimal (BCD) format.
The timer register stores up to 99 days. The event counter mode is used to count pulses
applied to the oscillator input (OSCO left open-circuit). The event counter stores up to 6
digits of data.

C-bus interface.
PCF8593
Low power clock and calendar
When one of the counters is read (memory locations 01h to 07h), the contents of all
counters are strobed into capture latches at the beginning of a read cycle. Therefore,
faulty reading of the counter during a carry condition is prevented. When a counter is
written, other counters are not affected.
7.2 Alarm function modes
By setting the alarm enable bit of the control and status register the alarm control register
(address 08h) is activated.
By setting the alarm control register, a dated alarm, a daily alarm, a weekday alarm, or a
timer alarm may be programmed. In the clock modes, the timer register (address 07h)
may be programmed to count hundredths of a second, seconds, minutes, hours, or days.
Days are counted when an alarm is not programmed .
Whenever an alarm event occurs the alarm flag of the contro l and status register is set. A
timer alarm event will set the alarm flag and an overflow condition of the timer will set the
timer flag. The open-drain interrupt output is switched on ( active LOW) when the al arm o r
timer flag is set (enabled). The flags remain set until directly reset by a write operation.
When the alarm is disabled (bit 2 of control and status register set logic 0) the alarm
registers at addresses 08h to 0Fh may be used as free RAM.

7.6 Alarm registers
All alarm registers are allocated with a constant address offset of 08h to the
corresponding counter registers (see Figure 8
An alarm signal is generated when the contents of the alarm re gisters match bit-by-bit the
contents of the involved counter registers. The yea r and weekday bits are ignored in a
dated alarm. A daily alarm ignores the month and date bits. When a weekday alarm is
selected, the contents of the alarm weekday a nd month register selects the weekdays on
which an alarm is activated (see Figure 10
Remark: In the 12 hour mode, bits 6 and 7 of the alarm hours register must be the same
as the hours counter.

7.7 Timer
The timer (location 07h) is enabled by setting the control and status register to
XX0X X1XX. The timer counts up from 0 (or a programmed value) to 99. On overflow, the
timer resets to 0. The timer flag (LSB of control and status register) is set on overflow of
the timer. This flag must be reset by software. The inverted value of this flag can be
transferred to the external interrupt by setting bit 3 of the alarm control register.
Additionally, a timer alarm can be programmed by setting the timer alarm ena ble (bit 6 of
the alarm control register). When the value of the timer equals a pre-programmed value in
the alarm timer register (location 0Fh), the alarm flag is set (bit 1 of the control and status
register). The inverted value of the alarm flag can be transferred to the external interrupt
by enabling the alarm interrupt (bit 6 of the alarm control register).
Resolution of the timer is programmed via the 3 LSBs of the alarm control register (see

7.8 Event counter mode
Event counter mode is selected by bits 4 and 5 which are logic 10 in the control and st atus
register. The event counter mode is used to count pulses externally applied to the
oscillator input (OSCO left open-circuit).
The event counter stores up to 6 digits of data, which are stored as 6 hexadecimal valu es
located in the registers 1h, 2h, and 3h. Therefore, up to 1 million events may be recorded.
An event counter alarm occurs when the event counter registers match the value
programmed in the registers 9h, Ah, and Bh, and the event alar m is enabled ( bits 4 and 5
which are logic 01 in the alarm control register). In this event, the alarm flag (bit 1 of the
control and status register) is set. The inverted value of this flag can be transferred to the
interrupt pin (pin 7) by setting the alarm interrupt enable in the alarm control register. In

this mode, the timer (location 07h) increments once for every one, one hundred, ten
thousand, or 1 million events, depending on the value programmed in bits 0, 1 and 2 of
the alarm control register. In all other events, the timer functions are as in the clock mode.

7.9 Interrupt control
The conditions for activating the output INT (active LOW) are determined by appropriate
programming of the alarm control register. These conditions are clock alarm, timer alarm,
timer overflow, and event counter alarm. An interrupt occurs when the alarm flag or the
timer flag is set, and the corresponding interr up t is enabled. In all events, the interrupt is
cleared only by software resetting of the flag which initiated the interrupt.
In the clock mode, if the alarm enable is not activated (alarm enable bit of the control and
status register is logic 0), the interrupt output toggles at 1 Hz with a 50 % duty cycle (may
be used for calibration). The OFF voltage of the interrupt output may exceed the supply
voltage, up to a maximum of 6.0 V. A logic diagram of the interrupt output is shown in
Figure 11
.

In the 50 Hz clock mode or event-counter mode the oscillator is disabled and the oscillator
input is switched to a high-impedance state. This allows the user to feed the 50 Hz
reference frequency or an external hig h spe e d ev en t si gn al int o th e input OSCI.
7.10.1 Designing
When designing the printed-circuit board layout, keep the oscillator components as close
to the IC package as possible, and keep all other signal lines as far away as possible. In
applications involving tight packing of components, shielding of the oscillator may be
necessary. AC coupling of extraneous signals can introduce oscillator inaccuracy.

8. Characteristics of the I2C-bus
8.1 Characteristics
The I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules.
The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial Clock Line (SCL). Both lines must
be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor. Data transfer is initiated only when
the bus is not busy.
8.1.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse (see Figure 14). The data on the SDA
line must remain stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse as changes in the data
line at this time are interpreted as a control signal.

Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy.
A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START

8.1.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between th e START and STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of eight bits is followed by an acknowledge
cycle.
• A slave receiver, which is addressed, must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte.
• Also a master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter.
• The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be taken into
consideration).
• A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP
condition.

8.2 I2C-bus protocol
8.2.1 Addressing
Before any data is transmitted on the I2C-bus, the device which must respond is
addressed first. The addressing is always carried out with the first byte transmitted after
the start procedure.
The clock and calendar acts as a slave receiver or slave transmitter. The clock signal SCL
is only an input signal but the data signal SDA is a bidirectional line.

13. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow soldering description”.
13.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
13.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by so lder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
PCF8593
Low power clock and calendar
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
• Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
• Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
• The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
• Package placement
• Inspection and repair
• Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
13.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

13.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually lea ds to
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is

higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 26
reducing the process window
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joint s (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with

Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 26
