DESCRIPTION
The DS12C887 Real Time Clock plus RAM is designed as a direct upgrade replacement for the DS12887
in existing IBM compatible personal computers to add hardware year 2000 compliance. A century byte
was added to memory location 50, 32h, as called out by the PC AT specification. A lithium energy
source, quartz crystal, and write-protection circuitry are contained within a 24–pin dual in-line package.
As such, the DS12C887 is a complete subsystem replacing 16 components in a typical application. The
functions include a nonvolatile time-of-day clock, an alarm, a one-hundred-year calendar, programmable
interrupt, square wave generator, and 113 bytes of nonvolatile static RAM. The real time clock is
distinctive in that time-of-day and memory are maintained even in the absence of power.

OPERATION
The block diagram in Figure 1 shows the pin connections with the major internal functions of the
DS12C887. The following paragraphs describe the function of each pin.
SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
GND, V
applied within normal limits, the device is fully accessible and data can be written and read. When V
below 4.25 volts typical, reads and writes are inhibited. However, the timekeeping function continues
unaffected by the lower input voltage. As VCC falls below 3 volts typical, the RAM and timekeeper are
switched over to an internal lithium energy source. The timekeeping function maintains an accuracy of ±1
minute per month at 25°C regardless of the voltage input on the V
MOT (Mode Select) – The MOT pin offers the flexibility to choose between two bus types. When
connected to V
bus timing is selected. The pin has an internal pull-down resistance of approximately 20KΩ.
SQW (Square Wave Output) – The SQW pin can output a signal from one of 13 taps provided by the
15 internal divider stages of the Real Time Clock. The frequency of the SQW pin can be changed by
programming Register A as shown in Table 1. The SQW signal can be turned on and off using the SQWE
bit in Register B. The SQW signal is not available when V

AD0-AD7 (Multiplexed Bidirectional Address/Data Bus) – Multiplexed buses save pins because
address information and data information time share the same signal paths. The addresses are present
during the first portion of the bus cycle and the same pins and signal paths are used for data in the second
portion of the cycle. Address/data multiplexing does not slow the access time of the DS12C887 since the
bus change from address to data occurs during the internal RAM access time. Addresses must be valid
prior to the falling edge of AS/ALE, at which time the DS12C887 latches the address from AD0 to AD6.
Valid write data must be present and held stable during the latter portion of the DS or WR pulses. In a
read cycle the DS12C887 outputs 8 bits of data during the latter portion of the DS or RD pulses. The read
cycle is terminated and the bus returns to a high impedance state as DS transitions low in the case of
Motorola timing or as RD transitions high in the case of Intel timing.
AS (Address Strobe Input) – A positive going address strobe pulse serves to demultiplex the bus. The
falling edge of AS/ALE causes the address to be latched within the DS12C887. The next rising edge that
occurs on the AS bus will clear the address regardless of whether CS is asserted. Access commands
should be sent in pairs.
DS (Data Strobe or Read Input) – The DS/RD pin has two modes of operation depending on the level
of the MOT pin. When the MOT pin is connected to VCC, Motorola bus timing is selected. In this mode
DS is a positive pulse during the latter portion of the bus cycle and is called Data Strobe. During read
cycles, DS signifies the time that the DS12C887 is to drive the bidirectional bus. In write cycles the
trailing edge of DS causes the DS12C887 to latch the written data. When the MOT pin is connected to
GND, Intel bus timing is selected. In this mode the DS pin is called Read(RD). RD identifies the time
period when the DS12C887 drives the bus with read data. The RD signal is the same definition as the
Output Enable (OE) signal on a typical memory.

DS12C887
R/W (Read/Write Input) – The R/ W pin also has two modes of operation. When the MOT pin is
connected to V
for Motorola timing, R/W is at a level which indicates whether the current cycle is a
CC
read or write. A read cycle is indicated with a high level on R/W while DS is high. A write cycle is
indicated when R/
W signal is an active low signal called WR. In this mode the R/ W pin has the same meaning as the
R/
W is low during DS. When the MOT pin is connected to GND for Intel timing, the
Write Enable signal (WE) on generic RAMs.

CC
CS input. This action protects both the real time clock data and RAM data during
power outages.
IRQ (Interrupt Request Output) - The IRQ pin is an active low output of the DS12C887 that can be
used as an interrupt input to a processor. The
interrupt is present and the corresponding interrupt-enable bit is set. To clear the
IRQ output remains low as long as the status bit causing the

RESET is held low is dependent on the application. However, if RESET is used on power–up,
RESET is low should exceed 200 ms to make sure that the internal timer that controls the
RESET is low and VCC is above 4.25 volts, the following
occurs:
A. Periodic Interrupt Enable (PEI) bit is cleared to zero.
B. Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE) bit is cleared to zero.
C. Update Ended Interrupt Flag (UF) bit is cleared to zero.
D. Interrupt Request Status Flag (IRQF) bit is cleared to zero.
E. Periodic Interrupt Flag (PF) bit is cleared to zero.
F. The device is not accessible until

go in and out of power fail without affecting any of the control registers.

POWER-DOWN/POWER-UP CONSIDERATIONS
The Real Time Clock function will continue to operate and all of the RAM, time, calendar, and alarm
memory locations remain nonvolatile regardless of the level of the V
input. When VCC is applied to the
CC
DS12C887 and reaches a level of greater than 4.25 volts, the device becomes accessible after 200 ms,
provided that the oscillator is running and the oscillator countdown chain is not in reset (see Register A).
This time period allows the system to stabilize after power is applied. When V

The DS12C887 is, therefore, write-protected. When the DS12C887 is in a write-protected state, all inputs
are ignored and all outputs are in a high impedance state. When V

RTC ADDRESS MAP
The address map for the DS12C885 is shown in Figure 2. The address map consists of 113 bytes of user
RAM, 11 bytes of RAM that contain the RTC time, calendar, and alarm data, and 4 bytes which are used
for control and status. All 128 bytes can be directly written or read except for the following:
1.
Registers C and D are read-only.
2.
Bit-7 of Register A is read-only.
3.
The high order bit of the seconds byte is read-only.

The time and calendar information is obtained by reading the appropriate memory bytes. The time,
calendar, and alarm are set or initialized by writing the appropriate RAM bytes. The contents of the ten
time, calendar, and alarm bytes can be either Binary or Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) format. Before
writing the internal time, calendar, and alarm registers, the SET bit in Register B should be written to a
logic one to prevent updates from occurring while access is being attempted. In addition to writing the ten
time, calendar, and alarm registers in a selected format (binary or BCD), the data mode bit (DM) of
Register B must be set to the appropriate logic level. All ten time, calendar, and alarm bytes must use the
same data mode. The set bit in Register B should be cleared after the data mode bit has been written to
allow the real time clock to update the time and calendar bytes. Once initialized, the real time clock
makes all updates in the selected mode. The data mode cannot be changed without reinitializing the ten
data bytes. Table 2 shows the binary and BCD formats of the ten time, calendar, and alarm locations. The
24–12 bit cannot be changed without reinitializing the hour locations. When the 12–hour format is
selected, the high order bit of the hours byte represents PM when it is a logic one. The time, calendar,
and alarm bytes are always accessible because they are double buffered. Once per second the eleven bytes
are advanced by one second and checked for an alarm condition. If a read of the time and calendar data
occurs during an update, a problem exists where seconds, minutes, hours, etc. may not correlate. The
probability of reading incorrect time and calendar data is low. Several methods of avoiding any possible
incorrect time and calendar reads are covered later in this text. The three alarm bytes can be used in two
ways. First, when the alarm time is written in the appropriate hours, minutes, and seconds alarm
locations, the alarm interrupt is initiated at the specified time each day if the alarm enable bit is high . The
second use condition is to insert a “don’t care” state in one or more of the three alarm bytes. The “don’t
care” code is any hexadecimal value from C0 to FF. The two most significant bits of each byte set the
“don’t care” condition when at logic 1. An alarm will be generated each hour when the “don’t care” bits
are set in the hours byte. Similarly, an alarm is generated every minute with “don’t care” codes in the
hours and minute alarm bytes. The “don’t care” codes in all three alarm bytes create an interrupt every
second.

CONTROL REGISTERS
The DS12C887 has four control registers which are accessible at all times, even during the update cycle.

UIP DV2 DV1 DV0 RS3 RS2 RS1 RS0
UIP - The Update In Progress (UIP) bit is a status flag that can be monitored. When the UIP bit is a 1, the
update transfer will soon occur. When UIP is a 0, the update transfer will not occur for at least 244
The time, calendar, and alarm information in RAM is fully available for access when the UIP bit is 0. The

UIP bit is read-only and is not affected by
RESET . Writing the SET bit in Register B to a 1 inhibits any
update transfer and clears the UIP status bit.
DV2, DV1, DV0 - These three bits are used to turn the oscillator on or off and to reset the countdown
chain. A pattern of 010 is the only combination of bits that will turn the oscillator on and allow the RTC
to keep time. A pattern of 11X will enable the oscillator but holds the countdown chain in reset. The next
update will occur at 500 ms after a pattern of 010 is written to DV0, DV1, and DV2.
RS3, RS2, RS1, RS0 - These four rate-selection bits select one of the 13 taps on the 15-stage divider or
disable the divider output. The tap selected can be used to generate an output square wave (SQW pin)
and/or a periodic interrupt. The user can do one of the following:
1.
Enable the interrupt with the PIE bit;
2.
Enable the SQW output pin with the SQWE bit;
3.
Enable both at the same time and the same rate; or
4.
Enable neither

BIT 7 BIT 6 BIT 5 BIT 4 BIT 3 BIT 2 BIT 1 BIT 0
SET PIE AIE UIE SQWE DM 24/12 DSE
SET - When the SET bit is a 0, the update transfer functions normally by advancing the counts once per
second. When the SET bit is written to a 1, any update transfer is inhibited and the program can initialize
the time and calendar bytes without an update occurring in the midst of initializing. Read cycles can be
executed in a similar manner. SET is a read/write bit and is not affected by
of the DS12C887.
PIE - The Periodic Interrupt Enable bit is a read/write bit which allows the Periodic Interrupt Flag (PF)
bit in Register C to drive the
IRQ pin low. When the PIE bit is set to 1, periodic interrupts are generated
RESET or internal functions
by driving the
blocks the
IRQ pin low at a rate specified by the RS3-RS0 bits of Register A. A 0 in the PIE bit

at the periodic rate. PIE is not modified by any internal DS12C887 functions but is cleared to 0 on
RESET .
AIE - The Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE) bit is a read/write bit which, when set to a 1, permits the Alarm
Flag (AF) bit in register C to assert
IRQ . An alarm interrupt occurs for each second that the 3 time bytes
equal the 3 alarm bytes including a “don’t care” alarm code of binary 11XXXXXX. When the AIE bit is
set to 0, the AF bit does not initiate the
IRQ signal. The internal functions of the DS12C887 not affect
the AIE bit.
UIE - The Update Ended Interrupt Enable (UIE) bit is a read/write bit that enables the Update End Flag
(UF) bit in Register C to assert
IRQ . The RESET pin going low or the SET bit going high clears the
UIE bit.
SQWE - When the Square Wave Enable (SQWE) bit is set to a 1, a square wave signal at the frequency
set by the rate-selection bits RS3 through RS0 is driven out on the SQW pin. When the SQWE bit is set
to 0, the SQW pin is held low. SQWE is a read/write bit and is cleared by

DM - The Data Mode (DM) bit indicates whether time and calendar information is in binary or BCD
format. The DM bit is set by the program to the appropriate format and can be read as required. This bit
is not modified by internal functions or
RESET . A 1 in DM signifies binary data while a 0 in DM
specifies Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) data.
24/12 - The 24/12 control bit establishes the format of the hours byte. A 1 indicates the 24-hour mode and
a 0 indicates the 12-hour mode. This bit is read/write and is not affected by internal functions or
DSE -
The Daylight Savings Enable (DSE) bit is a read/write bit which enables two special updates when
RESET .
DSE is set to 1. On the first Sunday in April the time increments from 1:59:59 AM to 3:00:00 AM. On
the last Sunday in October when the time first reaches 1:59:59 AM it changes to 1:00:00 AM. These
special updates do not occur when the DSE bit is a zero. This bit is not affected by internal functions or
RESET .

IRQF - The Interrupt Request Flag (IRQF) bit is set to a 1 when one or more of the following are true:
PF = PIE = 1
AF = AIE = 1
UF = UIE = 1
i.e., IRQF = (PF ● PIE) + (AF ● AIE) + (UF ● UIE)
Any time the IRQF bit is a 1, the
Register C is read by the program or when the
IRQ pin is driven low. Flag bits PF, AF, and UF are cleared after
RESET pin is low.
PF - The Periodic Interrupt Flag (PF) is a read-only bit which is set to a 1 when an edge is detected on the
selected tap of the divider chain. The RS3 through RS0 bits establish the periodic rate. PF is set to a 1
independent of the state of the PIE bit. When both PF and PIE are 1’s, the
set the IRQF bit. The PF bit is cleared by a software read of Register C or a
IRQ signal is active and will

AF - A 1 in the Alarm Interrupt Flag (AF) bit indicates that the current time has matched the alarm time.
If the AIE bit is also a 1, the
IRQ pin will go low and a 1 will appear in the IRQF bit. A RESET or a read
of Register C will clear AF.
UF - The Update Ended Interrupt Flag (UF) bit is set after each update cycle. When the UIE bit is set to
1, the 1 in UF causes the IRQF bit to be a 1, which will assert the

pin. This bit is not writeable and should always be a 1 when read. If a 0 is ever present, an exhausted
internal lithium energy source is indicated and both the contents of the RTC data and RAM data are
questionable. This bit is unaffected by
RESET .
BIT 6 THROUGH BIT 0 - The remaining bits of Register D are not usable. They cannot be written and,
when read, they will always read 0.

DS12C887
CENTURY REGISTER
The century register at location 32h, is a BCD register designed to automatically load the BCD value 20
as the year register changes from 99 to 00. The MSB of this register will not be affected when the load of
20 occurs and will remain at the value written by the user.
NONVOLATILE RAM
The 113 general purpose nonvolatile RAM bytes are not dedicated to any special function within the
DS12C887. They can be used by the processor program as nonvolatile memory and are fully available
during the update cycle.
INTERRUPTS
The RTC plus RAM includes three separate, fully automatic sources of interrupt for a processor. The
alarm interrupt can be programmed to occur at rates from once per second to once per day. The periodic
interrupt can be selected for rates from 500ms to 122
indicate to the program that an update cycle is complete. Each of these independent interrupt conditions is
described in greater detail in other sections of this text.
The processor program can select which interrupts, if any, are going to be used. Three bits in Register B
enable the interrupts. Writing a logic 1 to an interrupt-enable bit permits that interrupt to be initiated
µs. The update-ended interrupt can be used to
when the event occurs. A zero in an interrupt-enable bit prohibits the
that interrupt condition. If an interrupt flag is already set when an interrupt is enabled,
IRQ pin from being asserted from
IRQ is
immediately set at an active level, although the interrupt initiating the event may have occurred much
earlier. As a result, there are cases where the program should clear such earlier initiated interrupts before
first enabling new interrupts.
When an interrupt event occurs, the relating flag bit is set to logic 1 in Register C. These flag bits are set
independent of the state of the corresponding enable bit in Register B. The flag bit can be used in a
polling mode without enabling the corresponding enable bits. The interrupt flag bit is a status bit which
software can interrogate as necessary. When a flag is set, an indication is given to software that an
interrupt event has occurred since the flag bit was last read; however, care should be taken when using the
flag bits as they are cleared each time Register C is read. Double latching is included with Register C so
that bits which are set remain stable throughout the read cycle. All bits which are set (high) are cleared
when read and new interrupts which are pending during the read cycle are held until after the cycle is
completed. One, two, or three bits can be set when reading Register C. Each utilized flag bit should be
examined when read to ensure that no interrupts are lost.
The second flag bit usage method is with fully enabled interrupts. When an interrupt flag bit is set and the
corresponding interrupt enable bit is also set, the
IRQ pin is asserted low. IRQ is asserted as long as at
least one of the three interrupt sources has its flag and enable bits both set. The IRQF bit in Register C is
a one whenever the IRQ pin is being driven low. Determination that the RTC initiated an interrupt is
accomplished by reading Register C. A logic one in bit 7 (IRQF bit) indicates that one or more interrupts
have been initiated by the DS12C887. The act of reading Register C clears all active flag bits and the
IRQF bit.

DS12C887
OSCILLATOR CONTROL BITS
When the DS12C887 is shipped from the factory, the internal oscillator is turned off. This feature
prevents the lithium energy cell from being used until it is installed in a system. A pattern of 010 in bits 4
through 6 of Register A will turn the oscillator on and enable the countdown chain. A pattern of 11X will
turn the oscillator on, but holds the countdown chain of the oscillator in reset. All other combinations of
bits 4 through 6 keep the oscillator off.
SQUARE WAVE OUTPUT SELECTION
Thirteen of the 15 divider taps are made available to a 1-of-15 selector, as shown in the block diagram of
Figure 1. The first purpose of selecting a divider tap is to generate a square wave output signal on the
SQW pin. The RS0–RS3 bits in Register A establish the square wave output frequency. These
frequencies are listed in Table 1. The SQW frequency selection shares its 1-of-15 selector with the
periodic interrupt generator. Once the frequency is selected, the output of the SQW pin can be turned on
and off under program control with the square wave enable bit (SQWE).
PERIODIC INTERRUPT SELECTION
The periodic interrupt will cause the IRQ pin to go to an active state from once every 500ms to once
every 122
to once per day. The periodic interrupt rate is selected using the same Register A bits which select the
square wave frequency (see Table 1). Changing the Register A bits affects both the square wave
frequency and the periodic interrupt output. However, each function has a separate enable bit in Register
B. The SQWE bit controls the square wave output. Similarly, the periodic interrupt is enabled by the PIE
bit in Register B. The periodic interrupt can be used with software counters to measure inputs, create
output intervals, or await the next needed software function.

DS12C887
UPDATE CYCLE
The DS12C887 executes an update cycle once per second regardless of the SET bit in Register B. When
the SET bit in Register B is set to one, the user copy of the double buffered time, calendar, and alarm
bytes is frozen and will not update as the time increments. However, the time countdown chain continues
to update the internal copy of the buffer. This feature allows time to maintain accuracy independent of
reading or writing the time, calendar, and alarm buffers and also guarantees that time and calendar
information is consistent. The update cycle also compares each alarm byte with the corresponding time
byte and issues an alarm if a match or if a “don’t care” code is present in all three positions.
There are three methods that can handle access of the real time clock that avoid any possibility of
accessing inconsistent time and calendar data. The first method uses the update-ended interrupt. If
enabled, an interrupt occurs after every up date cycle that indicates that over 999 ms are available to read
valid time and date information. If this interrupt is used, the IRQF bit in Register C should be cleared
before leaving the interrupt routine.
A second method uses the update-in-progress bit (UIP) in Register A to determine if the update cycle is in
progress. The UIP bit will pulse once per second. After the UIP bit goes high, the update transfer occurs
244
µs later. If a low is read on the UIP bit, the user has at least 244µs before the time/calendar data will
be changed. Therefore, the user should avoid interrupt service routines that would cause the time needed
to read valid time/calendar data to exceed 244
µs.
The third method uses a periodic interrupt to determine if an update cycle is in progress. The UIP bit in
Register A is set high between the setting of the PF bit in Register C (see Figure 3). Periodic interrupts
that occur at a rate of greater than t
occurrence of the periodic interrupt. The reads should be complete within 1 ( t
allow valid time and date information to be reached at each
BUC
PI/2
+ t
) to ensure that
BUC
data is not read during the update cycle.

Real-Time Clock Modules can be successfully processed through conventional wave-soldering
techniques as long as temperature exposure to the lithium energy source contained within does not
exceed +85°C. Post solder cleaning with water washing techniques is acceptable, provided that
ultrasonic vibration is not used. Such cleaning can damage the crystal.
