The DS1384 Watchdog Timekeeping Controller is a self-contained real time clock, alarm, watchdog
timer, and interval timer which provides control of up to 128k x 8 of external low power CMOS static
RAM in a 44-pin quad flat pack package. An external crystal and battery are the only components
required to maintain time of day and RAM memory contents in the absence of power. Access to all RTC
functions and the external RAM is the same as conventional bytewide SRAM. Data is maintained in the
Watchdog Timekeeper by intelligent control circuitry which detects the status of VCC and write protects
both memory and timekeeping functions when VCC is out of tolerance. Timekeeper information includes
hundredths of seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year. The date at the end of the
month is automatically adjusted for months with less than 31 days, including correction for leap year. The
timekeeper operates in either 12- or 24-hour format with an AM/PM indicator. The watchdog internal
timer provides watchdog alarm windows and interval timing between 0.01 seconds and 99.99 s econds.
The real time alarm provides for preset times of up to one week. All of the RTC functions and the
internal 50 bytes of RAM reside in the lower 64 bytes of the attached RAM memory map. The externally
attached static RAM is controlled by the DS1384 via the OER and CEO signals.
Automatic backup and write protection for an external SRAM is provided through the V
OER pins. The lithium energy source used to permanently power the real time clock is also used to retain
RAM data in the absence of VCC power through the V
pin. The chip enable output to RAM (CEO ) and
CCO
, CEO and

the output enable to RAM (OER ) are cont rolled during power transients to prevent data corruption. The
DS1384 is a complete one-chip solution in that an external crystal and battery ar e the only components
required to maintain time of day memory status in the absence of power.

to the device, data is passed to or from the on-chip 64 timekeeping/RAM registers via the data bus lines.
Data will be written on the rising edge of WE when CE is active. If CE is active without WE , data is
read from the device and driven onto the data bus pins when OE is low.

CEO - RAM chip enable (output; active low): When power is good the CE input will be passed through
to CEO . If VCC is below VPF, CEO will remain at an inactive high level.
OER - RAM output enable (output; active low): When power is good and the address value is not within
the range of 00000H and 0003FH, and CE is active, the OE input will be passed through to OER . If these
conditions are not met, OER will remain at an inactive high level.
CE - Chip enable (input; active low): The chip enable signal must be asserted low during a bus cycle to
access the on-chip timekeeping RAM registers, or to access the external RAM via CEO .
OE - Output enable (input; active low): The output enable signal identifies the time period when either
the RTC or the external SRAM drives the bus with read data, provided that CE is valid with WE
disabled. When one of the 64 on-chip registers is selected during a re ad cycle, the OE is the enable signal
for the DS1384 output buffers and the data bus will be driven with read data. W hen the ex ternal RAM is
selected during a read cycle, the OE signal will be passed through to the OER pin so that read data will be
driven by the external SRAM.
WE - Write enable (input; active low): The write enable signal identifies the time period during which
data is written to either the on-chip registers or to an external SRAM location. When one of the on-chip
64 registers is addressed, data will be written to the selected register on the rising edge of WE .
INTA - Interrupt Output A (output; active low): Interrupt output A can be programmed as a Time of Day
Alarm or as a Watchdog Alarm (Interrupt output B becomes the alternate function). In addition, INTA
can be programmed to output either a pulse or a level.
INTB - Interrupt Output B (output; active high or low): Interrupt output B outputs the alarm (Time of
Day or Watchdog) that is not selected for
INTA . Interrupt output B is programmable high or low.
Both INTA and INTB(INTB) are open drain outputs. The two interrupts and the internal clock continue to
run regardless of the level of VCC. However, it is important to insure that the pull-up resistors used with
the interrupt pins are never pulled up to a value which is greater than V
+ 0.3V. As VCC falls below
CC
approximately 3.0 volts, a power switching circuit turns the lithium energy source on the maintain the
clock, and timer data functionality. It is also required to insure that during this time (battery backup
mode), the voltage present at INTA and INTB (INTB) does never exceed V
. At all times the current on
BAT
each should not exceed +2.1 mA or -1.0 mA.
X1, X2 - Cr ystal inputs: Connections for a standard 32.768 kHz quartz crystal. When ordering, request a

ADDRESS DECODING
The DS1384 accommodates 17 address lines, which allows direct connection of up to 128k b ytes of static
RAM. The lower 14 bytes of RAM, regardless of the density used, will always contain the timekeeping,
alarm, and watchdog registers. The 14 clock registers reside in the lower 14 RAM locations without
conflict by inhibiting the OER (output enable RAM) signal during clock access. Since the watchdog
timekeeping chip actually contains 64 registers (14 RTC and 50 user RAM), the lower 64 bytes of any
attached memory resides within the DS1384. However, the RAM’s physical location is transparent to the
user and the memory map looks continuous from the first clock address to the upper most attached RAM
address.
OPERATION - READ CYCLE
The DS1384 executes a read cycle wh eneve r WE is inactive (high) and CE and OE are active (l ow). The
unique address specified by the address inputs (A0-A16) defines which of the on-chip 64 RTC/RAM or
external SRAM locations is to be accessed. When the address value pres ented to the DS1384 is in the
range of 00000H through 0003FH, one of the 64 on-chip registers will be selected and valid data will be
available to the eight data output drivers within t
providing that the CE and OE access times are also satisfied. If they are not, then data access must be
(access time) after the address input signal is stable,
ACC
measured from the latter occurri ng signal (CE or OE ) and the limiting parameter is either tCO for CE or
tOE for OE rather than the address access time. When one of the on-chip registers is selected for read, the
OER signal will remain inactive throughout the read cycle.
When the address value presented to the DS1384 is in the range of 00040H through 1FFFFH, an external
SRAM location will be selected. In this case the OE signal will be passed to the OER pin, with the
specified delay times of t
AOEL
or t
OERL
.
OPERATION - WRITE CYCLE
The DS1384 is in the write mode whenever the WE (Write Enable) and CE (Chip Enable) si gnals are in
the active (low) state after the address inputs are stable. The latter occurrin g falling edge of
will determine the start of the write cycle. The write cycle is terminated by the earlier rising edge of CE

When the address value presented to the DS1384 during the write is in the range of 00000H through

When the address value presented to the DS1384 during the write is in the range of 00040H through

DS1384 is capable of supporting two batteries which are used in a redundant fashion for applications
which require added reliability or increased battery capacity. When two batteries are used, the higher of
the two is selected for use. A selected battery will remain as backup supply until it is significantly below
the other. When the selected battery voltage falls below the alternate battery by about 0.6 volts, the
alternate battery is selected and then becomes the backup supply. This switching occurs transparently to
the user and continues until both batteries are exhausted. When only a single battery is required, both
battery inputs can be connected together. However, a more effective method of using a single battery
supply is to ground the unused battery input. When using a single battery, V
is the preferred input.

WATCHDOG TIMEKEEPER REGISTERS
The DS1384 Watchdog Timekeeper Controller has 14 internal registers, which are 8 bits wide and
contain all of the Timekeeping, Alarm, Watchdog, Control, and Data information. The Clock, Calendar,
Alarm and Watchdog Registers are memory locations, which contain external (user accessible) and
internal copies of the data. The ex ternal copies are independent of interna l functions except that they are
updated periodically by the simultaneous transfer of the incremented internal copy (see Figure 1). The
Command Register bits are affected by both internal and external functions. This register will be
discussed later. The 50 bytes of RAM registers are accessed from t he external address and data bus and
reside or overlay external static RAM. Registers 0, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 and A contain time of da y and date
information (see Figure 2). Time of day information is stored in BCD. Registers 3, 5, and 7 contain the
time of day alarm information. Time of day alarm information is stored in BCD. Register B is the
Command Register and information in this register is binary. Register C and D ar e the Watchdog Alarm
Registers and information, which is stored in these two registers, is in BCD. Registers 0000EH through
register 0003FH are on-chip user bytes and can be used to contain data at the user’s discretion.
