DS1500 Y2KC Watchdog RTC with Nonvolatile Control
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The RTC registers are double buffered into an internal and external set. The user has direct access to the external
set. Clock/calendar updates to the external set of registers can be disabled and enabled to allow the user to access
static data. When the crystal oscillator is turned on, the internal set of registers are continuously updated; this
occurs regardless of external register settings to guarantee that accurate RTC information is always maintained.
The DS1500 contains its own power-fail circuitry that automatically deselects the device when the V
supply falls
CCI
below a power-fail trip point. This feature provides a high degree of data security during unpredictable system
operation caused by low V
Nonvolatile control of the external SRAM is analogous to that of the RTC registers. When V
power fail,
CEO is driven to an inactive level regardless of CEI. This write protection occurs when V
levels. An external SRAM can be made nonvolatile by using the V

and CEO pins.

The DS1500 has interrupt (
activity. The
IRQ interrupt or RST outputs can be invoked as the result of a time-of-day alarm, CPU watchdog
IRQ), power control (PWR), and reset (RST) outputs that can be used to control CPU
alarm, or a kickstart signal. The DS1500 power-control circuitry allows the system to be powered on by an external
stimulus, such as a keyboard or by a time and date (wakeup) alarm. The
or either of these events, and can be used to turn on an external power supply. The
PWR output pin can be triggered by one
PWR pin is under software
control, so that when a task is complete, the system power can then be shut down. The DS1500 power-on reset
can be used to detect a system power-down or failure and hold the CPU in a safe reset state until normal power
returns and stabilizes; the
RST output is used for this function.
The DS1500 is a clock/calendar chip with the features described above. An external crystal and battery are the
only components required to maintain time-of-day and memory status in the absence of power..

TIME AND DATE OPERATION
The time and date information is obtained by reading the appropriate register bytes. Table 2 shows the RTC
registers. The time and date are set or initialized by writing the appropriate register bytes. The contents of the time
and date registers are in the binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. Hours are in 24-hour mode. The day-of-week
register increments at midnight. Values that correspond to the day of week are user-defined, but must be
sequential (i.e., if 1 equals Sunday, then 2 equals Monday, and so on). Illogical time and date entries result in
undefined operation.
READING THE CLOCK
When reading the clock and calendar data, it is possible to access the registers while an update (once per second)
occurs. There are three ways to avoid using invalid time and date data.
The first method uses the transfer enable (TE) bit in the control B register. Transfers are halted when a 0 is written
to the TE bit. Setting TE to 0 halts updates to the user-accessible registers, while allowing the internal registers to
advance. After the registers are read, the TE bit should be written to 1. TE must be kept at 1 for at least 366µs to
ensure a user register update.
The time and date registers can be read and stored in temporary variables. The time and date registers are then
read again, and compared to the first values. If the values do not match, the time and date registers should be read
a third time and compared to the previous values. This should be done until two consecutive reads of the time and
date registers match. The TE bit should always be enabled when using this method for reading the time and date,.
The third method of reading the time and date uses the alarm function. The alarm can be configured to activate
once per second, and the time-of-day alarm-interrupt enable bit (TIE) is enabled. The TE bit should always be
enabled. When the
IRQ pin goes active, the time and date information does not change until the next update.

Page 13
DS1500 Y2KC Watchdog RTC with Nonvolatile Control
SETTING THE CLOCK
It is recommended to halt updates to the external set of double buffered RTC registers when writing to the clock.
The (TE) bit should be used as described above before loading the RTC registers with the desired RTC count (day,
date, and time) in 24-hour BCD format. Setting the (TE) bit to 1 transfers the new values written to the internal RTC
registers and allows normal operation to resume.
CLOCK ACCURACY
A standard 32.768kHz quartz crystal should be directly connected to the DS1500 X1 and X2 oscillator pins. The
crystal selected for use should have a specified load capacitance (C
) of either 6pF or 12.5pF, and the crystal
L
select (CS) bit set accordingly. For more information about crystal selection and crystal layout considerations, refer
to Application Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Dallas Real-Time Clocks. An external 32.768kHz oscillator can
also drive the DS1500. To achieve low-power operation when using an external oscillator, it may be necessary to
connect the X1 pin to the external oscillator signal through a series connection consisting of a resistor and a
capacitor. A typical configuration consists of a 1.0M resistor in series with a 100pF ceramic capacitor. When using
an external oscillator the X2 pin must be left open. Accuracy of DS1510 is better than ±1min/month at +25°C.

The alarm can be programmed to activate on a specific day of the month, day of the week, or repeat every day,
hour, minute, or second. It can also be programmed to go off while the DS1500 is in the battery-backed state of
operation to serve as a system wakeup. Alarm mask bits AM1 to AM4 control the alarm mode. Table 3 shows the
possible settings. Configurations not listed in the table default to the once-per-second mode to notify the user of an
incorrect alarm setting. When the RTC register values match alarm register settings, the time-of-day/date alarm

This bit, when written to 0, enables the 32.768 kHz oscillator frequency to be output on the SQW pin if the oscillator
is running. This bit is automatically set to logic 0 by the internal power-on reset when power is applied and V
rises above the power-fail voltage.
BB32, Battery Backup 32kHz Enable Bit (05h Bit 5)
When the BB32 bit is written to 1, it enables a 32kHz signal to be output on the SQW pin while the part is in
battery-backup mode, if voltage is applied to V
AM1 to AM4, Alarm Mask Bits (08H Bit 7; 09H Bit 7; 0AH Bit 7; 0BH Bit 7)
Bit 7 of registers 08h to 0Bh contains an alarm mask bit, AM1 to AM4. These bits, in conjunction with the TIE
described later, allow the
IRQ output to be activated for a matched-alarm condition. The alarm can be programmed
to activate on a specific day of the month, day of the week, or repeat every day, hour, minute, or second. Table 3
shows the possible settings for AM1 to AM4 and the resulting alarm rates. Configurations not listed in the table
default to the once-per-second mode to notify the user of an incorrect alarm setting.
DY/DT, Day/Date Bit (0BH Bit 6)
The DY/DT bit controls whether the alarm value stored in bits 0 to 5 of 0BH reflects the day of the week or the date
of the month. If DY/DT is written to a 0, the alarm is the result of a match with the date of the month. If DY/DT is
written to a 1, the alarm is the result of a match with the day of the week.

PRS, Reset Select Bit (0Eh Bit 5)
When set to 0, the
PWR pin is set high-Z when the DS1500 goes into power-fail. When set to 1, the PWR pin
remains active upon entering power-fail.
PAB, Power Active-Bar Control Bit (0Eh Bit 4)
When this bit is 0, the
PWR pin is in the active-low state. When this bit is 1, the PWR pin is in the high-impedance
state. The user can write this bit to 1 or 0. If either TDF AND TPE = 1 or KSF = 1, the PAB bit is cleared to 0. This
bit can be read or written.
TDF, Time-of-Day/Date Alarm Flag (0Eh Bit 3)
A 1 in the TDF bit indicates that the current time has matched the alarm time. If the TIE bit is also 1, the
IRQ pin
goes low and a 1 appears in the IRQF bit. This bit is cleared by reading the register or writing it to 0.
KSF, Kickstart Flag (0Eh Bit 2)
This bit is set to 1 when a kickstart condition occurs or when the user writes it to 1. If the KIE bit is also 1, the
IRQ
pin goes low and a 1 appears in the IRQF bit. This bit is cleared by reading the register or writing it to 0.
WDF, Watchdog Flag (0Eh Bit 1)
If the processor does not access the DS1500 with a write within the period specified in addresses 0CH and 0DH,
the WDF bit is set to 1. WDF is cleared by writing it to 0.
IRQF, Interrupt Request Flag (0Eh Bit 0)
The interrupt request flag (IRQF) bit is set to 1 when one or more of the following are true:
TDF = TIE = 1
KSF = KIE = 1
WDF = WDE = 1
i.e., IRQF = (TDF x TIE) + (KSF x KIE) + (WDF x WDE)
Any time the IRQF bit is 1, the
IRQ pin is driven low.
Clearing IRQ and Flags
The time-of-day/date alarm flag (TDF), watchdog flag (WDF), kickstart flag (KSF) and interrupt request flag (IRQF)
are cleared by reading the flag register (0EH). The address must be stable for a minimum of 15ns while
are active. After the address stable requirement has been met, either a change in address, a rising edge of
a rising edge of
CS causes the flags to be cleared. The IRQ pin goes inactive after the IRQF flag is cleared. TDF
and WDF can also be cleared by writing to 0.

TE, Transfer Enable Bit (0Fh Bit 7)
When the TE bit is 1, the update transfer functions normally by advancing the counts once per second. When the
TE bit is written to 0, 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. TE is a
read/write bit that is not modified by internal functions of the DS1500.
CS, Crystal Select Bit (0Fh Bit 6)
When CS is set to 0, the oscillator is configured for operation with a crystal that has a 6pF specified load
capacitance. When CS = 1, the oscillator is configured for a 12.5pF crystal. CS is disabled in the DS1510 module
and should be set to CS = 0.
BME, Burst-Mode Enable Bit (0Fh Bit 5)
The burst-mode enable bit allows the extended user RAM address registers to automatically increment for
consecutive reads and writes. When BME is set to 1, the automatic incrementing is enabled; when BME is set to 0,
the automatic incrementing is disabled.
TPE, Time-of-Day/Date Alarm Power-Enable Bit (0Fh Bit 4)
The wakeup feature is controlled through the TPE bit. When the TDF flag bit is set to 1, if TPE is 1, the
PWR pin is
driven active. Therefore, setting TPE to 1 enables the wakeup feature. Writing a 0 to TPE disables the wakeup
feature.
TIE, Time-of-Day/Date Alarm Interrupt-Enable Bit (0Fh Bit 3)
The TIE bit allows the TDF flag to assert an interrupt. When the TDF flag bit is set to 1, if TIE is 1, the IRQF flag bit
is set to 1. Writing a 0 to the TIE bit prevents the TDF flag from setting the IRQF flag.

CLOCK OSCILLATOR CONTROL
The clock oscillator can be stopped at any time. To increase the shelf life of a backup lithium-battery source, the
oscillator can be turned off to minimize current drain from the battery. The
EOSC bit is used to control the state of
the oscillator, and must be set to 0 for the oscillator to function.
USING THE WATCHDOG TIMER
The watchdog timer can be used to restart an out-of-control processor. The watchdog timer is user programmable
in 10ms intervals ranging from 0.01 seconds to 99.99 seconds. The user programs the watchdog timer by writing
the timeout value into the two BCD watchdog registers (address 0Ch and 0Dh). The watchdog reloads and restarts
whenever the watchdog times out. If either watchdog register is nonzero, a timeout sets the WDF bit to 1,

regardless of the state of the watchdog enable (WDE) bit, to serve as an indication to the processor that a
watchdog timeout has occurred. The watchdog timer operates in two modes, repetitive and single-shot.
If WDE is 1 and the watchdog steering bit (WDS) is 0, the watchdog is in repetitive mode. When the watchdog

disables the watchdog timer. The watchdog function is automatically disabled upon power-up by the power-on
reset setting WDE = 0 and WDS = 0. The watchdog registers are not initialized at power-up and should be

Note: The TE bit must be used to disable transfers when writing to the watchdog registers.
The following summarizes the configurations in which the watchdog can be used:

WAKEUP/KICKSTART
The DS1500 incorporates a wakeup feature, which powers on at a predetermined date by activating the PWR
output pin. In addition, the kickstart feature allows the system to be powered up in response to a low-going
transition on the
upon such events as key closure, or a modem-ring-detects signal. To use either the wakeup or the kickstart
features, the DS1500 must have an auxiliary battery connected to the V
The wakeup feature is controlled through the time-of-day/date power-enable bit (TPE). Setting TPE to 1 enables
the wakeup feature. Transfers (TE) must be enabled for a wake up event to occur. Writing TPE to 0 disables the
wakeup feature. Similarly, the kickstart feature is controlled through the kickstart interrupt-enable bit (KIE).
If the wakeup feature is enabled, while the system is powered down (no V

the hours, minutes, and seconds alarm bytes in the clock/calendar register map (02h, 01h, and 00h) are also
monitored. As a result, a wakeup occurs at the day or date and time specified by the day/date, hours, minutes, and
seconds alarm register values. This additional alarm occurs regardless of the programming of the TIE bit. When the

256 x 8 EXTENDED RAM
The DS1500 provides 256 x 8 of on-chip SRAM, which is controlled as nonvolatile storage sustained from a lithium
battery. On power-up, the RAM is taken out of write-protect status by an internal signal.
Two on-chip latch registers control access to the SRAM. One register is used to hold the SRAM address; the other
is used to hold read/write data. The SRAM address space is from 00h to FFh. The 8-bit address of the RAM
location to be accessed must be loaded into the extended RAM address register located at 10h. Data in the
addressed location can be read by performing a read operation from location 13h, or written to by performing a
write operation to location 13h. Data in any addressed location can be read or written repeatedly with changing the
address in location 10h.
To read or write consecutive extended RAM locations, a burst mode feature can be enabled to increment the
extended RAM address. To enable the burst mode feature, set the BME bit to 1. With burst mode enabled, write
the extended RAM starting address location to register 10h. Then read or write the extended RAM data from/to
register 13h. The extended RAM address locations are automatically incremented on the rising edge of
WE only when register 13h is being accessed (Figure 4). The address pointer wraps around after the last address
is accessed.
