The DS1672 low-voltage serial timekeeping chip
incorporates a 32-bit counter and powermonitoring functions. The 32-bit counter is
designed to count seconds and can be used to
derive time-of-day, week, month, month, and
year by using a software algorithm. A precision,
temperature-compensated reference and
comparator circuit monitors the status of VCC.
When an out-of-tolerance condition occurs, an
internal power-fail signal is generated that forces
the reset to the active state. When VCC returns to
an in-tolerance condition, the reset signal is kept
in the active state for 250ms to allow the power
supply and processor to stabilize.
Note: Some revisions of this device may incorporate deviations from published specifications known as errata. Multiple revisions of any device

OPERATION
The block diagram in Figure 4 shows the main elements of the DS1672. As shown, communications to
and from the DS1672 occur serially over a 2-wire, bidirectional bus. The DS1672 operates as a slave
device on the serial bus. Access is obtained by implementing a START condition and providing a device
identification code followed by a register address. Subsequent registers can be accessed sequentially until
a STOP condition is executed.

Clock Accuracy
The accuracy of the clock is dependent upon the accuracy of the crystal and the accuracy of the match
between the capacitive load of the oscillator circuit and the capacitive load for which the crystal was
trimmed. Additional error will be added by crystal frequency drift caused by temperature shifts. External
circuit noise coupled into the oscillator circuit may result in the clock running fast. Refer to ApplicationNote 5: “Crystal Considerations with Dallas Real-Time Clocks” for detailed information.
Address Map
The counter is accessed by reading or writing the first 4 bytes of the DS1672 (00h–03h). The control
register and trickle charger are accessed by reading or writing the appropriate register bytes as illustrated
in Table 1. If the master continues to send or request more data after the address pointer has reached 05h,
the address pointer will wrap around to location 00h.
The device is fully accessible and data can be written and ready only when VCC is greater than VPF.
However, when VCC falls below VPF, (point at which write protection occurs) the internal clock registers
are blocked from any access. If VPF is less than V

Oscillator Control
The EOSC bit (bit 7 of the control register) controls the oscillator when in back-up mode. 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
DS1672 is placed into a low-power standby mode (I

) when in back-up mode. When the DS1672 is
is incremented only when EOSC is a logic 0.
Microprocessor Monitor
A temperature-compensated comparator circuit monitors the level of VCC. When VCC falls to the powerfail trip point, the RST signal (open drain) is pulled active. When VCC returns to nominal levels, the RST
signal is kept in the active state for 250ms (typically) to allow the power supply and microprocessor to
stabilize. Note, however, that if the EOSC bit is set to a logic 1 (to disable the oscillator during write
protection), the reset signal will be kept in an active state for 250ms plus the startup time of the oscillator.
Trickle Charger
The trickle charger is controlled by the trickle charge register. The simplified schematic of Figure 5
shows the basic components of the trickle charger. The trickle charge select (TCS) bit (bits 4–7) controls
the selection of the trickle charger. In order to prevent accidental enabling, only a pattern on 1010 will
enable the trickle charger. All other patterns will disable the trickle charger. The DS1672 powers up with
the trickle charger disabled. The diode select (DS) bits (bits 2, 3) select whether or not a diode is
connected between VCC and V
BACKUP
The RS bits (bits 0, 1) select whether a resistor is connected between VCC and V
of the resistor is. The resistor selected by the resistor select (RS) bits and the diode selected by the diode

The DS1672 supports a bidirectional 2-wire bus and data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as a transmitter and a device receiving data as a receiver. The device that controls
the message is called a “master.” The devices that are controlled by the master are “slaves.” The bus must
be controlled by a master device that generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and
generates the START and STOP conditions. The DS1672 operates as a slave on the 2-wire bus.
Connections to the b us are made via the open-drain I/O lines SDA and SCL.
The following bus protocol has been defined (Figure 6):
§ Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
§ During data transfer, the data line must remain stable whenever the clock line is HIGH. Changes in
the data line while the clock line is high will be interpreted as control signals.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been defined:
Bus not busy: Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
Start data transfer: A change in the state of the data line from high to low, while the clock line is high,
defines a START condition.
Stop data transfer: A change in the state of the data line from low to high, while the clock line is high,
defines a STOP condition.
Data valid: The state of the data line represents valid data when, after a START condition, the data line
is stable for the duration of the high period of the clock signal. The data on the line must be changed
during the low period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition and terminated with a STOP condition. The
number of data bytes transferred between the START and the STOP conditions is not limited, and is
determined by the master device. The information is transferred byte-wise and each receiver
acknowledges with a ninth bit. Within the 2-wire bus specifications a standard mode (100kHz clock rate)
and a fast mode (400kHz clock rate) are defined.
Acknowledge: Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte. The master device must generate an extra clock pulse that is associated with this
acknowledge bit.
A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a
way that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of
course, setup and hold times must be taken into account. A master must signal an end of data to the slave
by not generating an acknowledge bit on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case,
the slave must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate the STOP condition.

DS1672
Figures 7 and 8 detail how data transfer is accomplished on the 2-wire bus. Depending upon the state of
the R/ W bit, two types of data transfer are possible:
1) Data transfer from a master transmitter to a slave receiver. The first byte transmitted by the
master is the slave address. Next follows a number of data bytes. The slave returns an acknowledge
bit after each received byte.
2) Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master receiver. The first byte (the slave address) is
transmitted by the master. The slave then returns an acknowledge bit. Next follows a number of data
bytes transmitted by the slave to the master. The master returns an acknowledge bit after all received
bytes other than the last byte. At the end of the last received byte, a “not acknowledge” is returned.
The master device generates all of the serial clock pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A
transfer is ended with a STOP condition or with a repeated START condition. Since a repeated START
condition is also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the bus will not be released.
The DS1672 can operate in the following two modes:
1) Slave receiver mode (DS1672 write mode): Serial data and clock are received through SDA and
SCL. After each byte is received, an acknowledge bit is transmitted. START and STOP conditions are
recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer. Address recognition is performed by
hardware after reception of the slave address and direction bit (Figure 7). The slave address byte is the
first byte received after the START condition is generated by the master. The slave address byte
contains the 7-bit DS1672 address, which is 1101000, followed by the direction bit (R/ W ), which for
a write is a 0. After receiving and decoding the slave address byte the DS1672 outputs an
acknowledge on the SDA line. After the DS1672 acknowledges the slave address + write bit, the
master transmits a word address to the DS1672. This will set the register pointer on the DS1672, with
the DS1672 acknowledging the transfer. The master may then transmit zero or more bytes of data,
with the DS1672 acknowledging each byte received. The register pointer will increment after each
byte is transferred. The master will generate a stop condition to terminate the data write.
2) Slave transmitter mode (DS1672 read mode): The first byte is received and handled as in the slave
receiver mode. However, in this mode, the direction bit will indicate that the transfer direction is
reversed. Serial data is transmitted on SDA by the DS1672 while the serial clock is input on SCL.
START and STOP conditions are recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer (Figure 8).
The slave address byte is the first byte received after the START condition is generated by the master.
The slave address byte contains the 7-bit DS1672 address, which is 1101000, followed by the
direction bit (R/
W ), which for a read is a 1. After receiving and decoding the slave address byte the
DS1672 outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. The DS1672 then begins to transmit data starting
with the register address pointed to by the register pointer. If the register pointer is not written to
before the initiation of a read mode the first address that is read is the last one stored in the register
pointer. The DS1672 must receive a “not acknowledge” to end a read.
