The M41T81S is a low-power serial real-time clock (RTC) with a built-in 32.768 kHz
oscillator (external crystal controlled). Eight bytes of the SRAM are used for the
clock/calendar function and are configured in binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. An
additional 12 bytes of SRAM provide status/control of alarm, watchdog and square wave
functions. Addresses and data are transferred serially via a two line, bidirectional I
interface. The built-in address register is incremented automatically after each WRITE or
READ data byte.
The M41T81S has a built-in power sense circuit which detects power failures and
automatically switches to the battery supply when a power failure occurs. The energy
needed to sustain the clock operations can be supplied by a small lithium button supply
when a power failure occurs. Functions available to the user include a non-volatile, time-ofday clock/calendar, alarm interrupts, watchdog timer and programmable square wave
output. The eight clock address locations contain the century, year, month, date, day, hour,
minute, second and tenths/hundredths of a second in 24-hour BCD format. Corrections for
28, 29 (leap year - valid until year 2100), 30 and 31 day months are made automatically.
The M41T81S is supplied in either an 8-pin SOIC or an 18-pin 300 mil SOIC package which
includes an embedded 32 KHz crystal.

The 18-pin, embedded crystal SOIC requires only a user-supplied battery to provide nonvolatile operation.

2 Operation
The M41T81S clock operates as a slave device on the serial bus. Access is obtained by
implementing a start condition followed by the correct slave address (D0h). The 20 bytes

OperationM41T81S
The following protocol has been defined:
●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 is high, defines the
START condition.
Stop data transfer
A change in the state of the data line, from low to high, while the clock is high, defines the
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 may 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 stop conditions is not limited.
The information is transmitted byte-wide and each receiver acknowledges with a ninth bit.
By definition a device that gives out a message is called “transmitter,” the receiving device
that gets the message is called “receiver.” The device that controls the message is called
“master.” The devices that are controlled by the master are called “slaves.”
Acknowledge
Each byte of eight bits is followed by one acknowledge bit. This acknowledge bit is a low
level put on the bus by the receiver whereas the master generates an extra acknowledge
related clock pulse. A slave receiver which is addressed is obliged to generate an
acknowledge after the reception of each byte that has been clocked out of the slave
transmitter.
The device that acknowledges has to pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock
pulse in such a way that the SDA line is a 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 receiver must signal an end of data to the slave transmitter by not
generating an acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this

READ mode
In this mode the master reads the M41T81S slave after setting the slave address (see
Figure 8 on page 12). Following the WRITE mode control bit (R/W

and slave address are repeated followed by the READ mode control bit (R/W
point the master transmitter becomes the master receiver. The data byte which was
addressed will be transmitted and the master receiver will send an acknowledge bit to the
slave transmitter. The address pointer is only incremented on reception of an acknowledge
clock. The M41T81S slave transmitter will now place the data byte at address An+1 on the
bus, the master receiver reads and acknowledges the new byte and the address pointer is
incremented to “An+2.”

The system-to-user transfer of clock data will be halted whenever the address being read is

An alternate READ mode may also be implemented whereby the master reads the

will follow and is to be written to the on-chip address pointer. The data word to be written to
the memory is strobed in next and the internal address pointer is incremented to the next
address location on the reception of an acknowledge clock. The M41T81S slave receiver

Clock operationM41T81S
3 Clock operation
The 20-byte register map (see Table 2: Clock register map on page 15) is used to both set
the clock and to read the date and time from the clock, in a binary coded decimal format.
Tenths/hundredths of seconds, seconds, minutes, and hours are contained within the first
four registers.
Note:Tenths/hundredths of seconds cannot be written to any value other than “00.”
Bits D6 and D7 of clock register 03h (century/hours register) contain the CENTURY
ENABLE bit (CEB) and the CENTURY bit (CB). Setting CEB to a '1' will cause CB to toggle,
either from '0' to '1' or from '1' to '0' at the turn of the century (depending upon its initial
state). If CEB is set to a '0,' CB will not toggle. Bits D0 through D2 of register 04h contain the
day (day of week). Registers 05h, 06h, and 07h contain the date (day of month), month and
years. The ninth clock register is the calibration register (this is described in the clock
calibration section). Bit D7 of register 01h contains the STOP bit (ST). Setting this bit to a '1'
will cause the oscillator to stop. If the device is expected to spend a significant amount of
time on the shelf, the oscillator may be stopped to reduce current drain. When reset to a '0'
the oscillator restarts within one second.
The eight clock registers may be read one byte at a time, or in a sequential block. Provision
has been made to assure that a clock update does not occur while any of the eight clock
addresses are being read. If a clock address is being read, an update of the clock registers
will be halted. This will prevent a transition of data during the READ.
Power-down time-stamp
When a power failure occurs, the HALT (HT) bit will automatically be set to a '1.' This will
prevent the clock from updating the registers, and will allow the user to read the exact time
of the power-down event. Resetting the HT bit to a '0' will allow the clock to update the
registers with the current time. For more information, please refer to AN1572, “Power-down
time-stamp function in serial real-time clocks (RTCs)”.
Clock registers
The M41T81S offers 20 internal registers which contain clock, alarm, watchdog, flags,
square wave and calibration data. These registers are memory locations which contain
external (user accessible) and internal copies of the data (usually referred to as BiPORT
cells). The external copies are independent of internal functions except that they are
updated periodically by the simultaneous transfer of the incremented internal copy. The
internal divider (or clock) chain will be reset upon the completion of a WRITE to any clock
address.
The system-to-user transfer of clock data will be halted whenever the address being read is
a clock address (00h to 07h). The update will resume either due to a stop condition or when
the pointer increments to any non-clock address (08h-13h).
Clock and alarm registers store data in BCD. Calibration, watchdog and square wave
registers store data in binary format.
The M41T81S is driven by a quartz controlled oscillator with a nominal frequency of
32,768 Hz. The devices are tested not exceed ±35 ppm (parts per million) oscillator
frequency error at 25
Figure 11 on page 17). When the calibration circuit is properly employed, accuracy improves
to better than ±2 ppm at 25°C.
The oscillation rate of crystals changes with temperature. The M41T81S design employs
periodic counter correction. The calibration circuit adds or subtracts counts from the
oscillator divider circuit at the divide by 256 stage, as shown in Figure 12 on page 17. The
number of times pulses which are blanked (subtracted, negative calibration) or split (added,
positive calibration) depends upon the value loaded into the five calibration bits found in the
calibration register. Adding counts speeds the clock up, subtracting counts slows the clock
down.
The calibration bits occupy the five lower order bits (D4-D0) in the calibration register 08h.
These bits can be set to represent any value between 0 and 31 in binary form. Bit D5 is a
sign bit; '1' indicates positive calibration, '0' indicates negative calibration. Calibration occurs
within a 64 minute cycle. The first 62 minutes in the cycle may, once per minute, have one
second either shortened by 128 or lengthened by 256 oscillator cycles. If a binary '1' is
loaded into the register, only the first 2 minutes in the 64 minute cycle will be modified; if a
binary 6 is loaded, the first 12 will be affected, and so on.
o
C, which equates to about +1.9 to –1.1 minutes per month (see
Therefore, each calibration step has the effect of adding 512 or subtracting 256 oscillator
cycles for every 125,829,120 actual oscillator cycles, that is +4.068 or –2.034 ppm of
adjustment per calibration step in the calibration register (see Figure 12 on page 17).
Assuming that the oscillator is running at exactly 32,768Hz, each of the 31 increments in the
Calibration byte would represent +10.7 or –5.35 seconds per month which corresponds to a
total range of +5.5 or –2.75 minutes per month.
Two methods are available for ascertaining how much calibration a given M41T81S may
require.
The first involves setting the clock, letting it run for a month and comparing it to a known
accurate reference and recording deviation over a fixed period of time. Calibration values,
including the number of seconds lost or gained in a given period, can be found in application
note AN934, “TIMEKEEPER
®
calibration.” This allows the designer to give the end user the
ability to calibrate the clock as the environment requires, even if the final product is
packaged in a non-user serviceable enclosure. The designer could provide a simple utility
that accesses the calibration byte.
The second approach is better suited to a manufacturing environment, and involves the use
of the IRQ
/FT/OUT/SQW pin. The pin will toggle at 512 Hz, when the stop bit (ST, D7 of
01h) is '0,' the frequency test bit (FT, D6 of 08h) is '1,' the alarm flag enable bit (AFE, D7 of
0Ah) is '0,' and the square wave enable bit (SQWE, D6 of 0Ah) is '0' and the watchdog
register (09h = 0) is reset.
Any deviation from 512 Hz indicates the degree and direction of oscillator frequency shift at
the test temperature. For example, a reading of 512.010124 Hz would indicate a +20 ppm
oscillator frequency error, requiring a –10 (XX001010) to be loaded into the calibration byte
for correction. Note that setting or changing the calibration byte does not affect the
frequency test output frequency.
16/32Doc ID 10773 Rev 7
M41T81SClock operation
The IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW pin is an open drain output which requires a pull-up resistor to VCC
for proper operation. A 500-10 k resistor is recommended in order to control the rise time.

Clock operationM41T81S
When the clock information matches the alarm clock settings based on the match criteria
defined by RPT5-RPT1, the AF (alarm flag) is set. If AFE (alarm flag enable) is also set (and
SQWE is '0.'), the alarm condition activates the IRQ
/FT/OUT/SQW pin.
Note:If the address pointer is allowed to increment to the flags register address, an alarm
condition will not cause the Interrupt/Flag to occur until the address pointer is moved to a
different address. It should also be noted that if the last address written is the “Alarm
Seconds,” the address pointer will increment to the flag address, causing this situation to
occur.
The IRQ
/FT/OUT/SQW output is cleared by a READ to the flags register as shown in
Figure 13. A subsequent READ of the flags register is necessary to see that the value of the
alarm flag has been reset to '0.'
The IRQ

Watchdog timer
The watchdog timer can be used to detect an out-of-control microprocessor. The user
programs the watchdog timer by setting the desired amount of time-out into the watchdog
register, address 09h. Bits BMB4-BMB0 store a binary multiplier and the two lower order bits
RB1-RB0 select the resolution, where 00 = 1/16 second, 01 = 1/4 second, 10 = 1 second,
and 11 = 4 seconds. The amount of time-out is then determined to be the multiplication of
the five-bit multiplier value with the resolution. (For example: writing 00001110 in the
watchdog register = 3*1, or 3 seconds). If the processor does not reset the timer within the
specified period, the M41T81S sets the WDF (watchdog flag) and generates a watchdog
interrupt.
The watchdog timer can be reset by having the microprocessor perform a WRITE of the
watchdog register. The time-out period then starts over.
Should the watchdog timer time-out, a value of 00h needs to be written to the watchdog
register in order to clear the IRQ
/FT/OUT/SQW pin. This will also disable the watchdog
function until it is again programmed correctly. A READ of the flags register will reset the
watchdog flag (bit D7; register 0Fh).
The watchdog function is automatically disabled upon power-up and the watchdog register
is cleared. If the watchdog function is set, the frequency test function is activated, and the
SQWE bit is '0,' the watchdog function prevails and the frequency test function is denied.

The M41T81S offers the user a programmable square wave function which is output on the

M41T81SClock operation
Battery low warning
The M41T81S automatically performs battery voltage monitoring upon power-up and at
factory-programmed time intervals of approximately 24 hours. The battery low (BL) bit, bit
D4 of flags register 0Fh, will be asserted if the battery voltage is found to be less than
approximately 2.5 V. The BL bit will remain asserted until completion of battery replacement
and subsequent battery low monitoring tests, either during the next power-up sequence or
the next scheduled 24-hour interval.
If a battery low is generated during a power-up sequence, this indicates that the battery is
below approximately 2.5 volts and may not be able to maintain data integrity. Clock data
should be considered suspect and verified as correct. A fresh battery should be installed.
If a battery low indication is generated during the 24-hour interval check, this indicates that
the battery is near end of life. However, data is not compromised due to the fact that a

The M41T81S only monitors the battery when a nominal V
applications which require extensive durations in the battery backup mode should be
powered-up periodically (at least once every few months) in order for this technique to be
beneficial. Additionally, if a battery low is indicated, data integrity should be verified upon
power-up via a checksum or other technique.
Oscillator fail detection
If the oscillator fail bit (OF) is internally set to '1,' this indicates that the oscillator has either
stopped, or was stopped for some period of time and can be used to judge the validity of the
clock and date data.
In the event the OF bit is found to be set to '1' at any time other than the initial power-up, the
STOP bit (ST) should be written to a '1,' then immediately reset to '0.' This will restart the
oscillator.
The following conditions can cause the OF bit to be set:
●The first time power is applied (defaults to a '1' on power-up).
●The voltage present on V
●The ST bit is set to '1.'
●External interference of the crystal.
The OF bit will remain set to '1' until written to logic '0.' The oscillator must start and have
run for at least 4 seconds before attempting to reset the OF bit to '0.'

calibration register. In other words, when D7 (OUT bit) and D6 (FT bit) of address location
08h are a '0,' then the IRQ
/FT/OUT/SQW pin will be driven low.
Note:The IRQ
/FT/OUT/SQW pin is an open drain which requires an external pull-up resistor.
Preferred initial power-on default
Upon initial application of power to the device, the following register bits are set to a '0' state:
watchdog register; AFE; ABE; SQWE; OFIE; and FT. The following bits are set to a '1' state:
ST; OUT; OF; and HT (see Ta bl e 5 ).
