General Description
The bq4830Y RTC Module is a nonvolatile 262,144-bit SRAM organized as 32,768 words by 8 bits with
an integral accessible real-time
clock.
The device combines an internal
lithium battery,quartz crystal, clock
and power-fail chip, and a full
CMOS SRAM in a plastic 28-pin
DIP module. The RTC Module directly replaces industry-standard
SRAMs and also fits into many
EPROM and EEPROM sockets
without any requirement for special
write timing or limitations on the
number of write cycles.
Registers for the real-time clock and
clock calibration are located in registers 7FF8h–7FFFh of the memory array.
Pin Names
The clock registers are dual-port
read/write SRAM locations that are
updated once per second by a clock
control circuit from the internal
clock counters. The dual-port registers allow clock updates to occur
without interrupting normal access
to the rest of the SRAM array.
The bq4830Y also contains a power
fail-detect circuit. The circuit deselects the device whenever V
CC
falls
below tolerance, providing a high degree of data security. The battery is
electrically isolated when shipped
from the factory to provide maximum battery capacity. The battery
remains disconnected until the first
application of VCC.

Memory Interface
Read Mode
The bq4830Y is in read mode whenever OE (output enable) is low and CE (chip enable) is low. The device architecture allows ripple-through access of data from
eight of 262,144 locations in the static storage array.
Thus, the unique address specified by the 15 address inputs defines which one of the 32,768 bytes of data is to
be accessed. Valid data is available at the data I/O pins
within tAA(address access time) after the last address
input signal is stable, providing that the CE and OE
(output enable) access times are also satisfied. If the CE
and OE access times are not met, valid data is available
after the latter of chip enable access time (t
put enable access time (tOE).
and OE control the state of the eight three-state
CE
data I/O signals. If the outputs are activated before tAA,
the data lines are driven to an indeterminate state until
tAA. If the address inputs are changed while CE and OE
remain low, output data remains valid for tOH(output
data hold time), but goes indeterminate until the next
address access.
Write Mode
The bq4830Y is in write mode whenever WE and CE are
active. The start of a write is referenced from the
latter-occurring falling edge of WE or CE. A write is terminated by the earlier rising edge of WE or CE. The addresses must be held valid throughout the cycle. CE or
WE must return high for a minimum of t

Data-Retention Mode
With valid VCCapplied, the bq4830Y operates as a
conventional static RAM. Should the supply voltage
decay, the RAM automatically power-fail deselects,
write-protecting itself t
All outputs become high impedance, and all inputs are
treated as “don't care.”
If power-fail detection occurs during a valid access, the
memory cycle continues to completion. If the memory
cycle fails to terminate within time t
protection takes place. When VCCdrops below VSO, the
control circuit switches power to the internal energy

Clock Interface
Reading the Clock
The interface to the clock and control registers of the
bq4830Y is the same as that for the general-purpose
storage memory. Once every second, the user-accessible
clock/calendar locations are updated simultaneously
from the internal real time counters. To prevent reading data in transition, updates to the bq4830Y clock registers should be halted. Updating is halted by setting
the read bit D6 of the control register to 1. As long as
the read bit is 1, updates to user-accessible clock locations are inhibited. Once the frozen clock information is
retrieved by reading the appropriate clock memory locations, the read bit should be reset to 0 in order to allow
updates to occur from the internal counters. Because the
internal counters are not halted by setting the read bit,
reading the clock locations has no effect on clock accuracy. Once the read bit is reset to 0, within one second
the internal registers update the user-accessible registers with the correct time. A halt command issued during a clock update allows the update to occur before
freezing the data.
Setting the Clock
Bit D7 of the control register is the write bit. Like the
read bit, the write bit when set to a 1 halts updates to
the clock/calendar memory locations. Once frozen, the
locations can be written with the desired information in
24-hour BCD format. Resetting the write bit to 0 causes
the written values to be transferred to the internal clock
counters and allows updates to the user-accessible registers to resume within one second. Use the write bit,D7,
only when updating the time registers (7FFF–7FF9).
Stopping and Starting the Clock Oscillator
.
The OSC bit in the seconds register turns the clock on or
off. If the bq4830Y is to spend a significant period of
time in storage, the clock oscillator can be turned off to
preserve battery capacity. OSC set to 1 stops the clock
oscillator. When OSC is reset to 0, the clock oscillator is
turned on and clock updates to user-accessible memory
locations occur within one second.
The OSC bit is set to 1 when shipped from the Benchmarq factory.

Calibrating the Clock
The bq4830Y real-time clock is driven by a quartz controlled oscillator with a nominal frequency of 32,768 Hz.
The quartz crystal is contained within the bq4830Y
package along with the battery. The clock accuracy of
the bq4830Y module is tested to be within 20ppm or
about 1 minute per month at 25°C. The oscillation rates
of crystals change with temperature as Figure 3 shows.
To compensate for the frequency shift, the bq4830Y offers onboard software clock calibration. The user can
adjust the calibration based on the typical operating
temperature of individual applications.
The software calibration bits are located in the control
register. Bits D0–D4 control the magnitude of correction, and bit D5 the direction (positive or negative) of
correction. Assuming that the oscillator is running at
exactly 32,786 Hz, each calibration step of D0–D4 adjusts the clock rate by +4.068 ppm (+10.7 seconds per
month) or -2.034 ppm (-5.35 seconds per month) depending on the value of the sign bit D5. When the sign bit is
1, positive adjustment occurs; a 0 activates negative adjustment. The total range of clock calibration is +5.5 or
-2.75 minutes per month.
Two methods can be used to ascertain how much cali-
bration a given bq4830Y may require in a system. The
first involves simply setting the clock,letting it run for a
month, and then comparing the time to an accurate
known reference like WWV radio broadcasts. Based on
the variation to the standard, the end user can adjust
the clock to match the system's environment even after
the product is packaged in a non-serviceable enclosure.
The only requirement is a utility that allows the end
user to access the calibration bits in the control register.

Figure 3. Frequency Error
The second approach uses a bq4830Y test mode. When
the frequency test mode enable bit FTE in the days register is set to a 1, and the oscillator is running at exactly
32,768 Hz, the LSB of the seconds register toggles at
512 Hz. Any deviation from 512 Hz indicates the degree
and direction of oscillator frequency shift at the test
temperature. For example, a reading of 512.01024 Hz
indicates a (1E6 ∗ 0.01024)/512 or +20 ppm oscillator
frequency error, requiring ten steps of negative calibration (10 ∗ -2.034 or -20.34) or 001010 to be loaded into
the calibration byte for correction. To read the test frequency, the bq4830Y must be selected and held in an extended read of the seconds register, location 7FF9, without having the read bit set. The frequency appears on
DQ0. The FTE bit must be set using the write bit control. The FTE bit must be reset to 0 for normal clock operation to resume.
