General Description
The bq4847 Real-Time Clock Module is a low-power microprocessor
peripheral that integrates a timeof-day clock, a 100-year calendar, a
CPU supervisor, a battery,and a crystal in a 28-pin DIP module. The part
is ideal for fax machines, copiers, industrial control systems, point-of-sale
terminals, data loggers, and computers.
The bq4847 contains an internal
battery and crystal. Through the use
of the conditional chip enable output
) and battery voltage output
(CE
OUT
(V
) pins, the bq4847 can write-
OUT
protect and make nonvolatile an
external SRAM. The backup cell
powers the real-time clock and
maintains SRAM information in
the absence of system voltage.
The bq4847 contains a
temperature-compensated reference and comparator circuit that
monitors the status of its voltage
supply. When an out-of-tolerance
condition is detected, the bq4847
generates an interrupt warning
and subsequently a microprocessor reset. The reset stays active
for 200ms after V
rises within
CC
tolerance to allow for power supply
and processor stabilization.
The bq4847 also has a built-in
watchdog timer to monitor processor
operation. If the microprocessor does
not toggle the watchdog input (WDI)
within the programmed time-out,
the bq4847 asserts WDO
and RST.
WDI unconnected disables the
watchdogtimer.
The bq4847 can generate other interrupts based on a clock alarm condition or a periodic setting. The
alarm interrupt can be set to occur
from once per second to once per
month. The alarm can be made active in the battery-backup mode to
serve as a system wake-up call. For
interrupts at a rate beyond once per
second, the periodic interrupt can be
programmed with periods of 30.5µs
to 500ms.
Caution:
Take care to avoid inadvertent dis-
charge through V
after battery isolation has been
OUT
and CE
OUT
broken.

bq4847/bq4847Y
Functional Description
Figure 1 is a block diagram of the bq4847. The bq4847 is
functionally equivalent to the bq4845 except that the battery (20, 24) and crystal (2, 3) pins are not accessible. The
pins are connected internally to a coin cell and quartz
crystal. The coin cell provides 130mAh of capacity. It is internally isolated from V
application of VCC. Once VCCrises above V
tion is broken, and the backup cell provides power to
V
OUT
and CE
for the external SRAM. The real-time
OUT
clock keeps time to within one minute per month at
OUT
and CE
until the initial

room temperature. For a complete description of features, operating conditions, electrical characteristics,
bus timing, and pin descriptions, see the bq4845 data
sheet. V alid part types for ordering are bq4847MT (5%)
and bq4847YMT (10%).
