GENERAL DESCRIPTION
BENEFITS AND FEATURES
The DS1338 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a lowpower, full binary-coded decimal (BCD)
clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address
and data are transferred serially through an I2C
interface. The clock/calendar provides seconds,
minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year
information. The end of the month date is
automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31
days, including corrections for leap year. The clock
operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with
AM/PM indicator. The DS1338 has a built-in powersense circuit that detects power failures and
automatically switches to the backup supply,
maintaining time and date operation

ICCA—SCL clocking at max frequency = 400kHz.
Specified with the I2C bus inactive.
Measured with a 32.768kHz crystal attached to X1 and X2.
After this period, the first clock pulse is generated.
A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (referred to the VIH(MIN) of the SCL signal) to
bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
The maximum tHD:DAT need only be met if the device does not stretch the LOW period (tLOW) of the SCL signal.
A fast-mode device can be used in a standard-mode system, but the requirement tSU:DAT ≥ to 250ns must then be met. This is
automatically the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW
period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line tR(MAX) + tSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250ns before the SCL line
is released.
CB—total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
Guaranteed by design. Not production tested.
The parameter tOSF is the time period the oscillator must be stopped for the OSF flag to be set over the voltage range of
0.0V ≤ VCC ≤ VCC(MAX) and 1.3V ≤ VBAT ≤ 3.7V.
This delay applies only if the oscillator is enabled and running. If the oscillator is disabled or stopped, no power-up delay occurs.

FUNCTION
32.768kHz Crystal Connections. The internal oscillator circuitry is designed for
operation with a crystal having a specified load capacitance (CL) of 12.5pF. An
external 32.768kHz oscillator can also drive the DS1338. In this configuration,
the X1 pin is connected to the external oscillator signal and the X2 pin is left
unconnected.
Note: For more information about crystal selection and crystal layout considerations,
refer to Application Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Dallas Real-Time Clocks.
Backup Supply Input for Lithium Cell or Other Energy Source. Battery voltage
must be held between the minimum and maximum limits for proper operation.
Diodes placed in series between the backup source and the VBAT pin may
prevent proper operation. If a backup supply is not required, VBAT must be
grounded. UL recognized to ensure against reverse charging when used with a
lithium cell. For more information, visit www.maxim-ic.com/qa/info/ul.
Ground. DC power is provided to the device on these pins. VCC is the primary
power input. When voltage is applied within normal limits, the device is fully
accessible and data can be written and read. When a backup supply is
connected to the device and VCC is below VPF, reads and writes are inhibited.
However, the timekeeping function continues unaffected by the lower input
voltage.
Serial Data. Input/output pin for the I2C serial interface. It is an open drain
output and requires an external pullup resistor. The pull up voltage may be up
to 5.5V regardless of the voltage on VCC.
Serial Clock. Input pin for the I2C serial interface. Used to synchronize data
movement on the serial interface. The pull up voltage may be up to 5.5V
regardless of the voltage on VCC.
Square-Wave/Output Driver. When enabled and the SQWE bit set to 1, the
SQW/OUT pin outputs one of four square-wave frequencies (1Hz, 4kHz, 8kHz,
32kHz). It is an open drain output and requires an external pullup resistor.
Operates with either VCC or VBAT applied. The pull up voltage may be up to
5.5V regardless of the voltage on VCC. If not used, this pin may be left
unconnected.

VCC
Primary Power Supply. When voltage is applied within normal limits, the device

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The DS1338 serial RTC is a low-power, full BCD clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data are
transferred serially through an I2C interface. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date,
month, and year information. The end of the month date is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31
days, including corrections for leap year. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with AM/PM
indicator. The DS1338 has a built-in power-sense circuit that detects power failures and automatically switches to
the VBAT supply.

DS1338
OPERATION
The DS1338 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 data. Subsequent registers can be accessed sequentially
until a STOP condition is executed. The device is fully accessible and data can be written and read when VCC is
greater than VPF. However, when VCC falls below VPF, the internal clock registers are blocked from any access. If
VPF is less than VBAT, the device power is switched from VCC to VBAT when VCC drops below VPF. If VPF is greater
than VBAT, the device power is switched from VCC to VBAT when VCC drops below VBAT. The oscillator and
timekeeping functions are maintained from the VBAT source until VCC is returned to nominal levels. The block
diagram (Figure 3) shows the main elements of the DS1338.
An enable bit in the seconds register controls the oscillator. Oscillator startup times are highly dependent upon
crystal characteristics, PC board leakage, and layout. High ESR and excessive capacitive loads are the major
contributors to long start-up times. A circuit using a crystal with the recommended characteristics and proper layout
usually starts within 1 second.
POWER CONTROL
The power-control function is provided by a precise, temperature-compensated voltage reference and a
comparator circuit that monitors the VCC level. The device is fully accessible and data can be written and read when
VCC is greater than VPF. However, when VCC falls below VPF, the internal clock registers are blocked from any
access. If VPF is less than VBAT, the device power is switched from VCC to VBAT when VCC drops below VPF. If VPF is
greater than VBAT, the device power is switched from VCC to VBAT when VCC drops below VBAT. The registers are
maintained from the VBAT source until VCC is returned to nominal levels (Table 1). After VCC returns above VPF, read
and write access is allowed after tREC (Figure 1). On the first application of power to the device the time and date
registers are reset to 01/01/00 01 00:00:00 (DD/MM/YY DOW HH:MM:SS). The CH bit in the seconds register will be set
to a 0.

OSCILLATOR CIRCUIT
The DS1338 uses an external 32.768kHz crystal. The oscillator circuit does not require any external resistors or
capacitors to operate. Table 2 specifies several crystal parameters for the external crystal. Figure 3 shows a
functional schematic of the oscillator circuit. The startup time is usually less than 1 second when using a crystal
with the specified characteristics.

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. Crystal
frequency drift caused by temperature shifts creates additional error. External circuit noise coupled into the
oscillator circuit can result in the clock running fast. Figure 4 shows a typical PC board layout for isolating the
crystal and oscillator from noise. Refer to Application Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Dallas Real-Time Clocks
for detailed information.
DS1338C ONLY
The DS1338C integrates a standard 32,768Hz crystal in the package. Typical accuracy at nominal VCC and +25°C
is approximately 10ppm. Refer to Application Note 58 for information about crystal accuracy vs. temperature.

RTC AND RAM ADDRESS MAP
Table 3 shows the address map for the RTC and RAM registers. The RTC registers and control register are located
in address locations 00h to 07h. The RAM registers are located in address locations 08h to 3Fh. During a multibyte
access, when the register pointer reaches 3Fh (the end of RAM space) it wraps around to location 00h (the
beginning of the clock space). On an I2C START, STOP, or register pointer incrementing to location 00h, the
current time and date is transferred to a second set of registers. The time and date in the secondary registers are
read in a multibyte data transfer, while the clock continues to run. This eliminates the need to re-read the registers
in case of an update of the main registers during a read.
CLOCK AND CALENDAR
The time and calendar information is obtained by reading the appropriate register bytes. See Figure 6 for the RTC
registers. The time and calendar are set or initialized by writing the appropriate register bytes. The contents of the
time and calendar registers are in the BCD format. Bit 7 of Register 0 is the clock halt (CH) bit. When this bit is set
to 1, the oscillator is disabled. When cleared to 0, the oscillator is enabled. The clock can be halted whenever the
timekeeping functions are not required, which minimizes VBAT current (IBATDAT) when VCC is not applied.
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.
When reading or writing the time and date registers, secondary (user) buffers are used to prevent errors when the
internal registers update. When reading the time and date registers, the user buffers are synchronized to the
internal registers on any start or stop and when the register pointer rolls over to zero. The countdown chain is reset
whenever the seconds register is written. Write transfers occur on the acknowledge from the DS1338. Once the
9 of 16
DS1338
countdown chain is reset, to avoid rollover issues the remaining time and date registers must be written within
1 second. The 1Hz square-wave output, if enabled, transitions high 500ms after the seconds data transfer,
provided the oscillator is already running.
The DS1338 runs in either 12-hour or 24-hour mode. Bit 6 of the hours register is defined as the 12-hour or 24-hour
mode-select bit. When high, the 12-hour mode is selected. In the 12-hour mode, bit 5 is the AM/PM bit, with logic
high being PM. In the 24-hour mode, bit 5 is the 20-hour bit (20–23 hours). If the 12/24-hour mode select is
changed, the hours register must be re-initialized to the new format.
On an I2C START, the current time is transferred to a second set of registers. The time information is read from
these secondary registers, while the clock continues to run. This eliminates the need to re-read the registers in
case of an update of the main registers during a read.

Bit 7: Output Control (OUT). Controls the output level of the SQW/OUT pin when the square-wave output is
disabled. If SQWE = 0, the logic level on the SQW/OUT pin is 1 if OUT = 1; it is 0 if OUT = 0.
Bit 5: Oscillator Stop Flag (OSF). A logic 1 in this bit indicates that the oscillator has stopped or was stopped for
some time period and can be used to judge the validity of the clock and calendar data. This bit is edge triggered,
and is set to logic 1 when the internal circuitry senses the oscillator has transitioned from a normal run state to a
STOP condition. The following are examples of conditions that may cause the OSF bit to be set:
1) The first time power is applied.
2) The voltage present on VCC and VBAT are insufficient to support oscillation.
3) The CH bit is set to 1, disabling the oscillator.
4) External influences on the crystal (i.e., noise, leakage, etc.).
This bit remains at logic 1 until written to logic 0. This bit can only be written to logic 0. Attempting to write OSF to
logic 1 leaves the value unchanged.
Bit 4: Square-Wave Enable (SQWE). When set to logic 1, this bit enables the oscillator output to operate with
either VCC or VBAT applied. The frequency of the square-wave output depends upon the value of the RS0 and RS1
bits.
Bits 1 and 0: Rate Select (RS1 and RS0). These bits control the frequency of the square-wave output when the
square-wave output has been enabled. The table below lists the square-wave frequencies that can be selected
with the RS bits.

I C SERIAL DATA BUS
The DS1338 supports the I2C protocol. A device that sends data onto the bus is defined as a transmitter and a
device receiving data is a receiver. The device that controls the message is called a master. The devices that are
controlled by the master are referred to as slaves. The bus must be controlled by a master device, which generates
the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the START and STOP conditions. The DS1338
operates as a slave on the I2C bus. Within the bus specifications, a standard mode (100kHz maximum clock rate)
and a fast mode (400kHz maximum clock rate) are defined. The DS1338 works in both modes. Connections to the
bus are made through the open-drain I/O lines SDA and SCL.
The following bus protocol has been defined (Figure 5).
Data transfer can 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 are 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 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
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 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 START and 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.
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.

DS1338
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 master transmits the first byte (the slave
address). Next follows a number of data bytes. The slave returns an acknowledge bit after each received byte.
Data is transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
2) Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master receiver. The master transmits the first byte (the slave
address). The slave then returns an acknowledge bit, which is followed by the slave transmitting a number of
data bytes. 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 is
not released. Data is transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
The DS1338 can operate in the following two modes:
1) Slave receiver mode (write mode): Serial data and clock are received through SDA and SCL. An
acknowledge bit is transmitted after each byte is received. START and STOP conditions are recognized as the
beginning and end of a serial transfer. Hardware performs address recognition after reception of the slave
address and direction bit (Figure 6). The slave address byte is the first byte received after the master
generates the START condition. The slave address byte contains the 7-bit DS1338 address—1101000—
followed by the direction bit (R/W), which, for a write, is 0. After receiving and decoding the slave address byte,
the slave outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. After the DS1338 acknowledges the slave address and
write bit, the master transmits a register address to the DS1338. This sets the register pointer on the DS1338,
with DS1338 acknowledging the transfer. The master may then transmit zero or more bytes of data, with the
DS1338 acknowledging each byte received. The register pointer increments after each data byte is transferred.
The master generates a STOP condition to terminate the data write.
2) Slave transmitter mode (read mode): The first byte is received and handled as in the slave receiver mode.
However, in this mode, the direction bit indicates that the transfer direction is reversed. The DS1338 transmits
serial data on SDA while the serial clock is input on SCL. START and STOP conditions are recognized as the
beginning and end of a serial transfer (Figure 7). The slave address byte is the first byte received after the
master generates the START condition. The slave address byte contains the 7-bit DS1338 address—
1101000—followed by the direction bit (R/W), which, for a read, is 1. After receiving and decoding the slave
address byte, the slave outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. The DS1338 then starts transmitting data
using the register address pointed to by the register pointer. If the register pointer is not set before the initiation
of a read mode, the first address that is read is the last one stored in the register pointer. The register pointer is
incremented after each byte is transferred. The DS1338 must receive a “not acknowledge” to end a read.
