DESCRIPTION
The DS1743 is a full-function, year-2000-compliant (Y2KC), real-time clock/calendar (RTC) and 8k x 8
nonvolatile static RAM. User access to all registers within the DS1743 is accomplished with a bytewide
interface as shown in Figure 1. The RTC information and control bits reside in the eight uppermost RAM
locations. The RTC registers contain century, year, month, date, day, hours, minutes, and seconds data in
24-hour binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. Corrections for the day of the month and leap year are made
automatically. The RTC clock registers are double buffered to avoid access of incorrect data that can occur
during clock update cycles. The double-buffered system also prevents time loss as the timekeeping
countdown continues unabated by access to time register data. The DS1743 also contains its own powerfail circuitry, which deselects the device when the VCC supply is in an out-of-tolerance condition. When
VCC is above VPF, the device is fully accessible. When VCC is below VPF, the internal CE signal is forced
high, preventing any access. When VCC rises above VPF, access remains inhibited for TREC, allowing time
for the system to stabilize. These features prevent loss of data from unpredictable system operation brought
on by low VCC as errant access and update cycles are avoided.

PACKAGES
The DS1743 is available in two packages: the 28-pin DIP and the 34-pin PowerCap module. The 28-pin
DIP-style module integrates the crystal, lithium energy source, and silicon all in one package. The 34-pin
PowerCap Module Board is designed with contacts for connection to a separate PowerCap (DS9034PCX)
that contains the crystal and battery. This design allows the PowerCap to be mounted on top of the
DS1743P after the completion of the surface-mount process. Mounting the PowerCap after the surfacemount process prevents damage to the crystal and battery due to the high temperatures required for solder
reflow. The PowerCap is keyed to prevent reverse insertion. The PowerCap Module Board and PowerCap
are ordered separately and shipped in separate containers. The part number for the PowerCap is
DS9034PCX.
TIME AND DATE OPERATION
The time and date information is obtained by reading the appropriate register bytes. Table 2 shows the
RTC registers. The time and date are set or initialized by writing the appropriate register bytes. The
contents of the time and date registers are in the BCD format. 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.
CLOCK OPERATIONS-READING THE CLOCK
While the double-buffered register structure reduces the chance of reading incorrect data, internal updates
to the DS1743 clock registers should be halted before clock data is read to prevent reading of data in
transition. However, halting the internal clock register updating process does not affect clock accuracy.
Updating is halted when a 1 is written into the read bit, bit 6 of the century register (see Table 2). As long
as a 1 remains in that position, updating is halted. After a halt is issued, the registers reflect the count that
is day, date, and time that was current at the moment the halt command was issued. However, the internal
clock registers of the double-buffered system continue to update so that the clock accuracy is not affected
by the access of data. All the DS1743 registers are updated simultaneously after the internal clock register
updating process has been re-enabled. Updating is within a second after the read bit is written to 0.
The READ bit must be a zero for a minimum of 500s to ensure the external registers are updated.
