The X1pin is the input of an inverting amplifier. An external 32.768kHz quartz crystal is used with the X1226 to supply a timebase for the real time clock. The recommended crystal is a Citizen CFS206-32.768KDZF. Internal compensation circuitry is included to form a complete oscillator circuit. Care should be taken in the placement of the crystal and the layout of the circuit. Plenty of ground plane around the device and short traces to X1 are highly recommended. See Application section for more recommendations. X2. The X2 pin is the output of an inverting amplifier. An external 32.768kHz quartz crystal is used with the X1226 to supply a timebase for the real time clock. The recommended crystal is a Citizen CFS206-32.768KDZF. Internal compensation circuitry is included to form a complete oscillator circuit. Care should be taken in the placement of the crystal and the layout of the circuit. Plenty of ground plane around the device and short traces to X2 are highly recommended. See Application section for more recommendations. Programmable Frequency/Interrupt Output – PHZ/IRQ. This is either an output from the internal oscillator or an interrupt signal output. It is an open drain output. When used as frequency output, this signal has a frequency of 32.768kHz, 4096Hz, 1Hz or inactive. When used as interrupt output, this signal notifies a host processor that an alarm has occurred and an action is required. It is an active LOW output. The control bits for this function are FO1 and FO0 and are found in address 0011h of the Clock Control Memory map. See “Programmable Frequency Output Bits—FO1, FO0” on page 8. VSS. Serial Data (SDA). SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out of the device. It has an open drain output and may be wire ORed with other open drain or open collector outputs. The input buffer is always active (not gated). An open drain output requires the use of a pull-up resistor. The output circuitry controls the fall time of the output signal with the use of a slope controlled pull-down. The circuit is designed for 400kHz 2-wire interface speed. Serial Clock (SCL). The SCL input is used to clock all data into and out of the device. The input buffer on this pin is always active (not gated). VBACK. This input provides a backup supply voltage to the device.

The Calendar has separate registers for Date, Month, Year and Day-of-week. The calendar is correct through 2099, with automatic leap year correction. The powerful Dual Alarms can be set to any Clock/Calendar value for a match. For instance, every minute, every Tuesday, or 5:23 AM on March 21. The alarms can be polled in the Status Register or provide a hardware interrupt (IRQ Pin). There is a repeat mode for the alarms allowing a periodic interrupt. The PHZ/IRQ pin may be software selected to provide a frequency output of 1 Hz, 4096 Hz, or 32,768 Hz. The device offers a backup power input pin. This VBACK pin allows the device to be backed up by battery or SuperCap. The entire X1226 device is fully operational from 2.7 to 5.5 volts and the clock/calendar portion of the X1226 device remains fully operational down to 1.8 volts (Standby Mode). The X1226 device provides 4K bits of EEPROM with 8 modes of BlockLock™ control. The BlockLock allows a safe, secure memory for critical user and configuration data, while allowing a large user storage area.

The power control circuit powers the clock from VBACK when VCC < VBACK – 0.2V. It will switch back to power the device from VCC when VCC exceeds VBACK. Figure 2. Power Control VCC Voltage the stop bit is written. The RTC continues to update the time while an RTC register write is in progress and the RTC continues to run during any nonvolatile write sequences. A single byte may be written to the RTC without affecting the other bytes. Accuracy of the Real Time Clock The accuracy of the Real Time Clock depends on the frequency of the quartz crystal that is used as the time base for the RTC. Since the resonant frequency of a crystal is temperature dependent, the RTC performance will also be dependent upon temperature. The frequency deviation of the crystal is a fuction of the turnover temperature of the crystal from the crystal’s nominal frequency. For example, a >20ppm frequency deviation translates into an accuracy of >1 minute per month. These parameters are available from the crystal manufacturer. Intersil’s RTC family provides on-chip crystal compensation networks to adjust loadcapacitance to tune oscillator frequency from +116 ppm to -37 ppm when using a 12.5 pF load crystal. For more detail information see the Application section. CLOCK/CONTROL REGISTERS (CCR) The Control/Clock Registers are located in an area separate from the EEPROM array and are only accessible following a slave byte of “1101111x” and reads or writes to addresses [0000h:003Fh]. The clock/control memory map has memory addresses from 0000h to 003Fh. The defined addresses are described in the Table 1. Writing to and reading from the undefined addresses are not recommended. CCR Access The contents of the CCR can be modified by performing a byte or a page write operation directly to any address in the CCR. Prior to writing to the CCR (except the status register), however, the WEL and RWEL bits must be set using a two step process (See section “Writing to the Clock/Control Registers.”) The CCR is divided into 5 sections. These are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Alarm 0 (8 bytes; non-volatile) Alarm 1 (8 bytes; non-volatile) Control (4 bytes; non-volatile) Real Time Clock (8 bytes; volatile) Status (1 byte; volatile) VBACK Off On In REAL TIME CLOCK OPERATION The Real Time Clock (RTC) uses an external 32.768kHz quartz crystal to maintain an accurate internal representation of the second, minute, hour, day, date, month, and year. The RTC has leap-year correction. The clock also corrects for months having fewer than 31 days and has a bit that controls 24 hour or AM/PM format. When the X1226 powers up after the loss of both VCC and VBACK, the clock will not operate until at least one byte is written to the clock register. Reading the Real Time Clock The RTC is read by initiating a Read command and specifying the address corresponding to the register of the Real Time Clock. The RTC Registers can then be read in a Sequential Read Mode. Since the clock runs continuously and a read takes a finite amount of time, there is the possibility that the clock could change during the course of a read operation. In this device, the time is latched by the read command (falling edge of the clock on the ACK bit prior to RTC data output) into a separate latch to avoid time changes during the read operation. The clock continues to run. Alarms occurring during a read are unaffected by the read operation. Writing to the Real Time Clock The time and date may be set by writing to the RTC registers. To avoid changing the current time by an uncompleted write operation, the current time value is loaded into a separate buffer at the falling edge of the clock on the ACK bit before the RTC data input bytes, the clock continues to run. The new serial input data replaces the values in the buffer. This new RTC value is loaded back into the RTC Register by a stop bit at the end of a valid write sequence. An invalid write operation aborts the time update procedure and the contents of the buffer are discarded. After a valid write operation the RTC will reflect the newly loaded data beginning with the next “one second” clock cycle after 5 Each register is read and written through buffers. The non-volatile portion (or the counter portion of the RTC) is updated only if RWEL is set and only after a valid write operation and stop bit. A sequential read or page write operation provides access to the contents of only one section of the CCR per operation. Access to another section requires a new operation. Continued reads or writes, FN8098.2 September 15, 2005 X1226 once reaching the end of a section, will wrap around to the start of the section. A read or write can begin at any address in the CCR. It is not necessary to set the RWEL bit prior to writing the status register. Section 5 (status register) supports a single byte read or write only. Continued reads or writes from this section terminates the operation. The state of the CCR can be read by performing a random read at any address in the CCR at any time. This returns the contents of that register location. Additional Table 1. Clock/Control Memory Map Addr. Type Reg Name Range Default Bit 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 (optional) registers are read by performing a sequential read. The read instruction latches all Clock registers into a buffer, so an update of the clock does not change the time being read. A sequential read of the CCR will not result in the output of data from the memory array. At the end of a read, the master supplies a stop condition to end the operation and free the bus. After a read of the CCR, the address remains at the previous address +1 so the user can execute a current address read of the CCR and continue reading the next Register. 003F 0037 0036 0035 0034 0033 0032 0031 0030 0013 0012 0011 0010 000F 000E 000D 000C 000B 000A 0009 0008 0007 0006 0005 0004 0003 0002 0001 0000 Status RTC (SRAM) SR Y2K DW YR MO DT HR MN SC BAT 0 0 Y23 0 0 MIL 0 0 0 0 IM BP2 0 EDW1 EMO1 EDT1 EHR1 EMN1 ESC1 0 EDW0 EMO0 EDT0 EHR0 EMN0 ESC0 AL1 0 0 Y22 0 0 0 M22 S22 0 0 AL1E BP1 0 0 0 0 0 A1M22 A1S22 0 0 0 0 0 A0M22 A0S22 AL0 Y2K21 0 Y21 0 D21 H21 M21 S21 0 ATR5 AL0E BP0 A1Y2K21 0 0 A1D21 A1H21 A1M21 A1S21 A0Y2K21 0 0 A0D21 A0H21 A0M21 A0S21 0 Y2K20 0 Y20 G20 D20 H20 M20 S20 0 ATR4 FO1 0 A1Y2K20 0 A1G20 A1D20 A1H20 A1M20 A1S20 A0Y2K20 0 A0G20 A0D20 A0H20 A0M20 A0S20 0 Y2K13 0 Y13 G13 D13 H13 M13 S13 0 ATR3 FO0 0 A1Y2K13 0 A1G13 A1D13 A1H13 A1M13 A1S13 A0Y2K13 0 A0G13 A0D13 A0H13 A0M13 A0S13 RWEL 0 DY2 Y12 G12 D12 H12 M12 S12 DTR2 ATR2 X 0 0 DY2 A1G12 A1D12 A1H12 A1M12 A1S12 0 DY2 A0G12 A0D12 A0H12 A0M12 A0S12 WEL 0 DY1 Y11 G11 D11 H11 M11 S11 DTR1 ATR1 X 0 0 DY1 A1G11 A1D11 A1H11 A1M11 A1S11 0 DY1 A0G11 A0D11 A0H11 A0M11 A0S11 RTCF Y2K10 DY0 Y10 G10 D10 H10 M10 S10 DTR0 ATR0 X 0 A1Y2K10 DY0 A1G10 A1D10 A1H10 A1M10 A1S10 A0Y2K10 DY0 A0G10 A0D10 A0H10 A0M10 A0S10 19/20 0-6 1-12 1-31 0-23 0-59 0-59 19/20 0-6 1-12 1-31 0-23 0-59 0-59 19/20 0-6 0-99 1-12 1-31 0-23 0-59 0-59 01h 20h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 20h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 20h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h 00h Control (EEPROM) DTR ATR INT BL Alarm1 (EEPROM) Y2K1 DWA1 YRA1 MOA1 DTA1 HRA1 MNA1 SCA1 Unused - Default = RTC Year value (No EEPROM) - Future expansion Alarm0 (EEPROM) Y2K0 DWA0 YRA0 MOA0 DTA0 HRA0 MNA0 SCA0 Unused - Default = RTC Year value (No EEPROM) - Future expansion 6 FN8098.2 September 15, 2005 X1226 ALARM REGISTERS There are two alarm registers whose contents mimic the contents of the RTC register, but add enable bits and exclude the 24 hour time selection bit. The enable bits specify which registers to use in the comparison between the Alarm and Real Time Registers. For example: – Setting the Enable Month bit (EMOn*) bit in combination with other enable bits and a specific alarm time, the user can establish an alarm that triggers at the same time once a year. *n = 0 for Alarm 0: N = 1 for Alarm 1 When there is a match, an alarm flag is set. The occurrence of an alarm can be determined by polling the AL0 and AL1 bits or by enabling the IRQ output, using it as hardware flag. The alarm enable bits are located in the MSB of the particular register. When all enable bits are set to ‘0’, there are no alarms. – The user can set the X1226 to alarm every Wednesday at 8:00 AM by setting the EDWn*, the EHRn* and EMNn* enable bits to ‘1’ and setting the DWAn*, HRAn* and MNAn* Alarm registers to 8:00 AM Wednesday. – A daily alarm for 9:30PM results when the EHRn* and EMNn* enable bits are set to ‘1’ and the HRAn* and MNAn* registers are set to 9:30 PM. *n = 0 for Alarm 0: N = 1 for Alarm 1 REAL TIME CLOCK REGISTERS Clock/Calendar Registers (SC, MN, HR, DT, MO, YR) These registers depict BCD representations of the time. As such, SC (Seconds) and MN (Minutes) range from 00 to 59, HR (Hour) is 1 to 12 with an AM or PM indicator (H21 bit) or 0 to 23 (with MIL = 1), DT (Date) is 1 to 31, MO (Month) is 1 to 12, YR (Year) is 0 to 99. Leap Years Leap years add the day February 29 and are defined as those years that are divisible by 4. Years divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also divisible by 400. This means that the year 2000 is a leap year, the year 2100 is not. The X1226 does not correct for the leap year in the year 2100. STATUS REGISTER (SR) The Status Register is located in the CCR memory map at address 003Fh. This is a volatile register only and is used to control the WEL and RWEL write enable latches, read power status and two alarm bits. This register is separate from both the array and the Clock/Control Registers (CCR). Table 2. Status Register (SR) Addr 003Fh Default 7 BAT 0 6 AL1 0 5 AL0 0 4 0 0 3 0 0 2 RWEL 0 1 WEL 0 0 RTCF 1 BAT: Battery Supply—Volatile This bit set to “1” indicates that the device is operating from VBACK, not VCC. It is a read-only bit and is set/reset by hardware (X1226 internally). Once the device begins operating from VCC, the device sets this bit to “0”. AL1, AL0: Alarm bits—Volatile These bits announce if either alarm 0 or alarm 1 match the real time clock. If there is a match, the respective bit is set to ‘1’. The falling edge of the last data bit in a SR Read operation resets the flags. Note: Only the AL bits that are set when an SR read starts will be reset. An alarm bit that is set by an alarm occurring during an SR read operation will remain set after the read operation is complete. RWEL: Register Write Enable Latch—Volatile This bit is a volatile latch that powers up in the LOW (disabled) state. The RWEL bit must be set to “1” prior to any writes to the Clock/Control Registers. Writes to RWEL bit do not cause a nonvolatile write cycle, so the device is ready for the next operation immediately after the stop condition. A write to the CCR requires both the RWEL and WEL bits to be set in a specific sequence. Date of the Week Register (DW) This register provides a Day of the Week status and uses three bits DY2 to DY0 to represent the seven days of the week. The counter advances in the cycle 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-0-1-2-… The assignment of a numerical value to a specific day of the week is arbitrary and may be decided by the system software designer. The default value is defined as ‘0’. 24 Hour Time If the MIL bit of the HR register is 1, the RTC uses a 24-hour format. If the MIL bit is 0, the RTC uses a 12hour format and H21 bit functions as an AM/PM indicator with a ‘1’ representing PM. The clock defaults to standard time with H21 = 0. 7 FN8098.2 September 15, 2005 X1226 WEL: Write Enable Latch—Volatile The WEL bit controls the access to the CCR and memory array during a write operation. This bit is a volatile latch that powers up in the LOW (disabled) state. While the WEL bit is LOW, writes to the CCR or any array address will be ignored (no acknowledge will be issued after the Data Byte). The WEL bit is set by writing a “1” to the WEL bit and zeroes to the other bits of the Status Register. Once set, WEL remains set until either reset to 0 (by writing a “0” to the WEL bit and zeroes to the other bits of the Status Register) or until the part powers up again. Writes to WEL bit do not cause a nonvolatile write cycle, so the device is ready for the next operation immediately after the stop condition. RTCF: Real Time Clock Fail Bit—Volatile This bit is set to a ‘1’ after a total power failure. This is a read only bit that is set by hardware (X1226 internally) when the device powers up after having lost all power to the device. The bit is set regardless of whether VCC or VBACK is applied first. The loss of only one of the supplies does not result in setting the RTCF bit. The first valid write to the RTC after a complete power failure (writing one byte is sufficient) resets the RTCF bit to ‘0’. Unused Bits: This device does not use bits 3 or 4 in the SR, but must have a zero in these bit positions. The Data Byte output during a SR read will contain zeros in these bit locations. CONTROL REGISTERS The Control Bits and Registers, described under this section, are nonvolatile. Block Protect Bits—BP2, BP1, BP0 The Block Protect Bits, BP2, BP1 and BP0, determine which blocks of the array are write protected. A write to a protected block of memory is ignored. The block protect bits will prevent write operations to one of eight segments of the array. The partitions are described in Table 3. INTERRUPT CONTROL AND FREQUENCY OUTPUT REGISTER (INT) Interrupt Control and Status Bits (IM, AL1E, AL0E) There are two Interrupt Control bits, Alarm 1 Interrupt Enable (AL1E) and Alarm 0 Interrupt Enable (AL0E) to specifically enable or disable the alarm interrupt signal output (IRQ). The interrupts are enabled when either the AL1E and AL0E bits are set to ‘1’, respectively. Two volatile bits (AL1 and AL0), associated with the two alarms respectively, indicate if an alarm has happened. These bits are set on an alarm condition regardless of whether the IRQ interrupt is enabled. The AL1 and AL0 bits in the status register are reset by the falling edge of the eighth clock of a read of the register containing the bits. Pulse Interrupt Mode The pulsed interrrupt mode allows for repetitive or recurring alarm functionality. Hence an repetitive or recurring alarm can be set for every nth second, or nth minute, or nth hour, or nth date, or for the same day of the week. The pulsed interrupt mode can be considered a repetitive interrupt mode, with the repetition rate set by the time setting fo the alarm. The Pulse Interrupt Mode is enabled when the IM bit is set.

If the interrupt mode bit (IM bit) is set, then this pulse will be periodic. Programmable Frequency Output Bits—FO1, FO0 These are two output control bits. They select one of three divisions of the internal oscillator, that is applied to the PHZ output pin. Table 4 shows the selection bits for this output. When using the PHZ output function, the Alarm IRQ output function is disabled. 8 FN8098.2 September 15, 2005 X1226 Table 4. Programmable Frequency Output Bits FO1 0 0 1 1 The on-chip capacitance can be calculated as follows: CATR = [(ATR value, decimal) x 0.25pF] + 11.0pF Note that the ATR values are in two’s complement, with ATR(000000) = 11.0pF, so the entire range runs from 3.25pF to 18.75pF in 0.25pF steps. The values calculated above are typical, and total load capacitance seen by the crystal will include approximately 2pF of package and board capacitance in addition to the ATR value. See Application Section and Intersil’s Application Note AN154 for more information. WRITING TO THE CLOCK/CONTROL REGISTERS Changing any of the nonvolatile bits of the clock/control register requires the following steps: – Write a 02h to the Status Register to set the Write Enable Latch (WEL). This is a volatile operation, so there is no delay after the write. (Operation preceeded by a start and ended with a stop). – Write a 06h to the Status Register to set both the Register Write Enable Latch (RWEL) and the WEL bit. This is also a volatile cycle. The zeros in the data byte are required. (Operation preceeded by a start and ended with a stop). – Write one to 8 bytes to the Clock/Control Registers with the desired clock, alarm, or control data. This sequence starts with a start bit, requires a slave byte of “11011110” and an address within the CCR and is terminated by a stop bit. A write to the CCR changes EEPROM values so these initiate a nonvolatile write cycle and will take up to 10ms to complete. Writes to undefined areas have no effect. The RWEL bit is reset by the completion of a nonvolatile write cycle, so the sequence must be repeated to again initiate another change to the CCR contents. If the sequence is not completed for any reason (by sending an incorrect number of bits or sending a start instead of a stop, for example) the RWEL bit is not reset and the device remains in an active mode. – Writing all zeros to the status register resets both the WEL and RWEL bits. – A read operation occurring between any of the previous operations will not interrupt the register write operation.

DTR2 is a sign bit. DTR2 = 0 means frequency compensation is > 0. DTR2 = 1 means frequency compensation is < 0. DTR1 and DTR0 are scale bits. DTR1 gives 10 ppm adjustment and DTR0 gives 20 ppm adjustment. A range from -30ppm to +30ppm can be represented by using three bits above. Table 5.

The on-chip load capacitance ranges from 3.25pF to 18.75pF. Each bit has a different weight for capacitance adjustment. Using a Citizen CFS-206 crystal with different ATR bit combinations provides an estimated ppm range from +116ppm to -37ppm to the nominal frequency compensation. The combination of digital and analog trimming can give up to +146ppm adjustment. 9 FN8098.2 September 15, 2005 X1226 SERIAL COMMUNICATION Interface Conventions The device supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends data onto the bus as a transmitter, and the receiving device as the receiver. The device controlling the transfer is called the master and the device being controlled is called the slave. The master always initiates data transfers, and provides the clock for both transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the devices in this family operate as slaves in all applications. Clock and Data Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are reserved for indicating start and stop conditions. See Figure 3. Start Condition All commands are preceded by the start condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The device continuously monitors the SDA and SCL lines for the start condition and will not respond to any command until this condition has been met. See Figure 4. Stop Condition All communications must be terminated by a stop condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is also used to place the device into the Standby power mode after a read sequence. A stop condition can only be issued after the transmitting device has released the bus. See Figure 4. Figure 3. Valid Data Changes on the SDA Bus Acknowledge Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate successful data transfer. The transmitting device, either master or slave, will release the bus after transmitting eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the receiver will pull the SDA line LOW to acknowledge that it received the eight bits of data. Refer to Figure 5. The device will respond with an acknowledge after recognition of a start condition and if the correct Device Identifier and Select bits are contained in the Slave Address Byte. If a write operation is selected, the device will respond with an acknowledge after the receipt of each subsequent eight bit word. The device will acknowledge all incoming data and address bytes, except for: – The Slave Address Byte when the Device Identifier and/or Select bits are incorrect – All Data Bytes of a write when the WEL in the Write Protect Register is LOW – The 2nd Data Byte of a Status Register Write Operation (only 1 data byte is allowed) In the read mode, the device will transmit eight bits of data, release the SDA line, then monitor the line for an acknowledge. If an acknowledge is detected and no stop condition is generated by the master, the device will continue to transmit data. The device will terminate further data transmissions if an acknowledge is not detected. The master must then issue a stop condition to return the device to Standby mode and place the device into a known state.

Acknowledge Response From Receiver SCL from Master Data Output from Transmitter Data Output from Receiver Start Acknowledge 1 8 9 DEVICE ADDRESSING Following a start condition, the master must output a Slave Address Byte. The first four bits of the Slave Address Byte specify access to either the EEPROM array or to the CCR. Slave bits ‘1010’ access the EEPROM array. Slave bits ‘1101’ access the CCR. When shipped from the factory, EEPROM array is UNDEFINED, and should be programmed by the customer to a known state. Bit 3 through Bit 1 of the slave byte specify the device select bits. These are set to ‘111’. The last bit of the Slave Address Byte defines the operation to be performed. When this R/W bit is a one, then a read operation is selected. A zero selects a write operation. Refer to Figure 6. After loading the entire Slave Address Byte from the SDA bus, the X1226 compares the device identifier and device select bits with ‘1010111’ or ‘1101111’. Upon a correct compare, the device outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. Following the Slave Byte is a two byte word address. The word address is either supplied by the master device or obtained from an internal counter. On powerup the internal address counter is set to address 0h, so a current address read of the EEPROM array starts at address 0. When required, as part of a random read, the master must supply the 2 Word Address Bytes as shown in Figure 6. In a random read operation, the slave byte in the “dummy write” portion must match the slave byte in the “read” section. That is if the random read is from the array the slave byte must be 1010111x in both instances. Similarly, for a random read of the Clock/Control Registers, the slave byte must be 1101111x in both places. 11 FN8098.2 September 15, 2005 X1226 Figure 6.

This gives the master access to any one of the words in the array or CCR. (Note: Prior to writing to the CCR, the master must write a 02h, then 06h to the status register in two preceding operations to enable the write operation. See “Writing to the Clock/Control Registers.” Upon receipt of each address byte, the X1226 responds with Figure 7. Byte Write Sequence S t a r t 1 an acknowledge. After receiving both address bytes the X1226 awaits the eight bits of data. After receiving the 8 data bits, the X1226 again responds with an acknowledge. The master then terminates the transfer by generating a stop condition. The X1226 then begins an internal write cycle of the data to the nonvolatile memory. During the internal write cycle, the device inputs are disabled, so the device will not respond to any requests from the master. The SDA output is at high impedance. See Figure 7.

At the end of the write command, the X1226 will not initiate an internal write cycle, and will continue to ACK commands. Page Write The X1226 has a page write operation. It is initiated in the same manner as the byte write operation; but instead of terminating the write cycle after the first data byte is transferred, the master can transmit up to 63 more bytes to the memory array and up to 7 more bytes to the clock/control registers. (Note: Prior to writing to the CCR, the master must write a 02h, then 06h to the status register in two preceding operations to enable the write operation. See “Writing to the Clock/Control Registers.” After the receipt of each byte, the X1226 responds with an acknowledge, and the address is internally incremented by one. When the counter reaches the end of the page, it “rolls over” and goes back to the first address on the same page. This means that the master can write 64 bytes to a memory array page or 8 bytes to a CCR section starting at any location on that Figure 9. Page Write Sequence S t a r t 1 ≤ n ≤ 64 for EEPROM array 1 ≤ n ≤ 8 for CCR Slave Address Word Address 1 Word Address 0 Data (1) Data (n) S t o p page. For example, if the master begins writing at location 60 of the memory and loads 30 bytes, then the first 23 bytes are written to addresses 40 through 63, and the last 7 bytes are written to columns 0 through 6. Afterwards, the address counter would point to location 7 on the page that was just written. If the master supplies more than the maximum bytes in a page, then the previously loaded data is over written by the new data, one byte at a time. Refer to Figure 8. The master terminates the Data Byte loading by issuing a stop condition, which causes the X1226 to begin the nonvolatile write cycle. As with the byte write operation, all inputs are disabled until completion of the internal write cycle. Refer to Figure 9 for the address, acknowledge, and data transfer sequence. Stops and Write Modes Stop conditions that terminate write operations must be sent by the master after sending at least 1 full data byte and it’s associated ACK signal. If a stop is issued in the middle of a data byte, or before 1 full data byte + ACK is sent, then the X1226 resets itself without performing the write. The contents of the array are not affected.

Once the stop condition is issued to indicate the end of the master’s byte load operation, the X1226 initiates the internal nonvolatile write cycle. Acknowledge polling can begin immediately. To do this, the master issues a start condition followed by the Memory Array Slave Address Byte for a write or read operation (AEh or AFh). If the X1226 is still busy with the nonvolatile write cycle then no ACK will be returned. When the X1226 has completed the write operation, an ACK is returned and the host can proceed with the read or write operation. Refer to the flow chart in Figure 11. Note: Do not use the CCR Salve byte (DEh or DFh) for Acknowledge Polling. Read Operations There are three basic read operations: Current Address Read, Random Read, and Sequential Read. Current Address Read Internally the X1226 contains an address counter that maintains the address of the last word read incremented by one. Therefore, if the last read was to address n, the next read operation would access data from address n+1. On power-up, the sixteen bit address is initialized to 0h. In this way, a current address read immediately after the power-on reset can download the entire contents of memory starting at the first location.Upon receipt of the Slave Address Byte with the R/W bit set to one, the X1226 issues an acknowledge, then transmits eight data bits. The master terminates the read operation by not responding with an acknowledge during the ninth clock and issuing a stop condition. Refer to Figure 10 for the address, acknowledge, and data transfer sequence. Figure 10. Current Address Read Sequence S t a r t 1 S t o p YES Continue normal Read or Write command sequence Figure 11. Acknowledge Polling Sequence Byte load completed by issuing STOP. Enter ACK Polling Issue START Issue Memory Array Slave Address Byte AFh (Read) or AEh (Write) Issue STOP ACK returned? YES nonvolatile write Cycle complete. Continue command sequence? NO NO Issue STOP PROCEED It should be noted that the ninth clock cycle of the read operation is not a “don’t care.” To terminate a read operation, the master must either issue a stop condition during the ninth cycle or hold SDA HIGH during the ninth clock cycle and then issue a stop condition. Signals from the Master SDA Bus Signals from the Slave Slave Address 1 1 11 A C K Data 14 FN8098.2 September 15, 2005 X1226 Random Read Random read operations allow the master to access any location in the X1226. Prior to issuing the Slave Address Byte with the R/W bit set to zero, the master must first perform a “dummy” write operation. The master issues the start condition and the slave address byte, receives an acknowledge, then issues the word address bytes. After acknowledging receipt of each word address byte, the master immediately issues another start condition and the slave address byte with the R/W bit set to one. This is followed by an acknowledge from the device and then by the eight bit data word. The master terminates the read operation by not responding with an acknowledge and then issuing a stop condition. Refer to Figure 12 for the address, acknowledge, and data transfer sequence. In a similar operation called “Set Current Address,” the device sets the address if a stop is issued instead of the second start shown in Figure 12. The X1226 then goes into standby mode after the stop and all bus activity will be ignored until a start is detected. This operation loads the new address into the address counter. The next Current Address Read operation will Figure 12. Random Address Read Sequence S t a r t 1 S t a r t 1 A C K A C K read from the newly loaded address. This operation could be useful if the master knows the next address it needs to read, but is not ready for the data. Sequential Read Sequential reads can be initiated as either a current address read or random address read. The first data byte is transmitted as with the other modes; however, the master now responds with an acknowledge, indicating it requires additional data. The device continues to output data for each acknowledge received. The master terminates the read operation by not responding with an acknowledge and then issuing a stop condition. The data output is sequential, with the data from address n followed by the data from address n + 1. The address counter for read operations increments through all page and column addresses, allowing the entire memory contents to be serially read during one operation. At the end of the address space the counter “rolls over” to the start of the address space and the X1226 continues to output data for each acknowledge received. Refer to Figure 13 for the acknowledge and data transfer sequence.

Crystal Parameters Required for Intersil RTC’s Parameter Frequency Freq. Tolerance Turnover Temperature Operating Temperature Range Parallel Load Capacitance Equivalent Series Resistance 20 -40 12.5 50 25 the temperature extremes of -40 and +85 deg C. It is possible to address this variable drift by adjusting the load capacitance of the crystal, which will result in predictable change to the crystal frequency. The Intersil RTC family allows this adjustment over temperature since the devices include on-chip load capacitor trimming. This control is handled by the Analog Trimming Register, or ATR, which has 6 bits of control. The load capacitance range covered by the ATR circuit is approximately 3.25pF to 18.75pF, in 0.25pf increments. Note that actual capacitance would also include about 2pF of package related capacitance. Incircuit tests with commercially available crystals demonstrate that this range of capacitance allows frequency control from +116ppm to -37ppm, using a 12.5pF load crystal. In addition to the analog compensation afforded by the adjustable load capacitance, a digital compensation feature is available for the Intersil RTC family. There are three bits known as the Digital Trimming Register or DTR, and they operate by adding or skipping pulses in the clock signal. The range provided is ±30ppm in increments of 10ppm. The default setting is 0ppm. The DTR control can be used for coarse adjustments of frequency drift over temperature or for crystal initial accuracy correction.

Once the RTC circuit is powered up with battery backup, the PHZ output is set at 32.768kHz and frequency drift is measured. The ATR control is then adjusted to a setting which minimizes drift. Once adjusted at a particular temperature, it is possible to adjust at other discrete temperatures for minimal overall drift, and store the resulting settings in the EEPROM. Extremely low overall temperature drift is possible with this method. The Intersil evaluation board contains the circuitry necessary to implement this control. For more detailed operation see Intersil’s application note AN154 on Intersil’s website at www.intersil.com. Layout Considerations The crystal input at X1 has a very high impedance and will pick up high frequency signals from other circuits on the board. Since the X2 pin is tied to the other side of the crystal, it is also a sensitive node. These signals can couple into the oscillator circuit and produce double clocking or mis-clocking, seriously affecting the accuracy of the RTC. Care needs to be taken in layout of the RTC circuit to avoid noise pickup. Below in Figure 15 is a suggested layout for the X1226 or X1227 devices. Figure 15. Suggested Layout for Intersil RTC in SO-8 The X1226 product has a special consideration. The PHZ/IRQ- pin on the 8 Ld SOIC package is located next to the X2 pin. When this pin is used as a frequency output (PHZ) and is set to 32.768kHz output frequency, noise can couple to the X1 or X2 pins and cause double-clocking. The layout in figure 15 can help minimize this by running the PHZ output away from the X1 and X2 pins. Also, minimizing the switching current at this pin by careful selection of the pullup resistor value will reduce noise. Intersil suggests a minimum value of 5.1kΩ for 32.768kHz, and higher values (up to 20kΩ) for lower frequency PHZ outputs. For other RTC products, the same rules stated above should be observed, but adjusted slightly since the packages and pinouts are slightly different. Assembly Most electronic circuits do not have to deal with assembly issues, but with the RTC devices assembly includes insertion or soldering of a live battery into an unpowered circuit. If a socket is soldered to the board, and a battery is inserted in final assembly, then there are no issues with operation of the RTC. If the battery is soldered to the board directly, then the RTC device Vback pin will see some transient upset from either soldering tools or intermittent battery connections which can stop the circuit from oscillating. Once the battery is soldered to the board, the only way to assure the circuit will start up is to momentarily (very short period of time!) short the Vback pin to ground and the circuit will begin to oscillate. Oscillator Measurements When a proper crystal is selected and the layout guidelines above are observed, the oscillator should start up in most circuits in less than one second. Some circuits may take slightly longer, but startup should definitely occur in less than 5 seconds. When testing RTC circuits, the most common impulse is to apply a scope probe to the circuit at the X2 pin (oscillator output) and observe the waveform. DO NOT DO THIS! Although in some cases you may see a useable waveform, due to the parasitics (usually 10pF to ground) applied with the scope probe, there will be no useful information in that waveform other than the fact that the circuit is oscillating. The X2 output is sensitive to capacitive impedance so the voltage levels and the frequency will be affected by the parasitic elements in the scope probe. Applying a scope probe can possibly cause a faulty oscillator to start up, hiding other issues (although in the Intersil RTC’s, the internal circuitry assures startup when using the proper crystal and layout). The X1 and X2 connections to the crystal are to be kept as short as possible. A thick ground trace around the crystal is advised to minimize noise intrusion, but ground near the X1 and X2 pins should be avoided as it will add to the load capacitance at those pins. Keep in mind these guidelines for other PCB layers in the vicinity of the RTC device. A small decoupling capacitor at the Vcc pin of the chip is mandatory, with a solid connection to ground. 21 FN8098.2 September 15, 2005 X1226 The best way to analyze the RTC circuit is to power it up and read the real time clock as time advances, or if the chip has the PHZ output, look at the output of that pin on an oscilloscope (after enabling it with the control register, and using a pullup resistor for an opendrain output). Alternaltively, the X1226 device has an IRQ- output which can be checked by setting an alarm for each minute. Using the pulse interrupt mode setting, the once-per-minute interrupt functions as an indication of proper oscillation. Backup Battery Operation Many types of batteries can be used with the Intersil RTC products. 3.0V or 3.6V Lithium batteries are appropriate, and sizes are available that can power a Intersil RTC device for up to 10 years. Another option is to use a supercapacitor for applications where Vcc may disappear intermittently for short periods of time. Depending on the value of supercapacitor used, backup time can last from a few days to two weeks (with >1F). A simple silicon or Schottky barrier diode can be used in series with Vcc to charge the supercaTable 8. Battery Backup Operation 1. Example Application, Vcc=5V, Vback=3.0V pacitor, which is connected to the Vback pin. Do not use the diode to charge a battery (especially lithium batteries!). Figure 16. Supercapactor charging circuit 2.7-5.5V VCC Vback Supercapacitor VSS Since the battery switchover occurs at Vcc = Vback0.1V (see Figure 16), the battery voltage must always be lower than the Vcc voltage during normal operation or the battery will be drained.
