7. Functional description
The PCA85073A contains 18 8-bit registers with an auto-incrementing register address,
an on-chip 32.768 kHz oscillator with integrated capacitors, a frequency divider which
provides the source clock for the Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calender, and an I2C-bus
interface with a maximum data rate of 400 kbit/s.
The built-in address register will increment automatically after each read or write of a data
byte up to the register 11h. After register 11h, the auto-incrementing will wrap around to
address 00h (see Figure 3).

Handling address registers
All registers (see Table 4) are designed as addressable 8-bit parallel registers although
not all bits are implemented. The first two registers (memory address 00h and 01h) are
used as control and status register. The register at address 02h is an offset register
allowing the fine-tuning of the clock; and at 03h is a free RAM byte. The addresses 04h
through 0Ah are used as counters for the clock function (seconds up to years counters).
Address locations 0Bh through 0Fh contain alarm registers which define the conditions for
an alarm. The registers at 10h and 11h are for the timer function.
The Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Months, and Years as well as the corresponding
alarm registers are all coded in Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format. When one of the
RTC registers is written or read, the contents of all time counters are frozen. Therefore,
faulty writing or reading of the clock and calendar during a carry condition is prevented.
For details on maximum access time, see Section 7.4 on page 24.

7.2 Control registers
To ensure that all control registers will be set to their default values, the VDD level must be
at zero volts at initial power-up. If this is not possible, a reset must be initiated with the
software reset command when power is stable. Refer to Section 7.2.1.3 for details.

7.2.1.1
EXT_TEST: external clock test mode
A test mode is available which allows for on-board testing. In this mode, it is possible to
set up test conditions and control the operation of the RTC.
The test mode is entered by setting bit EXT_TEST in register Control_1. Then
pin CLKOUT becomes an input. The test mode replaces the internal clock signal with the
signal applied to pin CLKOUT.
The signal applied to pin CLKOUT should have a minimum pulse width of 300 ns and a
maximum period of 1000 ns. The internal clock, now sourced from CLKOUT, is divided
down to 1 Hz by a 26 divide chain called a prescaler. The prescaler can be set into a
known state by using bit STOP. When bit STOP is set, the prescaler is reset to 0. (STOP
must be cleared before the prescaler can operate again.)
From a stop condition, the first 1 second increment will take place after 32 positive edges
on pin CLKOUT. Thereafter, every 64 positive edges cause a 1 second increment.
Remark: Entry into test mode is not synchronized to the internal 64 Hz clock. When
entering the test mode, no assumption as to the state of the prescaler can be made.
Operation example:
1. Set EXT_TEST test mode (register Control_1, bit EXT_TEST = 1).
2. Set STOP (register Control_1, bit STOP = 1).
3. Clear STOP (register Control_1, bit STOP = 0).
4. Set time registers to desired value.
5. Apply 32 clock pulses to pin CLKOUT.
6. Read time registers to see the first change.
7. Apply 64 clock pulses to pin CLKOUT.
8. Read time registers to see the second change.
Repeat 7 and 8 for additional increments.

7.2.1.2
STOP: STOP bit function
The function of the STOP bit (see Figure 4) is to allow for accurate starting of the time
circuits. The STOP bit function causes the upper part of the prescaler (F2 to F14) to be
held in reset and thus no 1 Hz ticks are generated. It also stops the output of clock
frequencies below 8 kHz on pin CLKOUT.

F0 is clocked at 32.768 kHz.
The lower two stages of the prescaler (F0 and F1) are not reset. And because the I2C-bus
is asynchronous to the crystal oscillator, the accuracy of restarting the time circuits is
between zero and one 8.192 kHz cycle (see Figure 5).

STOP bit release timing
The first increment of the time circuits is between 0.507813 s and 0.507935 s after STOP
bit is released. The uncertainty is caused by the prescaler bits F0 and F1 not being reset
(see Table 6) and the unknown state of the 32 kHz clock.

AIE: This bit activates or deactivates the generation of an interrupt when AF is asserted,
respectively.
AF: When an alarm occurs, AF is set logic 1. This bit maintains its value until overwritten
by command. To prevent one flag being overwritten while clearing another, a logic AND is
performed during a write access.

7.2.2.2
MI and HMI: minute and half minute interrupt
The minute interrupt (bit MI) and half minute interrupt (bit HMI) are pre-defined timers for
generating interrupt pulses on pin INT; see Figure 8. The timers are running in sync with
the seconds counter (see Table 18 on page 20).
The minute and half minute interrupts must only be used when the frequency offset is set
to normal mode (MODE = 0), see Section 7.2.3. In normal mode, the interrupt pulses on
pin INT are 1⁄64 s wide.
When starting MI, the first interrupt will be generated after 1 second to 59 seconds. When
starting HMI, the first interrupt will be generated after 1 second to 29 seconds.
Subsequent periods do not have such a delay. The timers can be enabled independently
from one another. However, a minute interrupt enabled on top of a half minute interrupt is
not distinguishable.

The duration of the timer is affected by the register Offset (see Section 7.2.3). Only when
OFFSET[6:0] has the value 00h the periods are consistent.
7.2.2.3
TF: timer flag
The timer flag (bit TF) is set logic 1 on the first trigger of MI, HMI, or the countdown timer.
The purpose of the flag is to allow the controlling system to interrogate what caused the
interrupt: timer or alarm. The flag can be read and cleared by command.
The status of the timer flag TF can affect the INT pulse generation depending on the
setting of TI_TP (see Section 7.6.2 “Register Timer_mode” on page 29):
• When TI_TP is set logic 1
– an INT pulse is generated independent of the status of the timer flag TF
– TF stays set until it is cleared
– TF does not affect INT

– the countdown timer runs in a repetitive loop and keeps generating timed periods
• When TI_TP is set logic 0
– the INT generation follows the TF flag
– TF stays set until it is cleared
– If TF is not cleared before the next coming interrupt, no INT is generated
– the countdown timer stops after the first countdown
7.2.2.4
COF[2:0]: Clock output frequency
A programmable square wave is available at pin CLKOUT. Operation is controlled by the
COF[2:0] bits in the register Control_2. Frequencies of 32.768 kHz (default) down to 1 Hz
can be generated for use as a system clock, microcontroller clock, input to a charge
pump, or for calibration of the oscillator.
Pin CLKOUT is a push-pull output and enabled at power-on. CLKOUT can be disabled by
setting COF[2:0] to 111. When disabled, the CLKOUT is LOW.
The duty cycle of the selected clock is not controlled. However, due to the nature of the
clock generation, all clock frequencies except 32.768 kHz have a duty cycle of 50 : 50.
The STOP bit function can also affect the CLKOUT signal, depending on the selected
frequency. When the STOP bit is set logic 1, the CLKOUT pin generates a continuous
LOW for those frequencies that can be stopped. For more details of the STOP bit function,
see Section 7.2.1.2.

The correction is made by adding or subtracting clock correction pulses, thereby changing
the period of a single second but not by changing the oscillator frequency.
It is possible to monitor when correction pulses are applied. To enable correction interrupt
generation, bit CIE (register Control_1) has to be set logic 1. At every correction cycle, a
pulse is generated on pin INT. The pulse width depends on the correction mode. If
multiple correction pulses are applied, an interrupt pulse is generated for each correction
pulse applied.

Correction when MODE = 1
The correction is triggered once every four minutes and then correction pulses are applied
once per second up to a maximum of 60 pulses. When correction values greater than 60
pulses are used, additional correction pulses are made in the 59th second.
Clock correction is made more frequently in MODE = 1; however, this can result in higher
power consumption.

Offset calibration workflow
The calibration offset has to be calculated based on the time. Figure 9 shows the workflow
how the offset register values can be calculated:
Measure the frequency on pin CLKOUT:
fmeas
sample calculation:
32768.48 Hz
Convert to time:
tmeas = 1 / fmeas
30.517131 μs
Calculate the difference to the ideal
period of 1 / 32768.00:
Dmeas = 1 / 32768 - tmeas
0.000447 μs
Calculate the ppm deviation compared
to the measured value:
Eppm = 1000000 × Dmeas / tmeas
14.648 ppm
Calculate the offset register value:
Mode = 0 (low power):
Offset value = Eppm / 4.34

OS: Oscillator stop
When the oscillator of the PCA85073A is stopped, the OS flag is set. The oscillator can be
stopped, for example, by connecting one of the oscillator pins OSCI or OSCO to ground.
The oscillator is considered to be stopped during the time between power-on and stable
crystal resonance. This time can be in the range of 200 ms to 2 s depending on crystal
type, temperature, and supply voltage.
The flag remains set until cleared by command (see Figure 11). If the flag cannot be
cleared, then the oscillator is not running. This method can be used to monitor the
oscillator and to determine if the supply voltage has reduced to the point where oscillation
fails.

Fig 12. Data flow for the time function
During read/write operations, the time counting circuits (memory locations 04h through
0Ah) are blocked.
The blocking prevents
• Faulty reading of the clock and calendar during a carry condition
• Incrementing the time registers during the read cycle
After this read/write access is completed, the time circuit is released again and any
pending request to increment the time counters that occurred during the read/write access
is serviced. A maximum of 1 request can be stored; therefore, all accesses must be
completed within 1 second (see Figure 13).

The I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules.
The two lines are a Serial DAta line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines must
be connected to a positive supply via a pull-up resistor. Data transfer may be initiated only
when the bus is not busy.
8.1 Bit transfer
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. The data on the SDA line must remain
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse, as changes in the data line at this time
are interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 16).

8.2 START and STOP conditions
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy.
A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the START
condition - S.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP
condition - P (see Figure 17).

8.3 System configuration
A device generating a message is a transmitter; a device receiving a message is a
receiver. The device that controls the message is the master; and the devices which are
controlled by the master are the slaves (see Figure 18).

8.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes transferred between the START and STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of 8 bits is followed by an acknowledge
cycle.
• A slave receiver, which is addressed, must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte
• Also a master receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each
byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter
• The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and hold times must be considered)
• A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the
transmitter must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP
condition
Acknowledgement on the I2C-bus is shown in Figure 19.

8.5.1 Addressing
One I2C-bus slave address (1010001) is reserved for the PCA85073A. The entire I2C-bus
slave address byte is shown in Table 38.

R/W
After a START condition, the I2C slave address has to be sent to the PCA85073A device.
The R/W bit defines the direction of the following single or multiple byte data transfer
(R/W = 0 for writing, R/W = 1 for reading). For the format and the timing of the START
condition (S), the STOP condition (P) and the acknowledge bit (A) refer to the I2C-bus
characteristics (see Ref. 12 “UM10204”). In the write mode, a data transfer is terminated
by sending either the STOP condition or the START condition of the next data transfer.
8.5.2 Clock and calendar READ or WRITE cycles
The I2C-bus configuration for the different PCA85073A READ and WRITE cycles is
shown in Figure 20 and Figure 21. The register address is a 5-bit value that defines which
register is to be accessed next. The upper 3 bits of the register address are not used.

8.5.3 I2C-bus error recovery technique
Slave devices like the PCA85073A use a state machine to implement the I2C protocol and
expect a certain sequence of events to occur to function properly. Unexpected events at
the I2C master can wreak havoc with the slaves connected on the bus. However, it is
usually possible to recover deterministically to a known bus state with careful protocol
manipulation.
A deterministic method to clear this situation if SDA is stuck LOW (it effectively blocks any
other I2C-bus transaction, once the master recognizes a ‘stuck bus’ state), is for the
master to blindly transmit nine clocks on SCL. If the slave was transmitting data or
acknowledging, nine or more clocks ensures the slave state machine returns to a known,
idle state since the protocol calls for eight data bits and one ACK bit. It does not matter
when the slave state machine finishes its transmission; extra clocks are recognized as
STOP conditions.
With careful design of the bus master error recovery firmware, many I2C-bus protocol
problems can be avoided.
S/W considerations: NXP recommends customers allow for S/W reset capability to enable
the bus error recovery technique. The 9-clock pulse method as described above involves
a bus-master capable of providing such a signal.
Further comments/additional information are available in Ref. 13 “UM10301” and Ref. 12
“UM10204”.

Remark: The PCA85073A part is not guaranteed (nor characterized) above the operating range as denoted in the datasheet. NXP
recommends not to bias the PCA85073A device during reflow (e.g. if utilizing a 'coin' type battery in the assembly). If customer so
chooses to continue to use this assembly method, there must be the allowance for a full `0 V' level Power supply `reset' to re-enable the
device. Without a proper POR, the device may remain in an indeterminate state.
[2]
According to the store and transport requirements (see Ref. 14 “UM10569”) the devices have to be stored at a temperature of +8 C to
+45 C and a humidity of 25 % to 75 %.

For reliable oscillator start-up at power-on use VDD greater than 1.2 V. If powered up at 0.9 V the oscillator will start but it might be a bit
slow, especially if at high temperature. Normally the power supply is not 0.9 V at start-up and only comes at the end of battery
discharge. VDD min of 0.9 V is specified so that the customer can calculate how large a battery or capacitor they need for their
application. VDD min of 1.2 V or greater is needed to ensure speedy oscillator start-up time. For a restart condition, NXP recommends a
full '0 V' VDD value upon re-biasing.

A detailed description of the I2C-bus specification is given in Ref. 12 “UM10204”.
[2]
I2C-bus access time between two STARTs or between a START and a STOP condition to this device must be less than one second.
[3]
A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (with respect to the VIH(min) of the SCL signal) to bridge
the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
[4]
The maximum tf for the SDA and SCL bus lines is specified at 300 ns. The maximum fall time for the SDA output stage tf is specified at
250 ns. This allows series protection resistors to be connected in between the SDA and the SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines
without exceeding the maximum specified tf.

A 1 farad super capacitor combined with a low VF diode can be used as a standby or back-up
supply. With the RTC in its minimum power configuration that is, timer off and CLKOUT off, the
RTC may operate for weeks.
(1) R1 limits the inrush current to the super capacitor at power-on.
(2) NXP recommends tying VDD of the device and VDD of all the external pull-up resistors to the same
Power Supply.
(3) NXP also recommends the customer place accessible 'Pads/TP-test point' on the layout so as to
enable a 'hard'' grounding of the power supply VDD in the event a full discharge cannot be attained.

18. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
18.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
18.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
18.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

18.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 31) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 42 and 43

times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach higher temperatures during reflow
soldering, see Figure 31.
