Connect to VDD if not used.
See Table 6 and Table 46.
The die paddle (exposed pad) is connected to VSS through high ohmic (non-conductive) silicon attach and should be electrically isolated. It is good
engineering practice to solder the exposed pad to an electrically isolated PCB copper pad as shown in Figure 46 for better heat transfer but it is not
required as the RTC doesn’t consume much power. In no case should traces be run under the package exposed pad.
See Table 6 and Table 48.
7 Functional description
The PCF85263A contains 8-bit registers for time information, for timestamp information and registers for
system configuration. Included is 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
2
calender, and an I C-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. After register
2Fh, the auto-incrementing will wrap around to address 00h (see Figure 7).

Tiny RTC/calendar with alarm function, battery switch-over, time stamp input, and I C-bus
The 100th seconds, 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 read, the
contents of all time counters are frozen. Therefore, faulty reading of the clock and calendar during a carry
condition is prevented.
7.1 Registers organization overview
7.1.1 Time mode registers
The PCF85263A has two time mode register sets, one for the real-time clock mode and one for the stopwatch
clock mode. The access to these registers can be switched by the RTCM bit in the Function control register
(28h), see Table 6 and Table 53.

The 100th_seconds register is only available when the 100TH mode is enabled, see Section 7.13.1. When the 100TH mode is disabled, this register
always returns 0.
Hour mode is set by the 12_24 bit in the Oscillator register, see Section 7.10.
If the year counter contains a value, which is exactly divisible by 4, the PCF85263A compensates for leap years by adding a 29th day to February.
7.2.1 Definition of BCD
The Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) is an encoding of numbers where each digit is represented by a separate
bit field. Each bit field may only contain the values 0 to 9. In this way, decimal numbers and counting is
implemented.

7.2.2 OS: Oscillator stop
When the oscillator of the PCF85263A is stopped, the OS status bit 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 status bit remains set until cleared by command (see Figure 10). If the bit 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.
OS = 1 and bit can not be cleared

7.2.3 EMON: event monitor
The EMON can be used to monitor the status of all the flags in the Flags register, see Section 7.14. When one
or more of the flags is set, then the EMON bit returns a logic 1. The EMON bit cannot be cleared. EMON returns
a logic 0 when all flags are cleared.
See Figure 23 for a pictorial representation.

Figure 11. Data flow for the time function
During read operations, the time counting circuits (memory locations 00h through 07h) are copied into an output
register. The RTC continues counting in the background.
When reading or writing the time it is very important to make a read or write access in one go, that is, setting
or reading 100th seconds through to years should be made in one single access. Failing to comply with this
method could result in the time becoming corrupted.
As an example, if the time (seconds through to hours) is set in one access and then in a second access the
date is set, it is possible that the time increments between the two accesses. A similar problem exists when
reading. A roll-over may occur between reads thus giving the minutes from one moment and the hours from the
next.
Before setting the time, the STOP bit should be set and the prescalers should be cleared (see Section 7.16).
An example of setting the time: 14 hours, 23 minutes and 19 seconds.

7.3.1 Setting and reading the time in stop-watch mode
Figure 12 shows the data flow and data dependencies starting from the 100 Hz clock tick.
During read operations, the time counting circuits (memory locations 00h through 07h) are copied into an output
register. The RTC continues counting in the background.
When reading or writing the time it is very important to make a read or write access in one go, that is, setting or
reading 100th_seconds through to HR_00_xx_xx should be made in one single access. Failing to comply with
this method could result in the time becoming corrupted.
As an example, if the seconds value is set in one access and then in a following access the minutes value is
set, it is possible that the time increments between the two accesses. A similar problem exists when reading. A
roll-over may occur between reads thus giving the seconds from one moment and the minutes from the next.

7.4 Alarms
There are two independent alarms. Each is separately configured and may be used to generate an interrupt.
In RTC mode, an alarm is configured for time and date. In stop-watch mode when the RTC is functioning as an
elapsed time counter, an alarm is configured for time only.
7.4.1 Alarms in RTC mode
In RTC mode, Alarm 1 can be configured from seconds to months. Alarm 2 operates on minutes, hours and
weekday. Each segment of the time is independently enabled. Alarms can be output on the INTA and INTB pins.

7.4.1.3 Alarm1 and alarm2 function in RTC mode
The registers at addresses 08h through 0Ch contain alarm1 information. When one or more of these registers
is loaded with second, minute, hour, day, or month, and its corresponding alarm enable bit (SEC_A1E to
MON_A1E) is set logic 1, then that information is compared with the current second, minute, hour, day, and
month.
The registers at addresses 0Dh through 0Fh contain alarm2 information. When one or more of these registers
is loaded with minute, hour or weekday, and its corresponding alarm enable bit (MIN_A2E to WDAY_A2E) is set
logic 1, then that information is compared with the current minute, hour and weekday.
Alarm registers which have their alarm enable bit at logic 0 are ignored.
When the time increments to match the enabled alarms, the alarm flag in the Flags register (Section 7.14) is
set. A1F for alarm1 and A2F for alarm2. The alarm flag is cleared by command.
When the time increments to match the enabled alarms, an interrupt can be generated. See Section 7.4.3.

7.4.3 Alarm interrupts
The generation of interrupts from the alarm functions is controlled via the alarm interrupt enable bits; A1IEA,
A1IEB, A2IEA, A2IEB. These bits are in registers INTA_enable (address 29h) and INTB_enable (address 2Ah).
The assertion of flags A1F or A2F can be used to generate an interrupt at the pins INTA and INTB. The
interrupt may be generated as a pulse signal every time the time increments to match the alarm setting or as

a permanently active signal which follows the condition of bit A1F and/or A2F. See Section 7.9 for interrupt
control.
A1F and A2F remain set until cleared by command. Once an alarm flag has been cleared, it will only be set
again when the time increments to match the alarm condition once more.
When an interrupt pin is configured to pulse mode and if an alarm flag is not cleared and the time increments to
match the alarm condition again, then a repeated interrupt pulse will be generated.

Remark: Note that all timings are generated from the 32.768 kHz oscillator and are based on the assumption
that there is 0 ppm deviation. Deviation in oscillator frequency results in deviation in timings. This is not
applicable to interface timing.
The WatchDog counts down from a software-loaded 5-bit binary value, WDR[4:0], in register WatchDog.
Loading the counter with 0 stops the WatchDog. Loading the counter with a non-0 value starts the counter.
Values from 1 to 31 are allowed.

In this example, it is assumed that the WatchDog flag (WDF) is cleared before the next WatchDog period expires and that
the interrupt output is set to pulsed mode.
Figure 15. WatchDog repeat mode
If a new value of WDR[4:0] is written before the end of the current WatchDog period, then this value takes
immediate effect.
When starting the timer for the first time or when reloading WDR[4:0] before the end of the current period, the
first period has an uncertainty of maximum one count. The uncertainty is a result of loading the WDR[4:0] from
the interface clock which is asynchronous from the WatchDog source clock. Subsequent WatchDog periods do
not have such variation.
Reading the WatchDog register returns the current value of the WatchDog counter (see Figure 15) and not
the initial value WDR[4:0]. Since it is not possible to freeze the WatchDog counter during read back, it is
recommended to read the register twice and check for consistent results.
7.5.1.1 WatchDog repeat mode
In repeat mode, at the end of every WatchDog period, the WatchDog flag (bit WDF in the Flags register,
Section 7.14) is set and the counter automatically reloads and starts the next WatchDog period. An example is
given in Figure 15. The asserted bit WDF can be used to generate an interrupt. Bit WDF can only be cleared by
command.
7.5.1.2 WatchDog single shot mode
In single shot mode, at the end of the countdown period, the WatchDog flag (bit WDF in the Flags register,
Section 7.14) is set and the counter stops with the value 0. The WatchDog register must be reloaded to start
another WatchDog period.

The generation of interrupts from the WatchDog functions is controlled via the WatchDog interrupt enable bits;
WDIEA and WDIEB. These bits are in registers INTA_enable (address 29h) and INTB_enable (address 2Ah).
The assertion of the flag WDF can be used to generate an interrupt at pins INTA and INTB. The interrupt may
be generated as a pulsed signal every time the WatchDog counter reaches the end of the countdown period.
Alternatively as a permanently active signal which follows the condition of bit WDF. WDF remains set until
cleared by command.
When enabled, interrupts are triggered every time the WatchDog counter reaches the end of the countdown
period and even if the WDF is not cleared, an interrupt pulse can be generated.

7.7 Timestamps
There are three timestamp registers which can be independently configured to record the time for battery
switch-over events and/or transitions on the TS pin.
Each timestamp register has an associated flag. It is also possible to generate an interrupt signal for every
timestamp register update.
Timestamps work in both RTC and stop-watch mode. During battery operation, the mechanical switch detector
may also be used to trigger the timestamp.

First event means that the time is only stored on the first event and not recorded for subsequent events. When
the first event occurs, the associated timestamp flag is set. When the flag is cleared, then a new ‘first’ event is
recorded. See Figure 18 and Figure 19.
Last event means that the time is stored on every event. When an event occurs, the associated timestamp flag
is set. It is not necessary to clear the flag before a new event is recorded.
Interrupts can be generated in INTA pin and/or INTB pin. Interrupts are generated every time a timestamp
register is updated. Interrupt generation is not conditional on the state of the timestamp flags. See Section 7.7.1.

7.7.1 Timestamps interrupts
The generation of interrupts from the timestamp functions is controlled via the timestamp interrupt enable bits;
TSRIEA and TSRIEB. These bits are in registers INTA_enable (address 29h) and INTB_enable (address 2Ah).
The loading of new information into one of the timestamp registers can be used to generate an interrupt at pins
INTA and INTB. The interrupt may be generated as a pulsed signal every time a timestamp register updates or
as a permanently active signal which follows the condition of timestamp flags, TSR1F to TSR3F. The timestamp
flags remain set until cleared by command.
When enabled, interrupts are triggered every time a timestamp register updates and even if the associated flag
is not cleared, an interrupt pulse can be generated.
See Section 7.9 for interrupt control.
7.8 Offset register
The PCF85263A incorporates an offset register (address 24h) which can be used to implement several
functions, such as:
• Accuracy tuning
• Aging adjustment
• Temperature compensation
Table 22. Offset - offset register (address 24h) bit description

Description

offset value
There are two modes which define the correction period, normal mode and fast mode. The normal mode
is suitable for offset trimming. The fast mode is suitable for dynamic offset correction e.g. implementing a
temperature correction. The fast mode consumes more current. Offset mode is defined by bit OFFM in the
Oscillator register (Section 7.10).

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. See Section 7.8.4.

7.8.4 Offset interrupts
The generation of interrupts from the offset functions is controlled via the offset interrupt enable bits; OIEA and
OIEB. These bits are in registers INTA_enable (address 29h) and INTB_enable (address 2Ah).
Every time a correction pulse is made an interrupt pulse can be generated at pins INTA and INTB. As there is
no offset calibration flag, it is only possible to generate pulse interrupts.
See Section 7.9 for interrupt control.
7.9 Interrupts
There are two interrupt output pins, INTA and INTB. Both pins have the same possible sources and a dedicated
register to control what is output. The pins can be used independently from each other.
INTA data is output on the INTA pin. INTA is an interrupt output pin with open-drain drive. INTA pin mode is
controlled by INTAPM[1:0] bits in the Pin_IO register (Section 7.12).
INTB data is output on TS pin with push-pull drive. The TS pin must first be configured as INTB output by
setting TSIO[1:0] bits in the Pin_IO register (Section 7.12).
Interrupts will only be output when the pin mode is correctly defined. Interrupts are output from the IC as active
LOW signals.
The registers INTA_enable (address 29h) and INTB_enable (address 2Ah) are used to select which interrupts
should be output on which pin.

7.9.1 ILPA/ILPB: interrupt level or pulse mode
Interrupts can be configured to generate a pulse or to send a continuous level (permanent signal) which follows
the state of the flag.
In pulse mode, an interrupt pulse is generated every time that the selected source triggers.
Triggered means
•
•
•
•
•
•
for periodic interrupts, every time a period has elapsed
for offset correction, every time a correction pulse is initiated
for alarms, every time the time increments to match the alarm time
for timestamps, every time a register updates
for battery switch, every time the IC switches to or from battery
for WatchDog, every time the counter reaches the end of its count
The interrupt signal goes active coincident with the triggering event. The signal is cleared by an internal 128
Hz clock. The internal clock is asynchronous to the triggering event and so the pulse duration has a minimum
period of one 128 Hz cycle and a maximum of two 128 Hz cycles. Interrupt pulses may be shortened by clearing
the flag before the end of the pulse period.

The EMON is used only for monitoring all flags and can be read back in the minutes register. See Section 7.2.3.

The clock selected with the COF[2:0] bits (register Function, address 28h) can be inverted. This is intended for
use in conjunction with the low jitter mode, LOWJ. The low jitter mode reduces the jitter for the rising edge of the
output clock. If the reduced jitter needs to be on the falling edge, for example when using an open-drain clock
output, then the CLKIV bit can be used to implement this.

Oscillator circuits suffer from jitter. In particular, ultra low-power oscillators like the one used in the PCF85263A
are optimized for power and not jitter. By setting the LOWJ bit, the jitter performance can be improved at the
cost of power consumption.

The oscillator is designed to be used with quartz with a series resistance up to 100 kΩ. This covers the typical
range of 32.768 kHz quartz crystals. Series resistance is also referred to as: ESR, motional resistance, or RS.
A low drive mode is available for low series resistance quartz. This reduces the current consumption.
For very high series resistance quartz, there is a high drive mode. Current consumption increases substantially
in this mode.

CL refers to the load capacitance of the oscillator circuit and allows for a certain amount of package and PCB
parasitic capacitance. When the oscillator circuit matches the CL parameter of the quartz, then the frequency
offset is zero.
The PCF85263A is designed to operate with quartz with CL values of 6.0 pF, 7.0 pF and 12.5 pF.
12.5 pF are generally the cheapest and most widely available, but also require the most power to drive. The
circuit also operates with 9.0 pF quartz, however the offset calibration would be needed to compensate. If a 9.0
pF quartz is used, then it is recommended to set CL to 7.0 pF.

Associated with the battery switch-over is the battery switch flag (BSF) in the Flags register (Section 7.14).
Whenever the IC switches to battery operation, the flag is set. The flag can only be read when operating from
VDD power, however an interrupt pulse or static LOW signal can be generated whenever switching to battery. An
interrupt pulse can also be generated when switching back to VDD power. Examples are given in Figure 25 and
Figure 26.

When switched to battery, the VDD power domain is disabled. This means that I C pins are ignored, CLK output
is disabled and Hi-Z, TS pin output mode is disabled and Hi-Z, TS digital input is ignored and may be left
floating. TS pin mechanical switch detector is active. INTA output is still active for interrupt output and battery
switch indication, but disabled for clock output.

• Compare VDD with an internal reference (Vth) and VBAT
The last mode is useful when a rechargeable battery is employed.

7.11.5 Battery switch interrupts
The generation of interrupts from the battery switch function is controlled via the battery switch interrupt enable
bits; BSIEA and BSIEB. These bits are in registers INTA_enable (address 29h) and INTB_enable (address
2Ah).
The assertion of the flag BSF (register Flags, address 2Bh) can be used to generate an interrupt at pins INTA
and INTB. The interrupt may be generated as a pulsed signal or alternatively as a permanently active signal
which follows the condition of bit BSF. BSF remains set until cleared by command.
When enabled, interrupts are triggered every time the battery switch circuit switches to either battery or to VDD
and even if the BSF is not cleared, an interrupt pulse can be generated.
In addition, the INTA pin can be configured as a battery mode indicator (INTAPM[1:0] = 00). See Section 7.12.6.
This mode differs from a general interrupt signal in that it is only controlled by the current battery switch status.
See Section 7.9 for interrupt control.
Remark: INTB pin is only active when the IC is operating from VDD.

Setting the CLKPM bit disables the CLK output and force the pin to drive out a logic 0. Clearing this bit enables
the pad to output the selected clock frequency (see bits COF[2:0] in the Function register, see Table 50).

Controls the pull-up resistor value used in the mechanical switch detector. For applications where there is a
large capacitance on the TS pin e.g. from a long connecting cable to the mechanical switch, the pull-up resistor
value can be halved to improve switch detection.
Using the low-resistance value increases current consumption when the switch is closed i.e. shorting to VSS.

Tiny RTC/calendar with alarm function, battery switch-over, time stamp input, and I C-bus
input is referenced to the internal power supply. This mode operates when on VDD or VBAT. The pull-up resistor
value can be controlled by TSPULL bit in the Pin_IO register (see Section 7.12).
7.12.5.1 TS pin input mode
There are two input types which are controlled by the TSIM bit. The TS input can be used to generate a
timestamp event by configuring the timestamp mode bits; TSR2M[2:0] and TSR1M[1:0] bits in TSR_mode
register (see Table 19).
Also it is possible to use the TS pin to control counting of time. This is typically for use with the stop-watch mode
where an elapsed time counter function can be implemented. Using the STOPM bit in the Function register (see
Table 50) it is possible to control the STOP bit by the TS pin.

7.12.6.1 INTAPM[1:0]: INTA
The primary function of the INTA pin is to output INTA data. INTA data is controlled by the bits of the
INTA_enable register (see Table 28).
The output is active LOW with an open-drain output. The output is available during VDD and VBAT operation.
7.12.6.2 INTAPM[1:0]: clock data
It is possible to output a clock frequency on the INTA pin. Clock frequency is selected with the COF[2:0] bits in
the Function register (Section 7.13). The output is active LOW with an open-drain output. The output is available
only during VDD operation. The output is Hi-Z when operating from VBAT.
Remark: Clock output is the default state. To save power, it is recommended to disable the clock when not
being used. If no clock is required, then set COF[2:0] in the Function register (Section 7.13) to CLK disabled. If
clock output is only required on the CLK pin, then set the INTA pin to either INTA data or battery mode.

The PCF85263A can be configured to count at a resolution of 1 second or 0.01 seconds. In 100th mode, the
100th_seconds register becomes available and the RTC counts at a resolution of 0.01 seconds.
The 256 Hz clock signal is divided by 3 for fourteen 100 Hz periods and then by 2 for eleven 100 Hz periods.
This produces an effective division ratio of 2.56 with a maximum jitter of 3.91 ms. Over twenty-five 100 Hz
cycles the jitter is 0 ns.

When disabled, the timers are reset. When enabled, the time to the first pulse is between the chosen period and
the chosen period minus 1 seconds.
The timers are not affected by STOP.
When the periodic interrupt triggers, the PIF (PI flag) in the Flags register (Section 7.14) is set.
The flag does not have to be cleared to allow another INTA or INTB pulse.
The duration of the periodic interrupt is unaffected by offset calibration.

A programmable square wave is available at pin CLK. Operation is controlled by the COF[2:0] bits. 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 CLK is a push-pull output and enabled at power-on. Pin CLK can be disabled by setting CLKPM = 1 in the
Pin_IO register (Section 7.12). When disabled, the CLK pin is LOW.
The selected clock frequency may also be output on the TS pin and the INTA pin. The CLKIV bit may be used to
invert the clock output. CLKIV does not invert for the setting COF[2:0] = 111.
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.

Duty cycle definition: % HIGH-level time : % LOW-level time.
Default values. The duty cycle of the CLKOUT when outputting 32,768 Hz could change from 60:40 to 40:60 depending on the detector since the 32,768
Hz is derived from the oscillator output which is not perfect. It could change from device to device and it depends on the silicon diffusion. There is nothing
that can be done from outside the chip to influence the duty cycle.
1 Hz clock pulses are not affected by offset correction pulses.

The flags are set by their respective function. A full description can be found there. All flags behave the same
way. They are set by some function of the IC and remain set until overwritten by command. It is possible to clear
flags individually. To prevent one flag being overwritten while clearing another, a logic AND is performed during
a write access. All flags are combined to generate an event monitoring signal called EMON. EMON is described

7.15.2 CPR: clear prescaler
To set the time for RTC mode accurately or to clear the time in stop-watch mode, the clear prescaler instruction
is needed.
Before sending this instruction, it is recommended to first set stop either by the STOP bit or by the TS pin (see
STOPM bit).
See STOP definition for an explanation on using this instruction.
7.15.3 CTS: clear timestamp
The timestamp registers (address 11h to 22h) can be set to all 0 with this instruction.

The STOP bit stops the time from counting in both RTC mode and stop-watch mode. For RTC mode STOP is
useful to set the time accurately. For stop-watch mode it is the start/stop control for the watch.
The counter can also be controlled from the TS pin by configuring STOPM in the Function register
(Section 7.13). The internal stop signal is a combination of STOP and the TS pin state.

1. stop is a combination of STOP register bit and the TS pin when programmed for stop control.
Figure 32. CPR and STOP bit functional diagram
The stop signal blocks the 8.192 kHz clock from generating system clocks and freezes the time. In this state,
the prescaler can be cleared with the CPR command in the Resets register (Section 7.15).
Remark: The output of clock frequencies is not affected.
The time circuits can then be set and do not increment until the STOP bit is released.
2
The stop acts on the 8.192 kHz signal. And because the I C-bus or TS pin input is asynchronous to the crystal
oscillator, the accuracy of restarting the time circuits is between zero and one 8.192 kHz cycle (see Figure 33).

8 I C-bus interface
2
The I C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs. 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. Both data and clock lines remain HIGH
when the bus is not busy. The PCF85263A acts as a target receiver when being written to and as a target
transmitter when being read from.
Remark: When on VBAT power, the interface is not accessible.

Figure 35. I C read and write signaling
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 STOP or START
conditions.
8.2 START and STOP conditions
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 35).
8.3 Acknowledge
Each byte of 8 bits is followed by an acknowledge cycle. An acknowledge is defined as logic 0. A notacknowledge is defined as logic 1.
When written to, the target will generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. After the
acknowledge, another byte may be transmitted. It is also possible to send a STOP or START condition.
When read from, the controller receiver must generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte. When
the controller receiver no longer requires bytes to be transmitter, it must generate a not-acknowledge. After the
not-acknowledge, either a STOP or START condition must be sent.
2
A detailed description of the I C-bus specification is given in [8].
9 Interface protocol
2
The PCF85263A uses the I C interface for data transfer. Interpretation of the data is determined by the interface
protocol.

9.1 Write protocol
2
After the I C target address is transmitted, the PCF85263A requires that the register address pointer is defined.
It can take the value 00h to 2Fh. Values outside of that range will result in the transfer being ignored, however
the target will still respond with acknowledge pulses.
After the register address is transmitted, write data is transmitted. The minimum number of data write bytes is 0
and the maximum number is unlimited. After each write, the address pointer increments by one. After address
2Fh, the address pointer will roll over to 00h.

10 Application design-in information
In this application, stop-watch mode is used to implement an elapsed time counter. The TS pin is used with
a mechanical switch to start and stop the time. Each time the time is stopped, timestamp2 is loaded with the
current time and an interrupt is generated on the INTA pin.

The RTC must be configured correctly for this mode of operation. Outlined in Table 65 are the settings needed
for this mode.
In addition, the time must be set and any other configurations like battery switch-over, quartz oscillator driving
mode, etc., which are dependent on the application.

The sampler circuit shown in Figure 36 will hold invalid data until the mechanical switch detector mode
is enabled. It then requires a minimum of one sample period to initialize to the current TS pin level. It is
recommended to enable the mechanical detector mode on the TS pin at least 62.5 ms before enabling the TS
event mode. Failure to do so can result in a false first event.

• At and before t1, SW1 is open (TS pin floating). The TS pin is sampled and the internal pull-up resistor will pull
the pin HIGH to vdd_int. No actions are taken by the IC.
• At t2, SW1 is still open. No action is taken by the IC.
• At t3, SW1 closes. The TS pin is now shorted to VSS. The TS pin has not been sampled yet, so no action is
taken by the IC.
• At t4, SW1 is closed. The internal pull-up resistor is enabled, but TS pin remains LOW. The pin is then
sampled and the LOW level detected. As the TSL bit was set for active LOW detection, the HIGH-LOW
transition of TS pin sampled triggers an event.
STOPM mode was configured to allow the TS pin to stop the time counting. As the TSL bit was set for active
LOW, time counting stops when the TS pin is LOW.

Timestamp register 2 was configured to take a copy of the time on an event of the TS pin, hence TSR2 loads
the time t4. TSR2F is also set.
INTA was configured to generate an interrupt when TSR2 loads a new time, hence an interrupt pulse is seen
on INTA.
• At t5, SW1 is opened. No action is taken by the IC.
• At t6, SW1 is open. The internal pull-up is active and the TS pin raises to vdd_int level. The HIGH level is
sampled and causes the stop signal to be released and time starts counting again.

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.
400 kHz I2C operation is production tested at 1.8 V. Design methodology allows I2C operation at 1.8 V - 5 % (1.71 V) which has been verified during
product characterization on a limited number of devices.
Measured after reset and CLK disabled, level of inputs is VDD or VSS.

A detailed description of the I C-bus specification is given in [8].
2
I C-bus access time between two STARTs or between a START and a STOP condition to this device must be less than one second.
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.
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.

18 Handling information
All input and output pins are protected against ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) under normal handling. When
handling Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) devices ensure that all normal precautions are taken as described
in JESD625-A, IEC 61340-5 or equivalent standards.
19 Packing information
For tape and reel packing information, please see [4], [5], [6], and [7] in Section 24.
20 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”.
20.1 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.
20.2 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

• 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
20.4 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 51) 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 69 and Table 70
