DESCRIPTION

The DS1747 is a full function, year 2000 compliant (Y2KC), realtime clock/calendar (RTC) and 512k
x 8 nonvolatile static RAM. User access to all registers within the DS1747 is accomplished with a
bytewide interface as shown in Figure 1. The Real-time clock (RTC) information and control bits reside
in the eight upper most RAM locations. The RTC registers contain century, year, month, date, day,
hours, minutes, and seconds data in 24-hour BCD format. Corrections for the date of each month and
leap year are made automatically. The RTC clock registers are double buffered to avoid access of
incorrect data that can occur during clock update cycles. The double buffered system also prevents time
loss as the timekeeping countdown continues unabated by access to time register data. The DS1747 also
contains its own powerfail circuitry which deselects the device when the V

supply is in an out of

tolerance condition. This feature prevents loss of data from unpredictable system operation brought on
by low V

as errant access and update cycles are avoided.

PACKAGES

The DS1747 is available in two packages (32pin DIP and 34pin PowerCap module). The 32pin DIP
style module integrates the crystal, lithium energy source, and silicon all in one package. The 34pin
PowerCap Module Board is designed with contacts for connection to a separate PowerCap
(DS9034PCX) that contains the crystal and battery. This design allows the Power-Cap to be mounted on
top of the DS1747P after the completion of the surface mount process. Mounting the PowerCap after the
surface mount process prevents damage to the crystal and battery due to the high temperatures required
for solder reflow. The PowerCap is keyed to prevent reverse insertion. The PowerCap Module Board
and PowerCap are ordered separately and shipped in separate containers. The part number for the
PowerCap is DS9034PCX.

CLOCK OPERATIONS-READING THE CLOCK

While the double buffered register structure reduces the chance of reading incorrect data, internal
updates to the DS1747 clock registers should be halted before clock data is read to prevent reading of
data in transition. However, halting the internal clock register updating process does not affect clock
accuracy. Updating is halted when a one is written into the read bit, bit 6 of the century register, see
Table 2. As long as a one remains in that position, updating is halted. After a halt is issued, the registers
reflect the count, that is day, date, and time that was current at the moment the halt command was
issued. However, the internal clock registers of the double buffered system continue to update so that the
clock accuracy is not affected by the access of data. All of the DS1747 registers are updated
simultaneously after the internal clock register updating process has been reenabled. Updating is within
a second after the read bit is written to zero. The READ bit must be set to a zero for a minimum of
500

ms to ensure the external registers will be updated.

SETTING THE CLOCK

As shown in Table 2, bit 7 of the century register is the write bit. Setting the write bit to a one, like the
read bit, halts updates to the DS1747 registers. The user can then load them with the correct day, date
and time data in 24 hour BCD format. Resetting the write bit to a zero then transfers those values to the
actual clock counters and allows normal operation to resume.

STOPPING AND STARTING THE CLOCK OSCILLATOR

The clock oscillator may be stopped at any time. To increase the shelf life, the oscillator can be turned
off to minimize current drain from the battery. The OSC bit is the MSB (bit 7) of the seconds registers,
see Table 2. Setting it to a one stops the oscillator.

FREQUENCY TEST BIT

As shown in Table 2, bit 6 of the day byte is the frequency test bit. When the frequency test bit is set to
logic "1" and the oscillator is running, the LSB of the seconds register will toggle at 512 Hz. When the
seconds register is being read, the DQ0 line will toggle at the 512 Hz frequency as long as conditions for
access remain valid (i.e., CE low, OE low, WE high, and address for seconds register remain valid
and stable).

CLOCK ACCURACY (DIP MODULE)

The DS1747 is guaranteed to keep time accuracy to within

±1 minute per month at 25°C. The RTC is

calibrated at the factory by Dallas Semiconductor using nonvolatile tuning elements, and does not
require additional calibration. For this reason, methods of field clock calibration are not available and
not necessary. Clock accuracy is also effected by the electrical environment and caution should be
taken to place the RTC in the lowest level EMI section of the PCB layout. For additional information
please see application note 58.

CLOCK ACCURACY (POWERCAP MODULE)

The DS1747 and DS9034PCX are each individually tested for accuracy. Once mounted together, the
module will typically keep time accuracy to within

±1.53 minutes per month (35 ppm) at 25°C. Clock

accuracy is also effected by the electrical environment and caution should be taken to place the RTC in
the lowest level EMI section of the PCB layout. For additional information please see application note
58.

RETRIEVING DATA FROM RAM OR CLOCK

The DS1747 is in the read mode whenever OE (output enable) is low, WE (write enable) is high, and

CE (chip enable) is low. The device architecture allows ripple-through access to any of the address

locations in the NV SRAM. Valid data will be available at the DQ pins within t

after the last address

input is stable, providing that the CE and OE access times and states are satisfied. If CE or OE access
times and states are not met, valid data will be available at the latter of chip enable access (t

CEA)

or at

output enable access time (t

OEA)

. The state of the data input/output pins (DQ) is controlled by CE and

OE . If the outputs are activated before t

AA,

the data lines are driven to an intermediate state until t

AA.

the address inputs are changed while CE and OE remain valid, output data will remain valid for output
data hold time (t

)

but will then go indeterminate until the next address access.

WRITING DATA TO RAM OR CLOCK

The DS1747 is in the write mode whenever WE , and CE are in their active state. The start of a write is
referenced to the latter occurring transition of WE or CE . The addresses must be held valid throughout
the cycle. CE or WE must return inactive for a minimum of t

prior to the initiation of another read or

write cycle. Data in must be valid t

prior to the end of write and remain valid for t

afterward. In a

typical application, the OE signal will be high during a write cycle. However, OE can be active
provided that care is taken with the data bus to avoid bus contention. If OE is low prior to WE
transitioning low the data bus can become active with read data defined by the address inputs. A low
transition on WE will then disable the output t

WEZ

after WE goes active.

DS1747/DS1747P

DATA RETENTION MODE

The 5-volt device is fully accessible and data can be written or read only when V

is greater than V

However, when V

is below the power failing point, V

(point at which write protection occurs) the

internal clock registers and SRAM are blocked from any access. At this time the power fail reset output
signal ( RST ) is driven active and will remain active until V

returns to nominal levels. When V

falls

below the battery switch point V

(battery supply level), device power is switched from the V

pin to

the backup battery. RTC operation and SRAM data are maintained from the battery until V

is returned

to nominal levels. The 3.3 volt device is fully accessible and data can be written or read only when V

is greater than V

When V

falls below the power fail point, V

access to the device is inhibited. At

this time the power fail reset output signal ( RST ) is driven active and will remain active until V

returns to nominal levels. If V

is less than V

, the device power is switched from V

to the backup

supply (V

BAT

) when V

drops below V

If V

is greater than Vso

the device power is switched from

to the backup supply (V

BAT

) when V

drops below Vso

RTC operation and SRAM data are

maintained from the battery until V

is returned to nominal levels. The RST signal is an open drain

output and requires a pull up. Except for the RST , all control, data, and address signals must be
powered down when V

is powered down.

BATTERY LONGEVITY

The DS1747 has a lithium power source that is designed to provide energy for clock activity, and clock
and RAM data retention when the V

supply is not present. The capability of this internal power supply

is sufficient to power the DS1747 continuously for the life of the equipment in which it is installed. For
specification purposes, the life expectancy is 10 years at 25

°C with the internal clock oscillator running

in the absence of V

power. Each DS1747 is shipped from Dallas Semiconductor with its lithium

energy source disconnected, guaranteeing full energy capacity. When V

is first applied at a level

greater than V

the lithium energy source is enabled for battery backup operation. Actual life

expectancy of the DS1747 will be much longer than 10 years since no lithium battery energy is
consumed when V

is present.

BATTERY MONITOR

The DS1747 constantly monitors the battery voltage of the internal battery. The Battery Flag bit (bit 7)
of the day register is used to indicate the voltage level range of the battery. This bit is not writable and
should always be a one when read. If a zero is ever present, an exhausted lithium energy source is
indicated and both the contents of the RTC and RAM are questionable.

techniques as long as temperatures as long as temperature exposure to the lithium energy source
contained within does not exceed +85

°C. Post solder cleaning with water washing techniques is

acceptable, provided that ultra-sonic vibration is not used.

In addition, for the PowerCap:
a. Dallas Semiconductor recommends that PowerCap Module bases experience one pass through solder

reflow oriented with the label side up ("live bug").

b. Hand Soldering and touchup: Do not touch or apply the soldering iron to leads for more than

3 (three) seconds. To solder, apply flux to the pad, heat the lead frame pad and apply solder. To
remove the part, apply flux, heat the lead frame pad until the solder reflows and use a solder wick to
