ISL12023
IRQ (Interrupt Output)
This pin provides an interrupt signal output. This signal
notifies a host processor that an alarm has occurred and
requests action. It is an open drain active low output. Once
triggered, the output will stay low until the Alarm status
register bit is reset or, if the auto reset function is used, a
read is performed to the status register.
F_OUT (Frequency Output)
This pin provides a clock signal which is related to the crystal
frequency. The output frequency is user selectable and
enabled via the I²C bus. It is an open drain output.
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock all serial data into and out of
the device. The input buffer on this pin is always active (not
gated). It is disabled when the backup power supply on the
V_BAT pin is activated to minimize power consumption.
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is a bi-directional pin used to transfer data into and out
of the device. It has an open drain output and may be ORed
with other open drain or open collector outputs. The input
buffer is always active (not gated) in normal mode.
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 I²C interface speeds. It is disabled
when the backup power supply on the V_BAT pin is activated.
V_DD, GND
Chip power supply and ground pins. The device will operate
with a power supply from V_DD = 2.7V to 5.5VDC. A 0.1µF
capacitor is recommended on the V_DD pin to ground.
LVRST (Low Voltage Reset)
This pin provides an interrupt signal output. This signal
notifies a host processor that the V_DD level has dropped
below the pre-programmed level, normally 85% of nominal
V_DD. The brownout trip level is programmable via a control
register. It is an open drain active low output.
Functional Description
Power Control Operation
The power control circuit accepts a V_DD and a V_BAT input.
Many types of batteries can be used with Intersil RTC
products. For example, 3.0V or 3.6V Lithium batteries are
appropriate, and battery sizes are available that can power
the ISL12023 for up to 10 years. Another option is to use a
super capacitor for applications where V_DD is interrupted for
up to a month. See the “Application Section” on page 24 for
more information.
Normal Mode (V_DD) to Battery-Backup Mode
(V_BAT)
To transition from the V_DD to V_BAT mode, both of the
following conditions must be met:
Condition 1:
V_DD < V_BAT - V_BATHYS
where V_BATHYS ≈ 50mV
Condition 2:
V_DD < V_TRIP
where V_TRIP ≈ 2.2V
Battery-Backup Mode (V_BAT) to Normal Mode
(V_DD)
The ISL12023 device will switch from the V_BAT to V_DD mode
when one of the following conditions occurs:
Condition 1:
V_DD > V_BAT + V_BATHYS
where V_BATHYS ≈ 50mV

These power control situations are illustrated in Figures 11
and 12.
The I²C bus is deactivated in battery-backup mode to reduce
power consumption. Aside from this, all RTC functions are
operational during battery-backup mode. Except for SCL and
SDA, all the inputs and outputs of the ISL12023 are active
during battery-backup mode unless disabled via the control
register.
