DS1501/DS1511 Y2KC Watchdog Real-Time Clocks
The interrupt flag bit (either TDF or KSF) associated with the attempted power-on sequence remains set until
cleared by software during a subsequent system power-on.
If V_CC is applied within the timeout period, the system power-on sequence continues, as shown in Intervals 2 to 5 in
the timing diagram. During Interval 2, PWR remains active, and IRQ is driven to its active-low level, indicating that
either TDF or KSF was set in initiating the power-on. In the diagram, KS is assumed to be pulled up to the V_BAUX
supply. Also at this time, the PAB bit is automatically cleared to 0 in response to a successful power-on. The PWR
line remains active as long as the PAB remains cleared to 0.
At the beginning of Interval 3, the system processor has begun code execution and clears the interrupt condition of
TDF and/or KSF by reading the flags register or by writing TDF and KSF to 0. As long as no other interrupt within
the DS1501/DS1511 is pending, the IRQ line is taken inactive once these bits are reset, and execution of the
application software can proceed. During this time, the wakeup and kickstart functions can be used to generate
status and interrupts. TDF is set in response to a day/date, hours, minutes, and seconds match condition. KSF is
set in response to a low-going transition on KS. If the associated interrupt-enable bit is set (TDE and/or KIE), then
the IRQ line is driven low in response to enabled event. In addition, the other possible interrupt sources within the
DS1501/DS1511 can cause IRQ to be driven low. While system power is applied, the on-chip logic always attempts
to drive the PWR pin active in response to the enabled kickstart or wakeup condition. This is true even if PWR was
previously inactive as the result of power being applied by some means other than wakeup or kickstart.
The system can be powered down under software control by setting the PAB bit to 1. The PAB bit can only be set
to 1 after the TDF and KSF flags have been cleared to 0. Setting PAB to 1 causes the open-drain PWR pin to be
placed in a high-impedance state, as shown at the beginning of Interval 4 in the timing diagram. As V_CC voltage
decays, the IRQ output pin is placed in a high-impedance state when V_CC goes below V_PF. If the system is to be
again powered on in response to a wakeup or kickstart, then both the TDF and KSF flags should be cleared, and
TPE and/or KIE should be enabled prior to setting the PAB bit.
During Interval 5, the system is fully powered down. Battery backup of the clock calendar and NV RAM is in effect
and IRQ is tri-stated, and monitoring of wakeup and kickstart takes place. If PRS = 1, PWR stays active; otherwise,
if PRS = 0, PWR is tri-stated.
SQUARE-WAVE OUTPUT
The square-wave output is enabled and disabled through the E32K bit. If the square wave is enabled (E32K = 0)
and the oscillator is running, then a 32.768kHz square wave is output on the SQW pin. If the battery-backup
32kHz-enable bit (BB32) is enabled, and voltage is applied to V_BAUX, then the 32.768kHz square wave is output on
the SQW pin in the absence of V_CC.
BATTERY MONITOR
The DS1501/DS1511 constantly monitor the battery voltage of the backup-battery sources (V_BAT and V_BAUX). The
battery low flags BLF1 and BLF2 are set to 1 if the battery voltages on V_BAT and V_BAUX are less than V_BLF (typical);
otherwise, BLF1 and BLF2 are 0. BLF1 monitors V_BAT and BLF2 monitors V_BAUX.
256 x 8 EXTENDED RAM
Two on-chip latch registers control access to the SRAM. One register is used to hold the SRAM address; the other
is used to hold read/write data. The SRAM address space is from 00h to FFh. The 8-bit address of the RAM
location to be accessed must be loaded into the extended RAM address register located at 10h. Data in the
addressed location can be read by performing a read operation from location 13h, or written to by performing a
write operation to location 13h. Data in any addressed location can be read or written repeatedly with changing the
address in location 10h.
To read or write consecutive extended RAM locations, a burst mode feature can be enabled to increment the
extended RAM address. To enable the burst mode feature, set the BME bit to 1. With burst mode enabled, write
the extended RAM starting address location to register 10h. Then read or write the extended RAM data from/to
register 13h. The extended RAM address locations are automatically incremented on the rising edge of OE, CE, or
