DS1216 SmartWatch RAM/SmartWatch ROM
comparison register and awaits the next write cycle. If a match is not found, the pointer does not advance
and all subsequent write cycles are ignored. If a read cycle occurs at any time during pattern recognition,
the present sequence is aborted and the comparison register pointer is reset. Pattern recognition continues
for 64 write cycles as described above until all the bits in the comparison register have been matched (this
bit pattern is shown in Figure 1). With a correct match for 64 bits, the SmartWatch is enabled and data
transfer to or from the timekeeping registers can proceed. The next 64 cycles will cause the SmartWatch
to either receive or transmit data on DQ0, depending on the level of the OE pin or the WE pin. Cycles to
other locations outside the memory block can be interleaved with CE cycles without interrupting the
pattern recognition sequence or data transfer sequence to the SmartWatch.
PATTERN MATCH—ROM
Communication with the SmartWatch is established by pattern recognition of a serial bit stream of 64 bits
that must be matched by executing 64 consecutive write cycles, placing address bit A2 low with the
proper data on address bit A0. The 64 write cycles are used only to gain access to the SmartWatch. Prior
to executing the first of 64 write cycles, a read cycle should be executed by holding A2 high. The read
cycle will reset the comparison register pointer within the SmartWatch, ensuring the pattern recognition
starts with the first bit of the sequence. When the first write cycle is executed, it is compared to bit 0 of
the 64-bit comparison register. If a match is found, the pointer increments to the next location of the
comparison register and awaits the next write cycle. If a match is not found, the pointer does not advance
and all subsequent write cycles are ignored. If a read cycle occurs at any time during pattern recognition,
the present sequence is aborted and the comparison register pointer is reset. Pattern recognition continues
for a total of 64 write cycles as described above, until all the bits in the comparison register have been
matched (this bit pattern is shown in Figure 1). With a correct match for 64 bits, the SmartWatch is
enabled and data transfer to or from the timekeeping registers can proceed. The next 64 cycles will cause
the SmartWatch to either receive data on data in (A0) or transmit data on data out (DQ0), depending on
the level of /WRITE READ (A2).
After power-up, the controller could be in the 64-bit clock register read/write sequence (from an
incomplete access prior to power-down). Therefore, it is recommended that a 64-bit read be performed
upon power-up to prevent accidental writes to the clock, and to prevent reading clock data when access to
the RAM would otherwise be expected.
