M IG 006 Description
M S 2 05 The FM3808 combines a 256Kb FRAM array with a
O E t. t 0 real-time clock and a system supervisor function. An
p n 4 external 32.768 kHz crystal drives the timekeeping
C D e e M function. It maintains time and date settings in the
S m F absence of system power through the use of a backup
E W : e + battery power source. Data in the memory array does
R y c 8 not depend on the backup source, it remains
E u pla 80 nonvolatile in FRAM. In addition to timekeeping, the
T B e 1 FM3808 includes a system supervisor to manage low
N e R M VDD power conditions and a watchdog timer function.
O t F A programmable interrupt output pin allows the user
R im c : to select the supervisor functions and the polarity of
N O T ire n the signal.
F st o D lutio Both the FRAM array and the timekeeping function
a o are accessed through the memory interface. The
L N S upper 16-address locations of the memory space are
te allocated to the timekeeping registers rather than to
memory. The FRAM array provides data retention
rna for 10 years in the absence of system power, and is
not dependent on the backup power source for the
lte clock. This eliminates system concerns over data loss
A in a traditional battery-backed RAM solution. In

DIP module development kit
Documentation for the DIP module development kit is
available separately.
addition, clock and supervisor control settings are
implemented in FRAM rather than battery-backed
RAM, making them more dependable. The FM3808
offers guaranteed operation over an industrial
temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
This is a product in sampling or pre-production phase of develop-
ment. Characteristic data and other specifications are subject to
