Unused Bits:
This device does not use bits 3 or 4 in the SR, but must
have a zero in these bit positions. The Data Byte output
during a SR read will contain zeros in these bit locations.
INTERRUPT CONTROL REGISTER (INT)
Interrupt Control and Status Bits (IM, AL1E, AL0E)
There are two Interrupt Control bits, Alarm 1 Interrupt
Enable (AL1E) and Alarm 0 Interrupt Enable (AL0E) to
specifically enable or disable the alarm interrupt signal
output (IRQ
). The interrupts are enabled when either the
AL1E and AL0E bits are set to “1”, respectively.
Two volatile bits (AL1 and AL0), associated with the
two alarms respectively, indicate if an alarm has hap-
pened. These bits are set on an alarm condition
regardless of whether the IRQ interrupt is enabled.
The AL1 and AL0 bits in the status register are reset
by the falling edge of the eighth clock of a read of the
register containing the bits.
Pulse Interrupt Mode
The pulsed interrupt mode allows for repetitive or
recurring alarm functionality. Hence an repetitive or
recurring alarm can be set for every n
th
second, or n
th
minute, or n
th
hour, or n
th
date, or for the same day of
the week. The pulsed interrupt mode can be consid-
ered a repetitive interrupt mode, with the repetition
rate set by the time setting fo the alarm.
The Pulse Interrupt Mode is enabled when the IM bit
is set.
The Alarm IRQ
output will output a single pulse of
short duration (approximately 10-40ms) once the
alarm condition is met. If the interrupt mode bit (IM bit)
is set, then this pulse will be periodic.
ON-CHIP OSCILLATOR COMPENSATION
Digital Trimming Register (DTR) - DTR2, DTR1 and
DTR0 (Non-Volatile)
The digital trimming Bits DTR2, DTR1 and DTR0
adjust the number of counts per second and average
the ppm error to achieve better accuracy.
DTR2 is a sign bit. DTR2 = 0 means frequency
compensation is > 0. DTR2 = 1 means frequency
compensation is < 0.
DTR1 and DTR0 are scale bits. DTR1 gives 10 ppm
adjustment and DTR0 gives 20 ppm adjustment.
A range from -30ppm to +30ppm can be represented
by using three bits above.
Table 3. Digital Trimming Registers
Analog Trimming Register (ATR) (Non-volatile)
Six analog trimming Bits from ATR5 to ATR0 are pro-
vided to adjust the on-chip loading capacitance range.
The on-chip load capacitance ranges from 3.25pF to
18.75pF. Each bit has a different weight for capaci-
tance adjustment. In addition, using a Citizen CFS-206
crystal with different ATR bit combinations provides an
estimated ppm range from +116ppm to -37ppm to the
nominal frequency compensation. The combination of
digital and analog trimming can give up to +146ppm
adjustment.
The on-chip capacitance can be calculated as follows:
C
ATR
= [(ATR value, decimal) x 0.25pF] + 11.0pF
Note that the ATR values are in two’s complement,
with ATR(000000) = 11.0pF, so the entire range runs
from 3.25pF to 18.75pF in 0.25pF steps.
The values calculated above are typical, and total
load capacitance seen by the crystal will include
approximately 2pF of package and board capaci-
tance in addition to the ATR value.
See Application section and Intersil’s Application Note
AN154 for more information.
WRITING TO THE CLOCK/CONTROL REGISTERS
Changing any of the nonvolatile bits of the clock/con-
trol register requires the following steps:
– Write a 02h to the Status Register to set the Write
Enable Latch (WEL). This is a volatile operation, so
there is no delay after the write. (Operation pre-
ceeded by a start and ended with a stop).
– Write a 06h to the Status Register to set both the
Register Write Enable Latch (RWEL) and the WEL
bit. This is also a volatile cycle. The zeros in the data
