C bus
■ M41T00 compatible register set with counters
for seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month,
years, and century
– Automatic leap year compensation
– HT bit set when clock goes into backup
mode
■ RTC operates using 32,768 Hz quartz crystal
– Calibration register provides for
adjustments of –63 to +126 ppm
– Oscillator supports crystals with up to 40
kΩ series resistance, 12.5 pF load
capacitance
■ Oscillator fail detect circuit OF bit indicates
when oscillator has stopped for four or more
cycles
Audio section
■ Power amplifier
– Differential output amplifier
– Provides 300 mW into 8 Ω
(THD+N = 2% (max), f
in
= 1 kHz)
■ Summing node at audio input
– Inverting configuration with summing
resistors into the minus (-) terminal
– 0 dB gain with 10 kΩ feedback resistor and
20 kΩ input summing resistors
– Signal input centered at V

/2
– 1.6 V
P-P
analog input range (max)
■ 256 or 512 Hz signal multiplexing with analog
input to provide audio with beep tones
■ Volume control, 4-bit register
– Allows gain adjustment from –33 dB to
+12 dB
– 3 dB steps
–MUTE bit
■ Audio automatically shuts off in backup mode
