FREQUENCY OUT CONTROL BITS (FO <3:0>)
These bits enable/disable the frequency output function and
select the output frequency at the IRQ/fOUT pin. See
Table 4 for frequency selection. When the frequency mode is
enabled, it will override the alarm mode at the IRQ
/fOUT pin.
FREQUENCY OUTPUT AND INTERRUPT BIT (FOBATB)
This bit enables/disables the fOUT/IRQ
pin during battery
backup mode (i.e. V
BAT
power source active). When the
FOBATB is set to “1” the fOUT/IRQ
pin is disabled during
battery backup mode. This means that both the frequency
output and alarm output functions are disabled. When the
FOBATB is cleared to “0”, the fOUT/IRQ
pin is enabled
during battery backup mode.
LOW POWER MODE BIT (LPMODE)
This bit enables/disables low power mode. With
LPMODE = “0”, the device will be in normal mode and the
V
BAT
supply will be used when V
DD
< V
BAT
- V
BATHYS
and
V
DD
< V
TRIP
. With LPMODE = “1”, the device will be in low
power mode and the V
BAT
supply will be used when
V
DD
< V
BAT
-V
BATHYS
. There is a supply current saving of
about 600nA when using LPMODE = “1” with V
DD
= 5V.
(See Typical Performance Curves on page 7: I
DD
vs V
CC
with LPMODE ON and OFF.) Avoid setting the device into
low power mode with V
DD
< V
BAT
, the I2C communications
will stop permanently. The V
BAT
input must be lowered
below V
DD
to resume communications.
ALARM ENABLE BIT (ALME)
This bit enables/disables the alarm function. When the ALME
bit is set to “1”, the alarm function is enabled. When the ALME
is cleared to “0”, the alarm function is disabled. The alarm
function can operate in either a single event alarm or a periodic
interrupt alarm (see IM bit).
NOTE: When the frequency output mode is enabled, the alarm function
is disabled.
INTERRUPT/ALARM MODE BIT (IM)
This bit enables/disables the interrupt mode of the alarm
function. When the IM bit is set to “1”, the alarm will operate
in the interrupt mode, where an active low pulse width of
250ms will appear at the IRQ
/fOUT pin when the RTC is
triggered by the alarm as defined by the alarm registers (0Ch
to 11h). When the IM bit is cleared to “0”, the alarm will
operate in standard mode, where the IRQ
/fOUT pin will be
tied low until the ALM status bit is cleared to “0”.
Analog Trimming Register
ANALOG TRIMMING REGISTER (ATR<5:0>)
Six analog trimming bits, ATR0 to ATR5, are provided in
order to adjust the on-chip load capacitance value for
frequency compensation of the RTC. Each bit has a different
weight for capacitance adjustment. For example, using a
Citizen CFS-206 crystal with different ATR bit combinations
provides an estimated ppm adjustment range from -34ppm
to +80ppm to the nominal frequency compensation. The
combination of analog and digital trimming can give up to
-94ppm to +140ppm of total adjustment.
The effective on-chip series load capacitance, C
LOAD
,
ranges from 4.5pF to 20.25pF with a mid-scale value of
12.5pF (default). C
LOAD
is changed via two digitally
controlled capacitors, C
X1
and C
X2
, connected from the X1
and X2 pins to ground (see Figure 11). The value of C
X1
and
C
X2
are given in Equation 1:

The effective series load capacitance is the combination of
C
X1
and C
X2
in Equation 2.:
For example, C
LOAD
(ATR = 00000) = 12.5pF, C
LOAD
(ATR =
100000) = 4.5pF, and C
LOAD
(ATR = 011111) = 20.25pF. The
entire range for the series combination of load capacitance
goes from 4.5pF to 20.25pF in 0.25pF steps. Note that these
are typical values.
BATTERY MODE ATR SELECTION (BMATR <1:0>)
Since the accuracy of the crystal oscillator is dependent on
the V
DD
/V
BAT
operation, the ISL1208 provides the capability
to adjust the capacitance between V
DD
and V
BAT
when the
device switches between power sources.
DIGITAL TRIMMING REGISTER (DTR <2:0>)
The digital trimming bits DTR0, DTR1, and DTR2 adjust the
average 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 both scale bits. DTR1 gives 40ppm
adjustment and DTR0 gives 20ppm adjustment.
A range from -60ppm to +60ppm can be represented by
using these three bits (see Table 5).
Alarm Registers
Addresses [0Ch to 11h]
The alarm register bytes are set up identical to the RTC
register bytes, except that the MSB of each byte functions as
an enable bit (enable = “1”). These enable bits specify which
alarm registers (seconds, minutes, etc.) are used to make
the comparison. Note that there is no alarm byte for year.
The alarm function works as a comparison between the
alarm registers and the RTC registers. As the RTC
advances, the alarm will be triggered once a match occurs
between the alarm registers and the RTC registers. Any one
alarm register, multiple registers, or all registers can be
enabled for a match.
There are two alarm operation modes: Single Event and
periodic Interrupt Mode:
Single Event Mode is enabled by setting the ALME bit to
“1”, the IM bit to “0”, and disabling the frequency output.
This mode permits a one-time
match between the alarm
registers and the RTC registers. Once this match occurs,
the ALM bit is set to “1” and the IRQ
output will be pulled
low and will remain low until the ALM bit is reset. This can
be done manually or by using the auto-reset feature.
Interrupt Mode is enabled by setting the ALME bit to “1”,
the IM bit to “1”, and disabling the frequency output. The
IRQ
output will now be pulsed each time an alarm occurs.
This means that once the interrupt mode alarm is set, it
will continue to alarm for each occurring match of the
alarm and present time. This mode is convenient for
hourly or daily hardware interrupts in microcontroller
applications such as security cameras or utility meter
reading.
To clear an alarm, the ALM bit in the status register must be
set to “0” with a write. Note that if the ARST bit is set to 1
(address 07h, bit 7), the ALM bit will automatically be cleared
when the status register is read.

Below are examples of both Single Event and periodic
Interrupt Mode alarms.
Example 1 – Alarm set with single interrupt (IM=”0”)
A single alarm will occur on January 1 at 11:30am.
A. Set Alarm registers as follows:
B. Also the ALME bit must be set as follows:
xx indicate other control bits
After these registers are set, an alarm will be generated when
the RTC advances to exactly 11:30am on January 1 (after
seconds changes from 59 to 00) by setting the ALM bit in the
status register to “1” and also bringing the IRQ
output low.
Example 2 – Pulsed interrupt once per minute (IM=”1”)
Interrupts at one minute intervals when the seconds register
is at 30 seconds.
A. Set Alarm registers as follows:
B. Set the Interrupt register as follows:
xx indicate other control bits
Once the registers are set, the following waveform will be
seen at IRQ-:
Note that the status register ALM bit will be set each time the
alarm is triggered, but does not need to be read or cleared.
User Registers
Addresses [12h to 13h]
These registers are 2 bytes of battery-backed user memory
storage.
I
2
C Serial Interface
The ISL1208 supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol.
The protocol defines any device that sends data onto the
bus as a transmitter and the receiving device as the receiver.
The device controlling the transfer is the master and the
device being controlled is the slave. The master always
initiates data transfers and provides the clock for both
transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the ISL1208
operates as a slave device in all applications.
All communication over the I
2
C interface is conducted by
sending the MSB of each byte of data first.
Protocol Conventions
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL
LOW periods. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating START and STOP conditions (See
Figure 12). On power-up of the ISL1208, the SDA pin is in
the input mode.
All I
2
C interface operations must begin with a START
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH. The ISL1208 continuously monitors the SDA
and SCL lines for the START condition and does not
respond to any command until this condition is met (See
Figure 12). A START condition is ignored during the
power-up sequence.
All I
2
C interface operations must be terminated by a STOP
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH (See Figure 12). A STOP condition at the end
of a read operation or at the end of a write operation to
memory only places the device in its standby mode.
An acknowledge (ACK) is a software convention used to
indicate a successful data transfer. The transmitting device,
either master or slave, releases the SDA bus after
transmitting eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the
