General Description
The DS3234 is a low-cost, extremely accurate SPI™ bus
real-time clock (RTC) with an integrated temperature-com-
pensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and crystal. The
DS3234 incorporates a precision, temperature-compen-
sated voltage reference and comparator circuit to monitor
V
CC
. When V
CC
drops below the power-fail voltage (V
PF
),
the device asserts the RST output and also disables read
and write access to the part when V
CC
drops below both
V
PF
and V
BAT
. The RST pin is monitored as a pushbutton
input for generating a µP reset. The device switches to the
backup supply input and maintains accurate timekeeping
when main power to the device is interrupted. The integra-
tion of the crystal resonator enhances the long-term accu-
racy of the device as well as reduces the piece-part count
in a manufacturing line. The DS3234 is available in com-
mercial and industrial temperature ranges, and is offered
in an industry-standard 300-mil, 20-pin SO package.
The DS3234 also integrates 256 bytes of battery-backed
SRAM. In the event of main power loss, the contents of
the memory are maintained by the power source con-
nected to the V
BAT
pin. The RTC maintains seconds,
minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information.
The date at the end of the month is automatically adjust-
ed for months with fewer than 31 days, including correc-
tions for leap year. The clock operates in either the
24-hour or 12-hour format with AM/PM indicator. Two
programmable time-of-day alarms and a programmable
square-wave output are provided. Address and data are
transferred serially by an SPI bidirectional bus.
