POWER CONTROL OPERATION
The power control circuit accepts a V
CC
and a V
BACK
input. The power control circuit powers the device from
V
BACK
when V
CC
< V
BACK
- 0.2V. It will switch back to
power the device from V
CC
when V
CC
exceeds V
BACK
.

REAL TIME CLOCK OPERATION
The Real Time Clock (RTC) uses an external
32.768kHz quartz crystal to maintain an accurate inter-
nal representation of the second, minute, hour, day,
date, month, and year. The RTC has leap-year correc-
tion. The clock also corrects for months having fewer
than 31 days and has a bit that controls 24 hour or
AM/PM format. When the X1227 powers up after the
loss of both V
CC
and V
BACK
, the clock will not operate
until at least one byte is written to the clock register.
Reading the Real Time Clock
The RTC is read by initiating a Read command and
specifying the address corresponding to the register of
the Real Time Clock. The RTC Registers can then be
read in a Sequential Read Mode. Since the clock runs
continuously and a read takes a finite amount of time,
there is the possibility that the clock could change during
the course of a read operation. In this device, the time is
latched by the read command (falling edge of the clock
on the ACK bit prior to RTC data output) into a separate
latch to avoid time changes during the read operation.
The clock continues to run. Alarms occurring during a
read are unaffected by the read operation.
Writing to the Real Time Clock
The time and date may be set by writing to the RTC
registers. To avoid changing the current time by an
uncompleted write operation, the current time value is
loaded into a separate buffer at the falling edge of the
clock on the ACK bit before the RTC data input bytes,
the clock continues to run. The new serial input data
replaces the values in the buffer. This new RTC value
is loaded back into the RTC Register by a stop bit at
the end of a valid write sequence. An invalid write
operation aborts the time update procedure and the
contents of the buffer are discarded. After a valid write
operation the RTC will reflect the newly loaded data
beginning with the next “one second” clock cycle after
the stop bit is written. The RTC continues to update
the time while an RTC register write is in progress and
the RTC continues to run during any nonvolatile write
sequences. A single byte may be written to the RTC
without affecting the other bytes.
Accuracy of the Real Time Clock
The accuracy of the Real Time Clock depends on the
frequency of the quartz crystal that is used as the time
base for the RTC. Since the resonant frequency of a
crystal is temperature dependent, the RTC perfor-
mance will also be dependent upon temperature. The
frequency deviation of the crystal is a fuction of the
turnover temperature of the crystal from the crystal’s
nominal frequency. For example, a >20ppm frequency
deviation translates into an accuracy of >1 minute per
month. These parameters are available from the
crystal manufacturer. Intersil’s RTC family provides
on-chip crystal compensation networks to adjust load-
capacitance to tune oscillator frequency from +116
ppm to -37 ppm when using a 12.5 pF load crystal. For
more detail information see the Application section.
CLOCK/CONTROL REGISTERS (CCR)
The Control/Clock Registers are located in an area
separate from the EEPROM array and are only
accessible following a slave byte of “1101111x” and
reads or writes to addresses [0000h:003Fh]. The
clock/control memory map has memory addresses
from 0000h to 003Fh. The defined addresses are
described in the Table 1. Writing to and reading from
the undefined addresses are not recommended.
CCR access
The contents of the CCR can be modified by perform-
ing a byte or a page write operation directly to any
address in the CCR. Prior to writing to the CCR
(except the status register), however, the WEL and
RWEL bits must be set using a two step process (See
section “Writing to the Clock/Control Registers.”)
The CCR is divided into 5 sections. These are:
1. Alarm 0 (8 bytes; non-volatile)
2. Alarm 1 (8 bytes; non-volatile)
3. Control (4 bytes; non-volatile)
4. Real Time Clock (8 bytes; volatile)
5. Status (1 byte; volatile)
Each register is read and written through buffers. The
non-volatile portion (or the counter portion of the RTC)
is updated only if RWEL is set and only after a valid
write operation and stop bit. A sequential read or page
write operation provides access to the contents of only
one section of the CCR per operation. Access to
another section requires a new operation. Continued

reads or writes, once reaching the end of a section, will
wrap around to the start of the section. A read or write
can begin at any address in the CCR.
It is not necessary to set the RWEL bit prior to writing
the status register. Section 5 supports a single byte
read or write only. Continued reads or writes from this
section terminates the operation.
The state of the CCR can be read by performing a ran-
dom read at any address in the CCR at any time. This
returns the contents of that register location. Additional
registers are read by performing a sequential read.
The read instruction latches all Clock registers into a
buffer, so an update of the clock does not change the
time being read. A sequential read of the CCR will not
result in the output of data from the memory array. At
the end of a read, the master supplies a stop condition
to end the operation and free the bus. After a read of
the CCR, the address remains at the previous address
+1 so the user can execute a current address read of
the CCR and continue reading the next Register.
ALARM REGISTERS
There are two alarm registers whose contents mimic the
contents of the RTC register, but add enable bits and
exclude the 24 hour time selection bit. The enable bits
specify which registers to use in the comparison between
the Alarm and Real Time Registers. For example:
Setting the Enable Month bit (EMOn*) bit in combi-
nation with other enable bits and a specific alarm
time, the user can establish an alarm that triggers at
the same time once a year.

FN8099.2
May 8, 2006
When there is a match, an alarm flag is set. The occur-
rence of an alarm can be determined by polling the
AL0 and AL1 bits or by enabling the IRQ
output, using
it as hardware flag.
The alarm enable bits are located in the MSB of the
particular register. When all enable bits are set to ‘0’,
there are no alarms.
The user can set the X1227 to alarm every Wednes-
day at 8:00 AM by setting the EDWn*, the EHRn*
and EMNn* enable bits to ‘1’ and setting the DWAn*,
HRAn* and MNAn* Alarm registers to 8:00 AM
Wednesday.
A daily alarm for 9:30PM results when the EHRn*
and EMNn* enable bits are set to ‘1’ and the HRAn*
and MNAn* registers are set to 9:30 PM.
*n = 0 for Alarm 0: N = 1 for Alarm 1
REAL TIME CLOCK REGISTERS
Clock/Calendar Registers (SC, MN, HR, DT, MO, YR)
These registers depict BCD representations of the
time. As such, SC (Seconds) and MN (Minutes) range
from 00 to 59, HR (Hour) is 1 to 12 with an AM or PM
indicator (H21 bit) or 0 to 23 (with MIL = 1), DT (Date)
is 1 to 31, MO (Month) is 1 to 12, YR (Year) is 0 to 99.
Date of the Week Register (DW)
This register provides a Day of the Week status and
uses three bits DY2 to DY0 to represent the seven
days of the week. The counter advances in the cycle
0-1-2-3-4-5-6-0-1-2-… The assignment of a numerical
value to a specific day of the week is arbitrary and may
be decided by the system software designer. The
default value is defined as ‘0’.
24 Hour Time
If the MIL bit of the HR register is 1, the RTC uses a
24-hour format. If the MIL bit is 0, the RTC uses a 12-
hour format and H21 bit functions as an AM/PM indi-
cator with a ‘1’ representing PM. The clock defaults to
standard time with H21 = 0.
Leap Years
Leap years add the day February 29 and are defined
as those years that are divisible by 4. Years divisible
by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also divisi-
ble by 400. This means that the year 2000 is a leap
year, the year 2100 is not. The X1227 does not correct
for the leap year in the year 2100.
STATUS REGISTER (SR)
The Status Register is located in the CCR Memory
Map at address 003Fh. This is a volatile register only
and is used to control the WEL and RWEL write
enable latches, read two power status and two alarm
bits. This register is separate from both the array and
the Clock/Control Registers (CCR).
Table 2. Status Register (SR)
BAT: Battery Supply—Volatile
This bit set to “1” indicates that the device is operating
from V
BACK
, not V
CC
. It is a read-only bit and is set/reset
by hardware (X1227 internally). Once the device begins
operating from V
CC
, the device sets this bit to “0”.
AL1, AL0: Alarm bits—Volatile
These bits announce if either alarm 0 or alarm 1 match
the real time clock. If there is a match, the respective
bit is set to ‘1’. The falling edge of the last data bit in a
SR Read operation resets the flags. Note: Only the AL
bits that are set when an SR read starts will be reset.
An alarm bit that is set by an alarm occurring during an
SR read operation will remain set after the read opera-
tion is complete.
RWEL: Register Write Enable Latch—Volatile
This bit is a volatile latch that powers up in the LOW
(disabled) state. The RWEL bit must be set to “1” prior
to any writes to the Clock/Control Registers. Writes to
RWEL bit do not cause a nonvolatile write cycle, so the
device is ready for the next operation immediately after
the stop condition. A write to the CCR requires both the
RWEL and WEL bits to be set in a specific sequence.
WEL: Write Enable Latch—Volatile
The WEL bit controls the access to the CCR and mem-
ory array during a write operation. This bit is a volatile
latch that powers up in the LOW (disabled) state. While
the WEL bit is LOW, writes to the CCR or any array
address will be ignored (no acknowledge will be issued
after the Data Byte). The WEL bit is set by writing a “1”
to the WEL bit and zeroes to the other bits of the Status
Register. Once set, WEL remains set until either reset
to 0 (by writing a “0” to the WEL bit and zeroes to the
other bits of the Status Register) or until the part powers
up again. Writes to WEL bit do not cause a nonvolatile
write cycle, so the device is ready for the next operation
immediately after the stop condition.
RTCF: Real Time Clock Fail Bit—Volatile
This bit is set to a “1” after a total power failure. This is
a read only bit that is set by hardware (X1227 inter-
nally) when the device powers up after having lost all
power to the device (both V
CC
and V
BACK
go to 0V).
