General Description
The CMOS bq4285E/L is a low-power
microprocessor peripheral providing a
time-of-day clock and 100-year calen-
dar with alarm features and battery
operation. Other features include
three maskable interrupt sources,
square wave output, and 114 bytes of
general nonvolatile storage.
A 32.768kHz output is available for
sustaining power-management activi-
ties. Wake-up capability is provided by
an alarm interrupt, which is active in
battery-backup mode.
The bq4285E/L write-protects the
clock, calendar, and storage registers
during power failure. A backup bat-
tery then maintains data and oper-
ates the clock and calendar.
The bq4285E/L is a fully compatible
real-time clock for IBM AT-
compatible computers and other ap-
plications. The only external compo-
nents are a 32.768kHz crystal and a
backup battery.
The bq4285E/L integrates a
battery-backup controller to make a

battery.
Pin Descriptions
AD0–AD7Multiplexed address/data input/
output
The bq4285E/L bus cycle consists of two
phases: the address phase and the data-
transfer phase. The address phase precedes
the data-transfer phase. During the ad-
dress phase, an address placed on AD0–AD7
is latched into the bq4285E/L on the falling
edge of the AS signal. During the data-
transfer phase of the bus cycle, the AD0–AD7
pins serve as a bidirectional data bus.
MOT Bus type select input (PLCC package
only)
MOT selects bus timing for either Motorola
or Intel architecture. This pin should be
tied to VCC for Motorola timing or to VSS for
Intel timing (see Table 1).
The setting should not be changed during
system operation. MOT is internally pulled
low by a 20Kresistor. For the DIP and
SOIC packages, this pin is internally con-
nected to VSS, enabling the bus timing for
the Intel architecture.
CS Chip select input
CS should be driven low and held stable
during the data-transfer phase of a bus cy-
cle accessing the bq4285E/L.

bq4285E/L
AS Address strobe input
AS serves to demultiplex the address/data
bus. The falling edge of AS latches the ad-
dress on AD0–AD7. This demultiplexing pro-
cess is independent of the CS signal. For DIP,
SOIC, and PLCC packages with MOT = VCC,
the AS input is provided a signal similar to
ALE in an Intel-based system.
DS Data strobe input
For DIP, SOIC, and PLCC packages with
MOT=V
SS, the DS input is provided a sig-
nal similar to RD, MEMR, or I/OR in an
Intel-based system. The falling edge on DS
is used to enable the outputs during a read
cycle.
For the PLCC package, when MOT = VCC,
DS controls data transfer during a
bq4285E/L bus cycle. During a read cycle,
the bq4285E/L drives the bus after the ris-
ing edge on DS. During a write cycle, the
falling edge on DS is used to latch write
data into the chip.
R/W Read/write input
For DIP, SOIC, and PLCC packages with
MOT=V
SS, R/W is provided a signal simi-
lar to WR, MEMW, or I/OW in an Intel-
based system. The rising edge on R/W
latches data into the bq4285E/L.
For the PLCC package, when MOT = VCC,
the level on R/W identifies the direction of
data transfer. A high level on R/W indicates
a read bus cycle, whereas a low on this pin
indicates a write bus cycle.
INT Interrupt request output
INT is an open-drain output. This allows
INT to be valid in battery-backup mode for
the alarm interrupt. To use this feature,
INT must be connected to a power supply
other than VCC. INT is asserted low when
any event flag is set and the corresponding
event enable bit is also set. INT becomes
high-impedance whenever register C is read
(see the Control/Status Registers section).
RST Reset input
The bq4285E/L is reset when RST is pulled
low. When reset, INT becomes high-
impedance, and the bq4285E/L is not accessi-
ble. Table 4 in the Control/Status Registers
section lists the register bits that are cleared
by a reset.
Reset may be disabled by connecting RST to
VCC. This allows the control bits to retain their
states through power-down/power-up cycles.
SQW Square-wave output
SQW may output a programmable fre-
quency square-wave signal during normal
(VCC valid) system operation. Any one of
the 13 specific frequencies may be selected
through register A. This pin is held low
when the square-wave enable bit (SQWE)
in register B is 0 (see the Control/Status
Registers section).
A 32.768kHz output is enabled by setting
the SQWE bit in register B to 1 and the
32KE bit in register C to 1 after setting
OSC2–OSC0 in register A to 011 (binary).
BC 3V backup cell input
BC should be connected to a 3V backup cell
for RTC operation and storage register non-
volatility in the absence of power. When VCC
slews down past VBC (3V typical), the inte-
gral control circuitry switches the power
source to BC. When VCC returns above VBC,
the power source is switched to VCC.
Upon power-up, a voltage within the VBC
range must be present on the BC pin for
the oscillator to start up.
X1–X2 Crystal inputs
The X1–X2 inputs are provided for an ex-
ternal 32.768Khz quartz crystal, Daiwa
DT-26 or equivalent, with 6pF load capaci-
tance. A trimming capacitor may be neces-
sary for extremely precise time-base gen-
eration.
CEIN External RAM chip enable input,
active low
CEIN should be driven low to enable the
controlled external RAM. CEIN is internally
pulled up with a 50Kresistor.
CEOUT External RAM chip enable output,
active low
When power is valid, CEOUT reflects CEIN.
VOUT Supply output
VOUT provides the higher of VCC or VBC,
switched internally, to supply external RAM.
VCC Positive power supply
VSS Ground

bq4285E/L
Functional Description
Address Map
The bq4285E/L provides 14 bytes of clock and con-
trol/status registers and 114 bytes of general nonvolatile
storage. Figure 1 illustrates the address map for the
bq4285L.
Update Period
The update period for the bq4285E/L is one second. The
bq4285E/L updates the contents of the clock and calen-
dar locations during the update cycle at the end of each
update period (see Figure 2). The alarm flag bit may
also be set during the update cycle.
The bq4285E/L copies the local register updates into the
user buffer accessed by the host processor. Whena1is
written to the update transfer inhibit bit (UTI) in regis-
ter B, the user copy of the clock and calendar bytes re-
mains unchanged, while the local copy of the same bytes
continues to be updated every second.
The update-in-progress bit (UIP) in register A is set
tBUC time before the beginning of an update cycle (see
Figure 2). This bit is cleared and the update-complete
flag (UF) is set at the end of the update cycle.

bq4285E/L
Programming the RTC
The time-of-day, alarm, and calendar bytes can be written
in either the BCD or binary format (see Table 2).
These steps may be followed to program the time, alarm,
and calendar:
1. Modify the contents of register B:
a. Write a 1 to the UTI bit to prevent trans-
fers between RTC bytes and user buffer.
b. Write the appropriate value to the data for-
mat (DF) bit to select BCD or binary format
for all time, alarm, and calendar bytes.
c. Write the appropriate value to the hour
format (HF) bit.
2. Write new values to all the time, alarm, and
calendar locations.
3. Clear the UTI bit to allow update transfers.
On the next update cycle, the RTC updates all 10 bytes
in the selected format.
Square-Wave Output
The bq4285E/L divides the 32.768kHz oscillator fre-
quency to produce the 1 Hz update frequency for the
clock and calendar. Thirteen taps from the frequency di-
vider are fed to a 16:1 multiplexer circuit. The output of
this mux is fed to the SQW output and periodic inter-
rupt generation circuitry. The four least-significant bits
of register A, RS0–RS3, select among the 13 taps (see
Table 3). The square-wave output is enabled by writing
a 1 to the square-wave enable bit (SQWE) in register B.
A 32.768kHz output may be selected by setting
OSC2–OSC0 in register A to 011 while SQWE=1and
32KE = 1.

Table 2. Time, Alarm, and Calendar Formats
Interrupts
The bq4285E/L allows three individually selected inter-
rupt events to generate an interrupt request. These
three interrupt events are:
nThe periodic interrupt, programmable to occur once
every 122 µs to 500 ms.
nThe alarm interrupt, programmable to occur once per
second to once per day, is active in battery-backup
mode, providing a “wake-up” feature.
nThe update-ended interrupt, which occurs at the end
of each update cycle.
Each of the three interrupt events is enabled by an indi-
vidual interrupt-enable bit in register B. When an event
occurs, its event flag bit in register C is set. If the corre-
sponding event enable bit is also set, then an interrupt
request is generated. The interrupt request flag bit
(INTF) of register C is set with every interrupt request.
Reading register C clears all flag bits, including INTF,
and makes INT high-impedance.
Two methods can be used to process bq4285E/L inter-
rupt events:
nEnable interrupt events and use the interrupt request
output to invoke an interrupt service routine.
nDo not enable the interrupts and use a polling routine
to periodically check the status of the flag bits.
The individual interrupt sources are described in detail
in the following sections.
Periodic Interrupt
The mux output used to drive the SQW output also
drives the interrupt-generation circuitry. If the periodic
interrupt event is enabled by writinga1totheperiodic
interrupt enable bit (PIE) in register C, an interrupt re-
quest is generated once every 122µs to 500ms. The pe-
riod between interrupts is selected by the same bits in
register A that select the square wave frequency (see Ta-
ble 3). Setting OSC2–OSC0 in register A to 011 does
not affect the periodic interrupt timing.

bq4285E/L
Alarm Interrupt
The alarm interrupt request is valid in battery-backup
mode, providing a “wake-up” capability. During each up-
date cycle, the RTC compares the hours, minutes, and
seconds bytes with the three corresponding alarm bytes.
If a match of all bytes is found, the alarm interrupt
event flag bit, AF in register C, is set to 1. If the alarm
event is enabled, an interrupt request is generated.
An alarm byte may be removed from the comparison by
setting it to a “don’t care” state. An alarm byte is set to a
“don’t care” state by writinga1toeachofitstwomost-
significant bits. A “don’t care” state may be used to select
the frequency of alarm interrupt events as follows:
nIf none of the three alarm bytes is “don’t care,” the
frequency is once per day, when hours, minutes, and
seconds match.
nIf only the hour alarm byte is “don’t care,” the
frequency is once per hour, when minutes and
seconds match.
nIf only the hour and minute alarm bytes are “don’t care,”
the frequency is once per minute, when seconds match.
nIf the hour, minute, and second alarm bytes are
“don’t care,” the frequency is once per second.
Update Cycle Interrupt
The update cycle ended flag bit (UF) in register C is set to
a 1 at the end of an update cycle. If the update interrupt
enable bit (UIE) of register B is 1, and the update transfer
inhibit bit (UTI) in register B is 0, then an interrupt re-
quest is generated at the end of each update cycle.
Accessing RTC bytes
Time and calendar bytes read during an update cycle
may be in error. Three methods to access the time and
calendar bytes without ambiguity are:
nEnable the update interrupt event to generate
interrupt requests at the end of the update cycle.
The interrupt handler has a maximum of 999ms to
access the clock bytes before the next update cycle
begins (see Figure 3).
nPoll the update-in-progress bit (UIP) in register A. If
UIP = 0, the polling routine has a minimum of tBUC
time to access the clock bytes (see Figure 3).
nUse the periodic interrupt event to generate
interrupt requests every tPI time, such that UIP = 1
always occurs between the periodic interrupts. The
interrupt handler will have a minimum of tPI/2 +
tBUC time to access the clock bytes (see Figure 3).
Oscillator Control
When power is first applied to the bq4285E/L and VCC is
above VPFD, the internal oscillator and frequency divider
are turned on by writing a 010 pattern to bits 4 through 6
of register A. A pattern of 011 behaves as 010 but addi-
tionally transforms register C into a read/write register.
This allows the 32.768kHz output on the square wave pin
to be turned on. A pattern of 11X turns the oscillator on,
but keeps the frequency divider disabled. Any other pat-
tern to these bits keeps the oscillator off.

bq4285E/L

Power-Down/Power-Up Cycle
The bq4285E/L power-up/power-down cycles are differ-
ent. The bq4285L continuously monitors VCC for out-of-
tolerance. During a power failure, when VCC falls below
VPFD (2.53V typical), the bq4285L write-protects the clock
and storage registers. The power source is switched to BC
when VCC is less than VPFD and BC is greater than VPFD,
or when VCC is less than VBC and VBC is less than VPFD.
RTC operation and storage data are sustained by a valid
backup energy source. When VCC is above VPFD, the power
source is VCC. Write-protection continues for tCSR time af-
ter VCC rises above VPFD.
The bq4285E continuously monitors VCC for out-of-
tolerance. During a power failure, when VCC falls below
VPFD (4.17V typical), the bq4285E write-protects the clock
and storage registers. When VCC is below VBC (3V typical),
the power source is switched to BC. RTC operation and
storage data are sustained by a valid backup energy source.
When VCC is above VBC, the power source is VCC. Write-
protection continues for tCSR time after VCC rises above
VPFD.
An external CMOS static RAM is battery-backed using
the VOUT and chip enable output pins from the
bq4285E/L. As the voltage input VCC slows down during
a power failure, the chip enable output, CEOUT, is forced
inactive independent of the chip enable input CEIN.
This activity unconditionally write-protects the external
SRAM as VCC falls below VPFD. If a memory access is in
process to the external SRAM during power-fail detec-
tion, that memory cycle continues to completion before
the memory is write-protected. If the memory cycle is
not terminated within time tWPT (30µs maximum), the
chip enable output is unconditionally driven high,
write-protecting the controlled SRAM.
As the supply continues to fall past VPFD, an internal
switching device forces VOUT to the external backup energy
source. CEOUT is held high by the VOUT energy source.
During power-up, VOUT is switched back to the main
supply as VCC rises above the backup cell input voltage
sourcing VOUT
.IfV
PFD <V
BC on the bq4285L, the
switch to the main supply occurs at VPFD.CE
OUT is held
inactive for time tCER (200ms maximum) after the power
supply has reached VPFD, independent of the CEIN in-
put, to allow for processor stabilization.
During power-valid operation, the CEIN input is passed
through to the CEOUT output with a propagation delay
of less than 10ns.
Figure 4 shows the hardware hookup for the external RAM.
A primary backup energy source input is provided on
the bq4285E/L. The BC input accepts a 3V primary bat-
tery, typically some type of lithium chemistry. To pre-
vent battery drain when there is no valid data to retain,
VOUT and CEOUT are internally isolated from BC by the
initial connection of a battery. Following the first appli-
cation of VCC above VPFD, this isolation is broken, and
the backup cell provides power to VOUT and CEOUT for
the external SRAM.

Control/Status Registers
The four control/status registers of the bq4285E/L are
accessible regardless of the status of the update cycle
(see Table 4).
Register A
Register A programs:
nThe frequency of the square-wave and the periodic
event rate.
nOscillator operation.
Register A provides:
nStatus of the update cycle.
RS0–RS3 - Frequency Select
These bits select one of the 13 frequencies for the SQW out-
put and the periodic interrupt rate, as shown in Table 3.
OS0–OS2 - Oscillator Control
These three bits control the state of the oscillator and di-
vider stages. A pattern of 010 enables RTC operation by
turning on the oscillator and enabling the frequency di-
vider. A pattern of 011 behaves as 010 but additionally
transforms register C into a read/write register. This al-
lows the 32.768kHz output on the square wave pin to be
turned on. A pattern of 11X turns the oscillator on, but
keeps the frequency divider disabled. When 010 is writ-
ten, the RTC begins its first update after 500ms.
UIP - Update Cycle Status
This read-only bit is set prior to the update cycle. When
UIP equals 1, an RTC update cycle may be in progress.
UIP is cleared at the end of each update cycle. This bit
is also cleared when the update transfer inhibit (UTI)
bit in register B is 1.
Register B
Register B enables:
nUpdate cycle transfer operation
nSquare-wave output
nInterrupt events
nDaylight saving adjustment
Register B selects:
nClock and calendar data formats
All bits of register B are read/write.

This bit may be set to a 1 only when the OSC2–OSC0
bits in register A are set to 011. Setting OSC2–OSC0 to
anything other than 011 clears this bit. If SQWE in reg-
ister B and 32KE are set, a 32.768KHz waveform is out-
put on the square wave pin.
UF - Update-Event Flag
This bit is set toa1attheendoftheupdate cycle.
Reading register C clears this bit.
AF - Alarm Event Flag
This bit is set to a 1 when an alarm event occurs. Read-
ing register C clears this bit.
PF - Periodic Event Flag
This bit is set to a 1 every tPI time, where tPI is the time
period selected by the settings of RS0–RS3 in register A.
Reading register C clears this bit.
INTF - Interrupt Request Flag
This flag is set to a 1 when any of the following is true:
AIE = 1 and AF = 1
PIE = 1 and PF = 1
UIE = 1 and UF = 1
Reading register C clears this bit.
Register D
Register D is the read-only data integrity status register.
Bits 0–6 - Unused Bits
These bits are always set to 0.
VRT - Valid RAM and Time
1 = Valid backup energy source
0 = Backup energy source is depleted
When the backup energy source is depleted (VRT = 0),
data integrity of the RTC and storage registers is not
guaranteed.
