General Description
The DS1343/DS1344 low-current real-time clocks (RTCs)
are timekeeping devices that provide an extremely low
standby current, permitting longer life from a backup
supply source. The devices also support high-ESR
crystals, broadening the pool of usable crystals for the
devices. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes,
hours, day, date, month, and year information. The date
at the end of the month is automatically adjusted for
months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections
for leap year. The clock operates in either 24-hour or
12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator.
Address and data are transferred serially through an
SPI or 3-wire interface. Two programmable time-of-day
alarms are provided. Each alarm can generate an inter-
rupt on a combination of seconds, minutes, hours, and
day. Don’t-care states can be inserted into one or more
fields if it is desired for them to be ignored for the alarm
condition. The time-of-day alarms can be programmed
to assert two different interrupt outputs, or they can be
combined to assert one common interrupt output. Both
interrupt outputs operate when the device is powered by
either VCC or VBAT.
The devices are available in a lead-free/RoHS-compliant,
20-pin TSSOP or 14-pin TDFN package, and support a
-40°C to +85°C extended industrial temperature range.

Detailed Description
The DS1343/DS1344 low-current real-time clocks (RTCs)
are timekeeping devices that consume an extremely low
timekeeping current and also support high-ESR crystals,
broadening the pool of usable crystals for the device.
The devices provide a full binary-coded decimal (BCD)
clock calendar that is accessed by a simple serial inter-
face. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes,
hours, day, date, month, and year information. The date
at the end of the month is automatically adjusted for
months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections
for leap year through 2099. The clock operates in either
a 24-hour or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator. In
addition, 96 bytes of NV RAM are provided for data stor-
age. The devices maintain the time and date, provided
that the oscillator is enabled, as long as at least one sup-
ply is at a valid level.
Both devices provide two programmable time-of-day
alarms. Each alarm can generate an interrupt on a pro-
grammable combination of seconds, minutes, hours, and
day. Don’t-care states can be inserted into one or more
fields if it is desired for them to be ignored for the alarm
condition. The time-of day alarms can be programmed
to assert two different interrupt outputs or to assert one
common interrupt output. Both interrupt outputs operate
when the device is powered by VCC or VBAT.
The devices support a direct interface to SPI serial-data
ports or standard 3-wire interface. A straight-forward
address and data format is implemented in which data
transfers can occur one byte at a time or in multiple-byte
burst mode.
The devices have a built-in temperature-compensated
power-sense circuit that detects power failures and
automatically switches to the backup supply. The VBAT
pin can be configured to provide trickle charging of a
rechargeable voltage source, with selectable charging
resistance and diode-voltage drops.
I/O and Power-Switching Operation
The devices operate as slave devices on a 3-wire or SPI
serial bus. Access is obtained by selecting the part by
the CE pin and clocking data into/out of the part using
the SCLK and SDI/SDO pins. Multiple byte transfers
are supported within one CE high period; see the Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI) section for more information.
The devices are fully accessible and data can be writ-
ten and read when VCC is greater than VPF. However,
when VCC falls below VPF, the internal clock registers
are blocked from any access, and the device power is
switched from VCC to VBAT.
If VPF is less than the voltage on the backup supply, the
device power is switched from VCC to the backup sup-
ply when VCC drops below VPF. If VPF is greater than the
backup supply, the device power is switched from VCC
to the backup supply when VCC drops below the backup
supply. The registers are maintained from the backup
supply source until VCC is returned to nominal levels.
The Functional Diagram illustrates the main elements.
Freshness Seal Mode
When a battery is first attached to the device, the device
does not immediately provide battery-backup power to
the RTC or internal circuitry. After VCC exceeds VPF,
the devices leave the freshness seal mode and provide
battery-backup power whenever VCC subsequently falls
below VBAT. This mode allows attachment of the battery
during product manufacturing, but no battery capacity is
consumed until after the system has been activated for
the first time. As a result, minimum battery energy is used
during storage and shipping.
Oscillator Circuit
The devices use an external 32.768kHz crystal. The
oscillator circuit does not require any external resistors or
capacitors to operate. The DS1343 includes integrated
capacitive loading for a 6pF CL crystal, and the DS1344
includes integrated capacitive loading for a 12.5pF CL
crystal. See the Crystal Parameters table for the external
crystal parameters. The Functional Diagram shows a
simplified schematic of the oscillator circuit. The startup
time is usually less than one second when using a crystal
with the specified characteristics.
Clock Accuracy
When running from the internal oscillator, the accuracy of
the clock is dependent upon the accuracy of the crystal
and the accuracy of the match between the capacitive
load of the oscillator circuit and the capacitive load for
which the crystal was trimmed. Additional error is added
by crystal frequency drift caused by temperature shifts.
External circuit noise coupled into the oscillator circuit
can result in the clock running fast. Figure 1 shows a
typical PCB layout for isolation of the crystal and oscil-
lator from noise. Refer to Application Note 58: Crystal
Considerations with Dallas Real-Time Clocks for detailed
information.

Register Map
Table 1 shows the devices’ register map. During a mul-
tibyte RTC access, if the address pointer reaches the
end of the register space (1Fh), it wraps around to loca-
tion 00h. During a multibyte RAM access, if the address
pointer reaches the end of the register space (7Fh), it
wraps around to location 20h. On either the rising edge
of CE or an RTC address pointer wrap around, the cur-
rent time is transferred to a secondary set of registers.
The time information is read from these secondary regis-
ters, while the clock continues to run. This eliminates the
need to reread the registers in case the main registers
update during a read.
Clock and Calendar (00h–06h)
The time and calendar information is obtained by reading
the appropriate register bytes. Table 1 shows the RTC
registers. The time and calendar are set or initialized by
writing the appropriate register bytes. The contents of
the time and calendar registers are in the BCD format.
The Day register increments at midnight and rolls over
from 7 to 1. Values that correspond to the day-of-week
are user defined, but must be sequential (i.e., if 1 equals
Sunday, then 2 equals Monday, and so on). Illogical time
and date entries result in undefined operation.
The devices can be run in either 12-hour or 24-hour
mode. Bit 6 of the Hours register is defined as the 12- or
24-hour mode-select bit. When high, the 12-hour mode
is selected. In the 12-hour mode, bit 5 is the AM/PM bit,
with a content of 1 being PM. In the 24-hour mode, bit 5
is the 20-hour field. Changing the 12/24 mode-select bit
requires that the Hours data subsequently be reentered,
including the Alarm register (if used). The Century bit (bit
7 of Month) is toggled when the Years register rolls over
from 99 to 00. On a power-on reset (POR), the time and
date are set to 00:00:00 01/01/00 (hh:mm:ss DD/MM/YY),
and the Day register is set to 01.
Alarms (07h–0Eh)
The devices contains two time-of-day/date alarms. Alarm
0 can be set by writing to registers 07h–0Ah. Alarm 1 can
be set by writing to registers 0Bh–0Eh. The alarms can
be programmed to activate the INT0 or INT1 outputs on
an alarm match condition (see Table 2). Bit 7 of each
of the time of day/date alarm registers are mask bits.
When all the mask bits for each alarm are 0, an alarm
only occurs when the values in the timekeeping registers
00h–06h match the values stored in the alarm registers.
The alarms can also be programmed to repeat every
second, minute, hour, or day. Configurations not listed
in the table result in illogical operation. POR values are
undefined.
When the RTC register values match alarm register
settings, the corresponding alarm flag bit (IRQF0 or
IRQF1) is set to 1 in the Status register. If the corre-
sponding alarm interrupt enable bit (A0IE or A1IE) is
also set to 1 in the Control register, the alarm condition
activates the output(s) defined by the INTCN bit. Upon
an active alarm, clearing the associated IRQF[1:0] bit
deasserts the selected interrupt output while leaving
the alarm enabled for the next occurrence of a match.
Alternatively, clearing the A_IE bit deasserts the output
and inhibits further output activations.
The alarm flags are always active, fully independent of
the A_IE bit states. All alarm registers should be written
to logic zero to disable the alarm matching.

BIT 7
EOSC: Enable oscillator. During battery backup, when EOSC is set to 0, the oscillator is enabled during back-
up operation. When set to 1, the oscillator is stopped when the device is powered by the backup supply. This
bit is set to logic 1 on the initial application of power.
BIT 6 Not used.
BIT 5
DOSF: Disable oscillator stop flag. When the DOSF bit is set to 1, sensing of the oscillator conditions that
would set the OSF bit are disabled. OSF remains at 0 regardless of what happens to the oscillator. This bit is
cleared (0) on the initial application of power.
BIT 4 EGFIL: Enable glitch filter. When the EGFIL bit is 1, the 5Fs glitch filter at the output of crystal oscillator is
enabled. The glitch filter is disabled when this bit is 0. This bit is cleared (0) on the initial application of power.
BIT 3 SQW: Enable square wave. When the SQW bit is set to 1, a 32kHz square wave is output on the INT1 output.
This bit is cleared (0) on the initial application of power.
BIT 2
INTCN: Interrupt control. This bit controls the relationship between the two time-of-day alarms and the two
interrupt output pins. When the INTCN bit is 1, a match between the timekeeping registers and the Alarm
0 registers activates the INT0 output (provided A0IE = 1), and a match between the timekeeping registers
and the Alarm 1 registers activates the INT1 output (provided A1IE = 1). When the INTCN bit is 0, a match
between the timekeeping registers and either the Alarm 0 registers or Alarm 1 registers activates the INT0 out-
put (provided A0IE = A1IE = 1). The INT1 output has no function when INTCN = 0. The INTCN bit is cleared
(0) on the initial application of power.
BIT 1
A1IE: Alarm 1 interrupt enable. When A1IE is set to 0, the Alarm 1 interrupt function is disabled. When A1IE
is 1, the Alarm 1 interrupt function is enabled and is routed to either INT0 (if INTCN = 0) or INT1 (if INTCN
= 1). Regardless of the state of A1IE, a match between the timekeeping registers and the Alarm 1 registers
(0Bh–0Eh) sets the interrupt request 1 flag bit (IRQF1). The A1IE bit is cleared (0) when power is first applied.
BIT 0
A0IE: Alarm 0 interrupt enable. When A0IE is set to 0, the Alarm 0 interrupt function is disabled. When A0IE
is 1, the Alarm 0 interrupt function is enabled and is routed to INT0. Regardless of the state of A0IE, a match
between the timekeeping registers and the Alarm 0 registers (07h–0Ah) sets the interrupt register 0 flag bit
(IRQF0). The A0IE bit is cleared (0) when power is first applied.

Status Register (10h)
Trickle Charger Register (11h)
Register 11h controls the devices’ trickle-charge char-
acteristics. The simplified schematic of Figure 2 shows
the basic components of the trickle charger. The trickle-
charge select (TCS[3:0]) bits (bits 7:4) control the
selection of the trickle charger. To prevent accidental
enabling, only a pattern of 1010 enables the trickle
charger; all other patterns disable the trickle charger.
On the initial application of power, the devices power
up with the trickle charger disabled. The diode-select
(DS[1:0]) bits (bits 3:2) select whether or not a diode is
connected between VCC and VBAT. The resistor-select
(RS[1:0]) bits (bits 1:0) select the resistor that is con-
nected between VCC and VBAT. The RS and DS bits
select the resistor and diodes, as shown in Table 3. The
user determines diode and resistor selection according
to the maximum current desired for secondary battery or
super cap charging. The maximum charging current can
be calculated using the equation that follows.

BIT 7
OSF: Oscillator stop flag. If the OSF bit is 1, the oscillator either has stopped or was stopped for some period
and could be used to judge the validity of the clock and calendar data. This bit is edge triggered and is set to
1 when the internal circuitry senses the oscillator has transitioned from a normal run state to a stop condition.
This bit remains at logic 1 until written to logic 0. Attempting to write OSF to 1 leaves the value unchanged.
The following are examples of conditions that can cause the OSF bit to be set:
1) The first time power is applied.
2) The voltage present on VCC is insufficient to support oscillation.
3) The EOSC bit is a logic one during battery backup.
4) External influences on the crystal (i.e., noise, leakage, etc.).
BIT 1
IRQF1: Interrupt request 1 flag. A logic 1 in the IRQF1 bit indicates that the time matched the Alarm 1 reg-
isters. This flag can be used to generate an interrupt on either INT0 or INT1 depending on the status of the
INTCN bit in the Control register. If the INTCN bit is 0 and IRQF1 is 1 (and the A1IE bit is also 1), INT0 goes
low. If the INTCN bit is 1 and IRQF1 is 1 (and the A1IE bit is also 1), INT1 goes low. IRQF1 is cleared when
the address pointer is set to any of the Alarm 1 registers during an I/O transaction. The IRQF1 bit can also
be cleared by writing it to 0. This bit can only be written to 0. Attempting to write the IRQF1 bit to 1 leaves the
value unchanged.
BIT 0
IRQF0: Interrupt request 0 flag. A logic 1 in the IRQF0 bit indicates that the time matched the Alarm 0 regis-
ters. If the A0IE bit is also 1, INT0 goes low. IRQF0 is cleared when the address pointer is set to any of the
Alarm 0 registers during an I/O transaction. The IRQF0 bit can also be cleared by writing it to 0. This bit can
only be written to 0. Attempting to write the IRQF0 bit to 1 leaves the value unchanged.

Assume, for the purposes of the example, that a system
power supply of 5V is applied to VCC and a super cap is
connected to VBAT. Also assume that the trickle charger
has been enabled with one diode and resistor R1. The
maximum current IMAX would be calculated as follows:
IMAX = (5.0V - diode drop)/R1 (5.0V - 0.6V)/2kΩ
2.2mA
As the super cap charges, the voltage drop between
VCC and VBAT decreases, and therefore, the charge
current decreases.
Serial Port Operation
The devices offer the flexibility to choose between two
serial-interface modes. The component can commu-
nicate with the SPI interface or with a standard 3-wire
interface. The interface method used is determined by
SERMODE. When SERMODE is connected to VCC, SPI
communication is selected. When SERMODE is con-
nected to ground, standard 3-wire communication is
selected.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI)
The serial peripheral interface (SPI) is a synchronous
bus for address and data transfer, and is used when
interfacing with the SPI bus on specific Motorola micro-
controllers, such as the 68HC05C4 and the 68HC11A8.
The SPI mode of serial communication is selected by
connecting SERMODE to VCC. Four pins are used for the
SPI. The four pins are SDO (serial-data out), SDI (serial-
data in), CE (chip enable), and SCLK (serial clock). The
IC is the slave device in an SPI application, with the
microcontroller being the master.
SDI and SDO are the serial-data input and output pins,
respectively, for the device. The CE input is used to
initiate and terminate a data transfer. SCLK is used to
synchronize data movement between the master (micro-
controller) and the slave (IC) devices.
The input clock (SCLK), which is generated by the micro-
controller, is active only during address and data transfer
to any device on the SPI bus. The inactive clock polarity
is programmable in some microcontrollers. The device
determines the clock polarity by sampling SCLK when
CE becomes active. Therefore, either SCLK polarity can
be accommodated. Input data (SDI) is latched on the
internal strobe edge and output data (SDO) is shifted out
on the shift edge (Figure 3). There is one clock for each
bit transferred. Address and data bits are transferred in
groups of eight, MSB first.
Address and Data Bytes
Address and data bytes are shifted MSB first into the
serial-data input (SDI) and out of the serial-data output
(SDO). Any transfer requires the address of the byte to
specify a write or read to either a RTC or RAM location,
followed by one or more bytes of data. Data is trans-
ferred out of the SDO for a read operation and into the
SDI for a write operation (Figure 4 and Figure 5).
The address byte is always the first byte entered after CE
is driven high. The most significant bit (R/W) of this byte
determines if a read or write takes place. If R/W is 0, one
or more read cycles occur. If R/W is 1, one or more write
cycles occur.
Data transfers can occur 1 byte at a time or in multiple-
byte burst mode. After CE is driven high an address is
written to the device. After the address, one or more data
bytes can be written or read. For a single-byte transfer,
1 byte is read or written and then CE is driven low. For
a multiple-byte transfer, however, multiple bytes can
be read or written to the device after the address has
been written. Each read or write cycle causes the RTC
register or RAM address to automatically increment.
Incrementing continues until the device is disabled.
When the RTC address space is selected, the address
wraps to 00h after incrementing from 1Fh. When the
RAM address space is selected, the address wraps to
20h after incrementing from 7Fh.

Reading and Writing in Burst Mode
Burst mode is similar to a single-byte read or write,
except that CE is kept high and additional SCLK cycles
are sent until the end of the burst. The clock registers
and the user RAM can be read or written in burst mode.
The address pointer wraps around to 00h after reaching
1Fh (RTC), and the address pointer wraps around to 20h
after reaching 7Fh (RAM). See Figure 6.
3-Wire Interface
The 3-wire interface mode operates similarly to the SPI
mode. However, in 3-wire mode there is one I/O instead
of separate data-in and data-out signals. The 3-wire
interface consists of the I/O (SDI and SDO pins con-
nected together), CE, and SCLK pins. In 3-wire mode,
each byte is shifted in LSB first, unlike SPI mode, where
each byte is shifted in MSB first.
As is the case with the SPI mode, an address byte is
written to the device followed by a single data byte or
multiple data bytes. Figure 7 illustrates a write cycle, and
Figure 8 illustrates a read cycle. In 3-wire mode, data is
input on the rising edge of SCLK and output on the falling
edge of SCLK.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
To achieve the best results when using the devices,
decouple the VCC power supply with a 0.01µF and/or
0.1µF capacitor. Use a high-quality, ceramic, surface-
mount capacitor if possible. Surface-mount components
minimize lead inductance, which improves performance,
and ceramic capacitors tend to have adequate high-
frequency response for decoupling applications.
Using Open-Drain Outputs
The INT0 and INT1 outputs are open drain and therefore
require external pullup resistors to realize a logic-high
output level.
Battery Charge Protection
The devices contain Maxim’s redundant battery-charge
protection circuit to prevent any charging of an external
battery. The DS1343 and DS1344 are recognized by
Underwriters Laboratories (UL) under file E141114.
