General Description
The DS17285, DS17485, DS17885, DS17287, DS17487,
and DS17887 real-time clocks (RTCs) are designed to be
successors to the industry-standard DS12885 and
DS12887. The DS17285, DS17485, and DS17885 (here-
after referred to as the DS17x85) provide a real-time
clock/calendar, one time-of-day alarm, three maskable
interrupts with a common interrupt output, a programma-
ble square wave, and 114 bytes of battery-backed NV
SRAM. The DS17x85 also incorporates a number of
enhanced functions including a silicon serial number,
power-on/off control circuitry, and 2k, 4k, or 8kbytes of
battery-backed NV SRAM. The DS17287, DS17487, and
DS17887 (hereafter referred to as the DS17x87) integrate
a quartz crystal and lithium energy source into a 24-pin
encapsulated DIP package. The DS17x85 and DS17x87
power-control circuitry allows the system to be powered
on by an external stimulus such as a keyboard or by a
time-and-date (wake-up) alarm. The PWR output pin is
triggered by one or either of these events, and is used to
turn on an external power supply. The PWR pin is under
software control, so that when a task is complete, the sys-
tem power can then be shut down.
For all devices, the date at the end of the month is auto-
matically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days,
including correction for leap years. It also operates in
either 24-hour or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator.
A precision temperature-compensated circuit monitors
the status of VCC. If a primary power failure is detected,
the device automatically switches to a backup supply. A
lithium coin cell battery can be connected to the VBAT
input pin on the DS17x85 to maintain time and date oper-
ation when primary power is absent. The DS17x85 and
DS17x87 include a VBAUX input used to power auxiliary
functions such as PWR control. The device is accessed
through a multiplexed byte-wide interface.

NAME FUNCTION
1 8 PWR
Active-Low Power-On Reset. This open-drain output pin is intended for use as an on/off
control for the system power. With VCC voltage removed from the device, PWR can be
automatically activated from a kickstart input by the KS pin or from a wake-up interrupt.
Once the system is powered on, the state of PWR can be controlled by bits in the control
registers. The PWR pin can be connected through a pullup resistor to a positive supply. For
5V operation, the voltage of the pullup supply should be no greater than 5.7V. For 3V
operation, the voltage on the pullup supply should be no greater than 3.9V.
2, 3 9, 10 X1, X2
Connections for Standard 32.768kHz Quartz Crystal. The internal oscillator circuitry is
designed for operation with a crystal having a specified load capacitance (CL) of 6pF or
12.5pF. Pin X1 is the input to the oscillator and can optionally be connected to an external
32.768kHz oscillator. The output of the internal oscillator, pin X2, is left unconnected if an
external oscillator is connected to pin X1. These pins are missing (N.C.) on the EDIP
package.
4–11 1217,
19, 20 AD0–AD7
Multiplexed Bidirectional Address/Data Bus. The addresses are presented during the first
portion of the bus cycle and latched into the device by the falling edge of ALE. Write data is
latched by the rising edge of WR. In a read cycle, the device outputs data during the latter
portion of the RD low. The read cycle is terminated and the bus returns to a high-impedance
state as RD transitions high.

NAME FUNCTION
13 23 CS
Active-Low Chip-Select Input. This pin must be asserted low during a bus cycle for the
device to be accessed. CS must be kept in the active state during RD and WR. Bus cycles
that take place without asserting CS latch addresses, but no access occurs.
14 24 ALE
Address Latch Enable Input, Active High. This input pin is used to demultiplex the
address/data bus. The falling edge of ALE causes the address to be latched within the
device.
15 25 WR Active-Low Write Input. This pin defines the period during which data is written to the
addressed register.
17 27 RD Active-Low Read Input. This pin identifies the period when the device drives the bus with
read data. It is an enable signal for the output buffers of the device.
18 28 KS
Active-Low Kickstart Input. When VCC is removed from the device, the system can be
powered on in response to an active-low transition on the KS pin, as might be generated
from a key closure. VBAUX must be present and auxiliary-battery-enable bit (ABE) must be
set to 1 if the kickstart function is used, and the KS pin must be pulled up to the VBAUX
supply. While VCC is applied, the KS pin can be used as an interrupt input. If not used, KS
must be grounded and ABE set to 0.
19 1 IRQ
Active-Low Interrupt Request. This pin is an active-low output that can be used as an
interrupt input to a processor. The IRQ output remains low as long as the status bit causing
the interrupt is present and the corresponding interrupt-enable bit is set. To clear the IRQ
pin, the application software must clear all enabled flag bits contributing to the pin’s active
state. When no interrupt conditions are present, the IRQ level is in the high-impedance
state. Multiple interrupting devices can be connected to an IRQ bus, provided that they are
all open drain. The IRQ pin requires an external pullup resistor to VCC.
20 2 VBAT
Connection for Primary Battery. This supply input is used to power the normal clock
functions when VCC is absent. Diodes placed in series between VBAT and the battery can
prevent proper operation. If VBAT is not required, the pin must be grounded. UL recognized
to ensure against reverse charging current when used with a lithium battery (www.maxim-
ic.com/qa/info/ul). This pin is missing (N.C.) on the EDIP package.

NAME FUNCTION
21 3 RCLR
Active-Low RAM Clear Input. This pin is used to clear (set to logic 1) all the 114 bytes of
general-purpose RAM but does not affect the RAM associated with the real time clock or
extended RAM. RCLR may be invoked while the part is powered from any supply. The
RCLR function is designed to be used via a human interface (shorting to ground manually
or by a switch) and not to be driven with external buffers. This pin is internally pulled up. Do
not use an external pullup resistor on this pin.
22 4 VBAUX
Auxiliary Battery Input. Required for kickstart and wake-up functions. This input also
supports clock/calendar and user RAM if VBAT is at lower voltage or is not used. A standard
+3V lithium cell or other energy source can be used. Diodes placed in series between
VBAUX and the battery may prevent proper operation. UL recognized to ensure against
reverse charging current when used with a lithium battery (www.maxim-ic.com/qa/info/ul/).
For 3V VCC operation, VBAUX must be held between +2.5V and +3.7V. For 5V VCC operation,
VBAUX must be held between +2.5V and +5.2V. If VBAUX is not used it should be grounded
and the auxiliary-battery-enable bit bank 1, register 4BH, should = 0.
23 5 SQW
Square-Wave Output. When VCC rises above VPF, bits DV1 and E32k are set to 1. This
condition enables a 32kHz square-wave output. A square wave is output if either SQWE = 1
or E32k = 1. If E32k = 1, then 32kHz is output regardless of the other control bits. If E32k =
0, then the output frequency is dependent on the control bits in Register A. The SQW pin
can output a signal from one of 13 taps provided by the 15 internal divider stages of the
RTC. The frequency of the SQW pin can be changed by programming Register A, as shown
in Table 3. The SQW signal can be turned on and off using the SQWE bit in Register B or the
E32k bit in extended register 4Bh. A 32kHz square wave is also available when VCC is less
than VPF if E32k = 1, ABE = 1, and voltage is applied to the VBAUX pin. When disabled,
SQW is high impedance when VCC is below VPF.
24 6, 7 VCC
DC Power Pin for Primary Power Supply. When VCC is applied within normal limits, the
device is fully accessible and data can be written and read. When VCC is below VPF reads
and writes are inhibited.

Detailed Description
The DS17x85 is a successor to the DS1285 real-time
clock (RTC). The device provides 18 bytes of real-time
clock/calendar, alarm, and control/status registers and
114 bytes of nonvolatile battery-backed RAM. The
device also provides additional extended RAM in either
2k/4k/8kbytes (DS17285/DS17485/DS17885). A time-
of-day alarm, six maskable interrupts with a common
interrupt output, and a programmable square-wave
output are available. It also operates in either 24-hour
or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator. A precision
temperature-compensated circuit monitors the status of
VCC. If a primary power-supply failure is detected, the
device automatically switches to a backup supply. The
backup supply input supports a primary battery, such
as a lithium coin cell. The device is accessed by a mul-
tiplexed address/data bus.
Oscillator Circuit
The DS17x85 uses an external 32.768kHz crystal. The
oscillator circuit does not require any external resistors
or capacitors to operate. Table 1 specifies several
crystal parameters for the external crystal, and Figure 2
shows a functional schematic of the oscillator circuit.
The oscillator is controlled by an enable bit in the con-
trol register. Oscillator startup times are highly depen-
dent upon crystal characteristics, PC board leakage,
and layout. High ESR and excessive capacitive loads
are the major contributors to long startup times. A cir-
cuit using a crystal with the recommended characteris-
tics and proper layout usually starts within one second.
An external 32.768kHz oscillator can also drive the
DS17x85. In this configuration, the X1 pin is connected
to the external oscillator signal and the X2 pin is left
unconnected.
Clock Accuracy
The accuracy of the clock is dependent upon the accu-
racy 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 will be added by crystal frequency drift
caused by temperature shifts. External circuit noise
coupled into the oscillator circuit may result in the clock
running fast. Figure 3 shows a typical PC board layout
for isolation of the crystal and oscillator from noise.

Power-Down/Power-Up
Considerations
The RTC function continues to operate, and all the
RAM, time, calendar, and alarm memory locations
remain nonvolatile regardless of the level of the VCC
input. VBAT or VBAUX must remain within the minimum
and maximum limits when VCC is not applied. When
VCC falls below VPF, the device inhibits all access,
putting the part into a low-power mode. When VCC is
applied and exceeds VPF (power-fail trip point), the
device becomes accessible after tREC, if the oscillator
is running and the oscillator countdown chain is not in
reset (Register A). This time period allows the system to
stabilize after power is applied. If the oscillator is not
enabled, the oscillator enable bit is enabled on power-
up, and the device becomes immediately accessible.
Power Control
The power control function is provided by a precise,
temperature-compensated voltage reference and a
comparator circuit that monitors the VCC level. The
device is fully accessible and data can be written and
read when VCC is greater than VPF. However, when
VCC falls below VPF, the device inhibits read and write
access. If VPF is less than VBAT, the device power is
switched from VCC to the higher of VBAT or VBAUX
when VCC drops below VPF. If VPF is greater than the
higher of VBAT or VBAUX, the device power is switched
from VCC to the higher of VBAT or VBAUX when VCC
drops below the higher backup source. The registers
are maintained from the VBAT or VBAUX source until
VCC is returned to nominal levels. After VCC returns
above VPF, read and write access is allowed after tREC.
Time, Calendar, and Alarm

The time and calendar information is obtained by read-
ing the appropriate register bytes. The time, calendar,
and alarm are set or initialized by writing the appropri-
ate register bytes. The contents of the 12 time, calen-
dar, and alarm bytes can be either binary or
binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. Tables 3A and 3B
show the BCD and binary formats of the 12 time, date,
and alarm registers, control registers A to D, plus the
two extended registers that reside in bank 1 only (bank
0 and bank 1 switching is explained later in this text).
The day-of-week register increments at midnight, incre-
menting from 1 through 7. The day-of-week register is
used by the daylight saving function, and so the value
1 is defined as Sunday. The date at the end of the
month is automatically adjusted for months with fewer
than 31 days, including correction for leap years.
Before writing the internal time, calendar, and alarm
registers, the SET bit in Register B should be written to
logic 1 to prevent updates from occurring while access
is being attempted. In addition to writing the 12 time,
calendar, and alarm registers in a selected format
(binary or BCD), the data mode bit (DM) of Register B
must be set to the appropriate logic level. All 12 time,
calendar, and alarm bytes must use the same data
mode. The set bit in Register B should be cleared after
the data mode bit has been written to allow the real
time clock to update the time and calendar bytes. Once
initialized, the real time clock makes all updates in the
selected mode. The data mode cannot be changed
without reinitializing the 12 data bytes. Tables 3A and
3B show the BCD and binary formats of the 12 time,
calendar, and alarm locations.
The 24-12 bit cannot be changed without reinitializing
the hour locations. When the 12-hour format is selected,
the high order bit of the hours byte represents PM when
it is logic 1. The time, calendar, and alarm bytes are
always accessible because they are double-buffered.
Once per second, the eight bytes are advanced by one
second and checked for an alarm condition.
If a read of the time and calendar data occurs during
an update, a problem exists where seconds, minutes,
hours, etc., may not correlate. The probability of read-
ing incorrect time and calendar data is low. Several
methods of avoiding any possible incorrect time and
calendar reads are covered later in this text.

The alarm bytes can be used in two ways. First, when
the alarm time is written in the appropriate hours, min-
utes, and seconds alarm locations, the alarm interrupt
is initiated at the specified time each day, if the alarm
enable bit is high. In this mode, the “0” bits in the alarm
registers and the corresponding time registers must
always be written to 0 (see Table 3A and 3B). Writing
the 0 bits in the alarm and/or time registers to 1 can
result in undefined operation.
The second use condition is to insert a “don’t care”
state in one or more of the alarm bytes. The don’t care
code is any hexadecimal value from C0 to FF. The two
most significant bits of each byte set the don’t care
condition when at logic 1. An alarm will be generated
each hour when the “don’t care” bits are set in the
hours byte. Similarly, an alarm is generated every
minute with don’t care codes in the hours and minute
alarm bytes. An alarm is generated every second with
don’t care codes in the hours, minutes, and seconds
alarm bytes.
All 128 bytes can be directly written or read except for
the following:
1) Registers C and D are read-only.
2) Bit 7 of register A is read-only.
3) The MSB of the seconds byte is read-only.

Bit 7: Update In Progress (UIP). This bit is a status
flag that can be monitored. When the UIP bit is 1, the
update transfer will soon occur. When UIP is 0, the
update transfer does not occur for at least 244µs. The
time, calendar, and alarm information in RAM is fully
available for access when the UIP bit is 0. The UIP bit is
read-only. Writing the SET bit in Register B to 1 inhibits
any update transfer and clears the UIP status bit.
Bits 6, 5, and 4: DV2, DV1, and DV0. These bits are
used to turn the oscillator on or off and to reset the
countdown chain. A pattern of 01X is the only combina-

to keep time. A pattern of 11X enables the oscillator but
holds the countdown chain in reset. The next update
occurs at 500ms after a pattern of 01X is written to DV0,
DV1, and DV2. DV0 is used to select bank 0 or bank 1 as
defined in Table 5. When DV0 is set to 0, bank 0 is
selected. When DV0 is set to 1, bank 1 is selected.

Bit 7: SET. When the SET bit is 0, the update transfer
functions normally by advancing the counts once per
second. When the SET bit is written to 1, any update
transfer is inhibited, and the program can initialize the
time and calendar bytes without an update occurring in
the midst of initializing. Read cycles can be executed in
a similar manner. SET is a read/write bit and is not
affected by any internal functions of the DS17x85.
Bit 6: Periodic Interrupt Enable (PIE). This bit is a
read/write bit that allows the periodic interrupt flag (PF)
bit in Register C to drive the IRQ pin low. When PIE is
set to 1, periodic interrupts are generated by driving
the IRQ pin low at a rate specified by the RS3–RS0 bits
of Register A. A 0 in the PIE bit blocks the IRQ output
from being driven by a periodic interrupt, but the PF bit
is still set at the periodic rate. PIE is not modified by
any internal DS17x85 functions.
Bit 5: Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE). This bit is a
read/write bit that, when set to 1, permits the alarm flag
(AF) bit in Register C to assert IRQ. An alarm interrupt
occurs for each second that the three time bytes equal
the three alarm bytes, including a don’t care alarm
code of binary 11XXXXXX. When the AIE bit is set to 0,
the AF bit does not initiate the IRQ signal. The internal
functions of the DS17x285/87 do not affect the AIE bit.
Bit 4: Update-Ended Interrupt Enable (UIE). This bit is
a read/write bit that enables the update-end flag (UF)
bit in Register C to assert IRQ. The SET bit going high
clears the UIE bit.
Bit 3: Square-Wave Enable (SQWE). When this bit is
set to 1 and E32k = 0, a square-wave signal at the fre-
quency set by RS3–RS0 is driven out on the SQW pin.
When the SQWE bit is set to 0 and E32k = 0, the SQW
pin is held low. SQWE is a read/write bit. SQWE is set
to 1 when VCC is powered up.
Bit 2: Data Mode (DM). This bit indicates whether time
and calendar information is in binary or BCD format.
The program sets the DM bit to the appropriate format
and can be read as required. This bit is not modified by
internal functions. A 1 in DM signifies binary data, while
a 0 in DM specifies binary-coded decimal (BCD) data.
Bit 1: 24/12 Control (24/12). This bit establishes the
format of the hours byte. A 1 indicates the 24-hour
mode and a 0 indicates the 12-hour mode. This bit is
read/write and is not affected by internal functions.
Bit 0: Daylight Saving Enable (DSE). This bit is a
read/write bit that enables two daylight saving adjust-
ments when DSE is set to 1. On the first Sunday in
April, the time increments from 1:59:59AM to
3:00:00AM. On the last Sunday in October when the
time first reaches 1:59:59AM, it changes to 1:00:00AM.
When DSE is enabled, the internal logic tests for the
first/last Sunday condition at midnight. If the DSE bit is
not set when the test occurs, the daylight saving func-
tion does not operate correctly. These adjustments do
not occur when the DSE bit is zero. This bit is not
affected by internal functions.

PF = PIE = 1 WF = WIE = 1
AF = AIE = 1 KF = KSE = 1
UF = UIE = 1 RF = RIE = 1
Any time the IRQF bit is 1, the IRQ pin is driven low.
Flag bits PF, AF, and UF are cleared after reading
Register C.
Bit 6: Periodic Interrupt Flag (PF). This is a read-only
bit that is set to 1 when an edge is detected on the
selected tap of the divider chain. The RS3–RS0 bits
establish the periodic rate. PF is set to 1 independent
of the state of the PIE bit. When both PF and PIE are 1s,
the IRQ signal is active and sets the IRQF bit. Reading
Register C clears this bit.
Bit 5: Alarm Interrupt Flag (AF). A 1 in this bit indicates
that the current time has matched the alarm time. If the
AIE bit is also 1, the IRQ pin goes low and a 1 appears in
the IRQF bit. Reading Register C clears this bit.
Bit 4: Update-Ended Interrupt Flag (UF). This bit is
set after each update cycle. When the UIE bit is set to
1, the 1 in UF causes the IRQF bit to be 1, which
asserts IRQ. Reading Register C clears this bit.
Bits 3 to 0: Unused. These unused bits always read 0
and cannot be written.

Nonvolatile RAM
The user RAM bytes are not dedicated to any special
function within the DS17x85. They can be used by the
processor program as battery-backed memory and are
fully available during the update cycle.
The user RAM is divided into two separate memory
banks. When the bank 0 is selected, the 14 real-time
clock registers and 114 bytes of user RAM are accessi-
ble. When bank 1 is selected, an additional 2kbytes,
4kbytes, or 8kbytes of user RAM are accessible
through the extended RAM address and data registers.
Interrupts
The RTC includes six separate, fully automatic sources
of interrupt for a processor:
1) Alarm Interrupt
2) Periodic Interrupt
3) Update-Ended Interrupt
4) Wake-Up Interrupt
5) Kickstart Interrupt
6) RAM Clear Interrupt
The conditions that generate each of these indepen-
dent interrupt conditions are described in detail in other
sections of this data sheet. This section describes the
overall control of the interrupts.
The application software can select which interrupts, if
any, are to be used. There are 6 bits, including 3 bits in
Register B and 3 bits in Extended Register 4B, that
enable the interrupts. The extended register locations
are described later. Writing logic 1 to an interrupt-
enable bit permits that interrupt to be initiated when the
event occurs. A logic 0 in the interrupt-enable bit pro-
hibits the IRQ pin from being asserted from that interrupt
condition. If an interrupt flag is already set when an
interrupt is enabled, IRQ is immediately set at an active
level, although the event initiating the interrupt condition
might have occurred much earlier. Therefore, there are
cases where the software should clear these earlier
generated interrupts before first enabling new interrupts.
When an interrupt event occurs, the relating flag bit is
set to logic 1 in Register C or in Extended Register 4A.
These flag bits are set regardless of the setting of the
corresponding enable bit located either in Register B or
in Extended Register 4B. The flag bits can be used in a
polling mode without enabling the corresponding
enable bits.
However, care should be taken when using the flag bits
of Register C as they are automatically cleared to 0
immediately after they are read. Double latching is
implemented on these bits so that set bits remain sta-
ble throughout the read cycle. All bits that were set are
cleared when read and new interrupts that are pending
during the read cycle are held until after the cycle is
completed. One, two, or three bits can be set when
reading Register C. Each used flag bit should be exam-
ined when read to ensure that no interrupts are lost.
The flag bits in Extended Register 4A are not automati-
cally cleared following a read. Instead, each flag bit
can be cleared to 0 only by writing 0 to that bit.
When using the flag bits with fully enabled interrupts,
the IRQ line is driven low when an interrupt flag bit is
set and its corresponding enable bit is also set. IRQ is
held low as long as at least one of the six possible
interrupt sources has its flag and enable bits both set.
The IRQF bit in Register C is 1 whenever the IRQ pin is
being driven low as a result of one of the six possible
active sources. Therefore, determination that the
DS17x85/DS17x87 initiated an interrupt is accom-
plished by reading Register C and finding IRQF = 1.
IRQF remains set until all enabled interrupt flag bits are
cleared to 0.
Oscillator Control Bits
A pattern of 01X in bits 4 to 6 of Register A turns the
oscillator on and enables the countdown chain. A pat-
tern of 11X (DV2 = 1, DV1 = 1, DV0 = X) turns the oscil-
lator on, but holds the countdown chain of the oscillator
in reset. All other combinations of bits 4 to 6 keep the
oscillator off.
When the DS17x87 is shipped from the factory, the
internal oscillator is turned off. This feature prevents the
lithium energy cell from being used until it is installed in
a system.
Square-Wave Output Selection
Thirteen of the 15 divider taps are made available to a
1-of-16 multiplexer, as shown in Figure 1. The square
wave and periodic interrupt generators share the out-
put of the multiplexer. The RS0–RS3 bits in Register A
establish the output frequency of the multiplexer. These
frequencies are listed in Table 4. Once the frequency is
selected, the output of the SQW pin can be turned on
and off under program control with the square-wave
enable bit (SQWE).
If E32K = 0, the square-wave output is determined by
the RS3 to RS0 bits. If E32K = 1, a 32kHz square wave
is output on the SQW pin, regardless of the RS3 to RS0
bits’ state. If E32K = ABE = 1 and a valid voltage is
applied to VBAUX, a 32kHz square wave is output on
SQW when VCC is below VTP.
Real-Time Clocks
18 ____________________________________________________________________
Periodic Interrupt Selection
The periodic interrupt causes the IRQ pin to go to an
active state from once every 500ms to once every
122µs. This function is separate from the alarm inter-
rupt, which can be output from once per second to
once per day. The periodic interrupt rate is selected
using the same Register A bits that select the square-
wave frequency (see Table 4). Changing the Register A
bits affects both the square-wave frequency and the
periodic interrupt output. However, each function has a
separate enable bit in Register B. The SQWE and E32k
bits control the square-wave output. Similarly, the peri-
odic interrupt is enabled by the PIE bit in Register B.
The periodic interrupt can be used with software coun-
ters to measure inputs, create output intervals, or await
the next needed software function.
Update Cycle
The DS17x85 executes an update cycle once per sec-
ond regardless of the SET bit in Register B. When the
SET bit in Register B is set to 1, the user copy of the
double-buffered time, calendar, and alarm bytes is
frozen and does not update as the time increments.
However, the time countdown chain continues to
update the internal copy of the buffer. This feature
allows time to maintain accuracy independent of read-
ing or writing the time, calendar, and alarm buffers, and
also guarantees that time and calendar information is
consistent. The update cycle also compares each
alarm byte with the corresponding time byte and issues
an alarm if a match or if a don’t care code is present in
all alarm locations.
There are three methods that can handle access of the
RTC that avoid any possibility of accessing inconsistent
time and calendar data. The first method uses the
update-ended interrupt. If enabled, an interrupt occurs
after every update cycle that indicates that over 999ms
are available to read valid time and date information. If
this interrupt is used, the IRQF bit in Register C should
be cleared before leaving the interrupt routine.
A second method uses the update-in-progress (UIP) bit
in Register A to determine if the update cycle is in
progress. The UIP bit pulses once per second. After
the UIP bit goes high, the update transfer occurs 244µs
later. If a low is read on the UIP bit, the user has at least
244µs before the time/calendar data is changed.
Therefore, the user should avoid interrupt service rou-
tines that would cause the time needed to read valid
time/calendar data to exceed 244µs.
The third method uses a periodic interrupt to determine
if an update cycle is in progress. The UIP bit in Register
A is set high between the setting of the PF bit in
Register C (see Figure 4). Periodic interrupts that occur
at a rate of greater than tBUC allow valid time and date
information to be reached at each occurrence of the
periodic interrupt. The reads should be complete within
1 (tPI/2 + tBUC) to ensure that data is not read during
the update cycle.

Extended Functions
The extended functions provided by the DS17x85/
DS17x87 that are new to the RAMified RTC family are
accessed by a software-controlled bank-switching
scheme, as illustrated in Table 5. In bank 0, the
clock/calendar registers and 50 bytes of user RAM are
in the same locations as for the DS1287. As a result,
existing routines implemented within BIOS, DOS, or
application software packages can gain access to the
DS17x85/DS17x87 clock registers with no changes.
Also in bank 0, an extra 64 bytes of RAM are provided
at addresses just above the original locations for a total
of 114 directly addressable bytes of user RAM.
When bank 1 is selected, the clock/calendar registers
and the original 50 bytes of user RAM still appear as
bank 0. However, the extended registers that provide
control and status for the extended functions are
accessed in place of the additional 64 bytes of user
RAM. The major extended functions controlled by the
extended registers are listed below:
64-Bit Silicon Serial Number
Century Counter
RTC Write Counter
Date Alarm
Auxiliary Battery Control/Status
Wake-Up
Kickstart
RAM Clear Control/Status
Extended RAM Access
The bank selection is controlled by the state of the DV0
bit in register A. To access bank 0 the DV0 bit should
be written to a 0. To access bank 1, DV0 should be
written to 1. Register locations designated as reserved
in the bank 1 map are reserved for future use by Dallas
Semiconductor. Bits in these locations cannot be writ-
ten and return a 0 if read.
Silicon Serial Number
A unique 64-bit lasered serial number is located in
bank 1, registers 40h–47h. This serial number is divid-
ed into three parts. The first byte in register 40h con-
tains a model number to identify the device type of the
DS17x85/DS17x87. Registers 41h–46h contain a
unique binary number. Register 47h contains a CRC
byte used to validate the data in registers 40h–46h. The
CRC polynomial is X8+ X5+ X4+ 1. See Figure 5. All 8
bytes of the serial number are read-only registers. The
DS17x85/DS17x87 is manufactured such that no two
devices contain an identical number in locations
41h–47h.

Century Counter
A register has been added in bank 1, location 48H, to
keep track of centuries. The value is read in either bina-
ry or BCD according to the setting of the DM bit.
RTC Write Counter
An 8-bit counter located in extended register bank 1,
5Eh, counts the number of times the RTC is written to.
This counter is incremented on the rising edge of the
WR signal every time that the CS signal qualifies it. This
counter is a read-only register and rolls over after 256
RTC write pulses. This counter can be used to deter-
mine if and how many RTC writes have occurred since
the last time this register was read.
Auxiliary Battery
The VBAUX input is provided to supply power from an
auxiliary battery for the DS17x85/DS17x87 kickstart,
wake-up, and SQW output in the absence of VCC func-
tions. This power source must be available to use these
auxiliary functions when no VCC is applied to the device.
The auxiliary battery enable (ABE; bank 1, register
04BH) bit in Extended Control Register 4B is used to
turn the auxiliary battery on and off for the above func-
tions in the absence of VCC. When set to 1, VBAUX bat-
tery power is enabled; when cleared to 0, VBAUX
battery power is disabled to these functions.
In the DS17x85/DS17x87, this auxiliary battery can be
used as the primary backup power source for maintain-
ing the clock/calendar, user RAM, and extended exter-
nal RAM functions. This occurs if the VBAT pin is at a
lower voltage than VBAUX. If the DS17x85 is to be
backed up using a single battery with any auxiliary
functions enabled, then VBAUX should be used and
VBAT should be grounded. If VBAUX is not to be used, it
should be grounded and ABE should be cleared to 0.
Wake-Up/Kickstart
The DS17x85/DS17x87 incorporates a wake-up feature
that powers on the system at a predetermined date and
time through activation of the PWR output pin. In addi-
tion, the kickstart feature allows the system to be pow-
ered up in response to a low-going transition on the KS
pin, without operating voltage applied to the VCC pin.
As a result, system power can be applied upon such
events as a key closure or modem ring-detect signal.
To use either the wake-up or the kickstart functions, the
DS17x85/DS17x87 must have an auxiliary battery con-
nected to the VBAUX pin, the oscillator must be running,
and the countdown chain must not be in reset (Register
A DV2, DV1, DV0 = 01X). If DV2 and DV1 are not in this
required state, the PWR pin is not driven low in
response to a kickstart or wake-up condition while in
battery-backed mode.
The wake-up feature is controlled through the wake-up
interrupt-enable bit in Extended Control Register 4B (WIE,
bank 1, 04BH). Setting WIE to 1 enables the wake-up fea-
ture, clearing WIE to 0 disables it. Similarly, the kickstart
interrupt-enable bit in Extended Control Register 4B
(KSE, bank 1, 04BH) controls the kickstart feature.
A wake-up sequence occurs as follows: When wake-up
is enabled through WIE = 1 while the system is pow-
ered down (no VCC voltage), the clock/calendar moni-
tors the current date for a match condition with the date
alarm register (bank 1, register 049H). With the date
alarm register, the hours, minutes, and seconds alarm
bytes in the clock/calendar register map (bank 0, regis-
ters 05H, 03H, and 01H) are also monitored. As a
result, a wake-up occurs at the date and time specified
by the date, hours, minutes, and seconds alarm regis-
ter values. This additional alarm occurs regardless of
the programming of the AIE bit (bank 0, register B,
0BH). When the match condition occurs, the PWR pin is
automatically driven low. This output can be used to
turn on the main system power supply that provides
VCC voltage to the DS17x85/DS17x87 as well as the
other major components in the system. Also at this
time, the wake-up flag (WF, bank 1, register 04AH) is
set, indicating that a wake-up condition has occurred.
A kickstart sequence occurs when kickstarting is
enabled through KSE = 1. While the system is powered
down, the KS input pin is monitored for a low-going
transition of minimum pulse width tKSPW. When such a
transition is detected, the PWR line is pulled low, as it is
for a wake-up condition. Also at this time, the kickstart
flag (KF, bank 1, register 04AH) is set, indicating that a
kickstart condition has occurred.
The timing associated with both the wake-up and kick-
starting sequences is illustrated in the
Wake-
Up/Kickstart Timing Diagram
(Figure 6). The timing
associated with these functions is divided into five inter-
vals, labeled 1 to 5 on the diagram.
The occurrence of either a kickstart or wake-up condition
causes the PWR pin to be driven low, as described
above. During interval 1, if the supply voltage on the
DS17x85/DS17x87 VCC pin rises above the greater of
VBAT or VPF before the power-on timeout period (tPOTO)
expires, then PWR remains at the active-low level. If VCC
does not rise above the greater of VBAT or VPF in this
time, then the PWR output pin is turned off and returns to
its high-impedance level. In this event, the IRQ pin also
remains tri-stated. The interrupt flag bit (either WF or KF)
associated with the attempted power-on sequence
remains set until cleared by software during a subse-
quent system power-on.
If VCC is applied within the timeout period, then the sys-
tem power-on sequence continue as shown in intervals
2 to 5 in the timing diagram. During interval 2, PWR
remains active and IRQ is driven to its active-low level,
indicating that either WF or KF was set in initiating the
power-on. In the diagram KS is assumed to be pulled
up to the VBAUX supply. Also at this time, the PAB bit is
automatically cleared to 0 in response to a successful
power-on. The PWR line remains active as long as the
PAB remains cleared to 0.

At the beginning of interval 3, the system processor has
begun code execution and clears the interrupt condi-
tion of WF and/or KF by writing zeros to both of these
control bits. As long as no other interrupt within the
DS17x85/DS17x87 is pending, the IRQ line is taken
inactive once these bits are reset. Execution of the
application software can proceed. During this time, the
wake-up and kickstart functions can be used to gener-
ate status and interrupts. WF is set in response to a
date, hours, minutes, and seconds match condition. KF
is set in response to a low-going transition on KS. If the
associated interrupt-enable bit is set (WIE and/or KSE),
the IRQ line is driven active low in response to enabled
event. In addition, the other possible interrupt sources
within the DS17885/DS17887 can cause IRQ to be dri-
ven low. While system power is applied, the on-chip
logic always attempts to drive the PWR pin active in
response to the enabled kickstart or wake-up condition.
This is true even if PWR was previously inactive as the
result of power being applied by some means other
than wake-up or kickstart.
The system can be powered down under software con-
trol by setting the PAB bit to logic 1. This causes the
open-drain PWR pin to be placed in a high-impedance
state, as shown at the beginning of interval 4 in the tim-
ing diagram. As VCC voltage decays, the IRQ output
pin is placed in a high-impedance state when VCC
goes below VPF. If the system is to be again powered
on in response to a wake-up or kickstart, then the WF
and KF flags should be cleared, and WIE and/or KSE
should be enabled prior to setting the PAB bit.
During interval 5, the system is fully powered down.
Battery backup of the clock calendar and NV RAM is in
effect and IRQ is tri-stated, and monitoring of wake-up
and kickstart takes place. If PRS = 1, PWR stays active;
otherwise, if PRS = 0, PWR is high impedance.
RAM Clear
The DS17x85/DS17x87 provide a RAM clear function
for the 114 bytes of user RAM. When enabled, this
function can be performed regardless of the condition
of the VCC pin.
The RAM clear function is enabled or disabled through
the RAM clear-enable bit (RCE; bank 1, register 04BH).
When this bit is set to logic 1, the 114 bytes of user RAM
is cleared (all bits set to 1) when an active-low transition
is sensed on the RCLR pin. This action has no effect on
either the clock/calendar settings or the contents of the
extended RAM. The RAM clear flag (RF, bank 1, register
04AH) is set when the RAM clear operation has been
completed. If VCC is present at the time of the RAM
clear and RIE = 1, the IRQ line is also driven low upon
completion. Writing a zero to the RF bit clears the inter-
rupt condition. The IRQ line then returns to its inactive
high level, provided there are no other pending inter-
rupts. Once the RCLR pin is activated, all read/write
accesses are locked out for a minimum recover time,
specified as tREC in
Electrical Characteristics
.
When RCE is cleared to 0, the RAM clear function is
disabled. The state of the RCLR pin has no effect on
the contents of the user RAM, and transitions on the
RCLR pin have no effect on RF.
Extended RAM
The DS17x85/DS17x87 provide 2k, 4k, or 8k x 8 of on-
chip SRAM that is controlled as nonvolatile storage sus-
tained from a lithium battery. On power-up, the RAM is
taken out of write-protect status by the internal power-
OK signal (POK) generated from the write-protect cir-
cuitry. The on-chip SRAM is accessed through the
eight multiplexed address/data lines AD7 to AD0. Three
on-chip latch registers control access to the SRAM.
Two registers are used to hold the SRAM address, and
the other register is used to hold read/write data.
Access to the extended RAM is controlled by three of
the registers shown in Table 5. The extended registers
in bank 1 must first be selected by setting the DV0 bit
in register A to logic 1. The address of the RAM loca-
tion to be accessed must be loaded into the extended
RAM address registers located at 50h and 51h. The
least significant address byte should be written to loca-
tion 50h, and the most significant bits (right-justified)
should be loaded in location 51h. Data in the
addressed location can be read by performing a read
operation from location 53h, or written to by performing
a write operation to location 53h. Data in any
addressed location can be read or written repeatedly
without changing the address in location 50h and 51h.
To read or write consecutive extended RAM locations,
a burst mode feature can be enabled to increment the
extended RAM address. To enable the burst mode fea-
ture, set the BME bit in the Extended Control Register
4Ah to logic 1. With burst mode enabled, write the
extended RAM starting address location to registers
50h and 51h. Then read or write the extended RAM
data from/to register 53h. The extended RAM address
locations are automatically incremented on the rising
edge of RD or WR only when register 53h is being
accessed. See the
Burst Mode Timing Waveform.

Bit 7: Valid RAM and Time 2 (VRT2). This status bit
gives the condition of the auxiliary battery. It is set to
logic 1 condition when the external lithium battery is
connected to the VBAUX. If this bit is read as logic 0,
the external battery should be replaced.
Bit 6: Increment in Progress Status (INCR). This bit is
set to 1 when an increment to the time/date registers is
in progress and the alarm checks are being made.
INCR is set to 1 at 122µs before the update cycle starts
and is cleared to 0 at the end of each update cycle.
Bit 5: Burst Mode Enable (BME). The burst mode
enable bit allows the extended user RAM address reg-
isters to automatically increment for consecutive reads
and writes. When BME is set to logic 1, the automatic
incrementing is enabled and when BME is set to a logic
0, the automatic incrementing is disabled.
Bit 3: Power Active-Bar Control (PAB). When this bit
is 0, the PWR pin is in the active low state. When this bit
is 1, the PWR pin is in the high-impedance state. The
user can write this bit to logic 1 or 0. If either WF and
WIE = 1 or KF and KSE = 1, the PAB bit is cleared to 0.
Bit 2: RAM Clear Flag (RF). This bit is set to logic 1
when a high-to-low transition occurs on the RCLR input
if RCE = 1. Writing this bit to logic 0 clears it. This bit
can also be written to logic 1 to force an interrupt con-
dition.
Bit 1: Wake-Up Alarm Flag (WF). This bit is set to 1
when a wake-up alarm condition occurs or when the
user writes it to 1. WF is cleared by writing it to 0.
Bit 0: Kickstart Flag (KF). This bit is set to 1 when a
kickstart condition occurs or when the user writes it to
1. This bit is cleared by writing it to logic 0.
Extended Control Registers
Two extended control registers are provided to supply
control and status information for the extended func-
tions offered by the DS17x85/DS17x87. These are des-
ignated as Extended Control Registers 4A and 4B, and
are located in register bank 1, locations 04AH and
04BH, respectively. The functions of the bits within
these registers are described as follows.

Bit 7: Auxiliary Battery Enable (ABE). When written to
logic 1, this bit enables the VBAUX pin for extended
functions.
Bit 6: Enable 32.768kHz Output (E32k). When written
to logic 1, this bit enables the 32.768kHz oscillator fre-
quency to be output on the SQW pin. E32k is set to 1
when VCC is powered up.
Bit 5: Crystal Select (CS). When CS is set to 0, the
oscillator is configured for operation with a crystal that
has a 6pF specified load capacitance. When CS = 1,
the oscillator is configured for a 12.5pF crystal. CS is
disabled in the DS17x87 module and should be set to
CS = 0.
Bit 4: RAM Clear Enable (RCE). When set to 1, this bit
enables a low level on RCLR to clear all 114 bytes of
user RAM. When RCE = 0, RCLR and the RAM clear
function are disabled.
Bit 3: PAB Reset Select (PRS). When set to 0, the
PWR pin is set high impedance when the DS17x85
goes into power fail. When set to 1, the PWR pin
remains active upon entering power fail.
Bit 2: RAM Clear Interrupt Enable (RIE). When RIE is
set to 1, the IRQ pin is driven low when a RAM clear
function is completed.
Bit 1: Wake-Up Alarm Interrupt Enable (WIE). When
VCC voltage is absent and WIE is set to 1, the PWR pin
is driven active low when a wake-up condition occurs,
causing the WF bit to be set to 1. When VCC is then
applied, the IRQ pin is also driven low. If WIE is set
while system power is applied, both IRQ and PWR are
driven low in response to WF being set to 1. When WIE
is cleared to 0, the WF bit has no effect on the PWR or
IRQ pins.
Bit 0: Kickstart Interrupt Enable (KSE). When VCC
voltage is absent and KSE is set to 1, the PWR pin is
driven active low when a kickstart condition occurs (KS
pulsed low), causing the KF bit to be set to 1. When
VCC is then applied, the IRQ pin is also driven low. If
KSE is set to 1 while system power is applied, both IRQ
and PWR are driven low in response to KF being set to
1. When KSE is cleared to 0, the KF bit has no effect on
the PWR or IRQ pins.

(SMI) Recovery Stack
An SMI recovery register stack is located in the extend-
ed register bank, locations 4Eh and 4Fh. This register
stack, shown below, can be used by the BIOS to recov-
er from an SMI occurring during an RTC read or write.
The RTC address is latched on the falling edge of the
ALE signal. Each time an RTC address is latched, the
register address stack is pushed. The stack is only four
registers deep, holding the three previous RTC
addresses in addition to the current RTC address being
accessed. Figure 8 illustrates how the BIOS could
recover the RTC address when an SMI occurs.
1) The RTC address is latched.
2) An SMI is generated before an RTC read or write
occurs.
3 RTC address 0Ah is latched and the address from 1
is pushed to the “RTC Address–1” stack location.
This step is necessary to change the bank select bit,
DV0 = 1.
4) RTC address 4Eh is latched and the address from 1
is pushed to location 4Eh, “RTC Address–2” while
0Ah is pushed to the “RTC Address–1” location. The
data in this register, 4Eh, is the RTC address lost due
to the SMI.
