DS1390–DS1394
Low-Voltage SPI/3-Wire RTCs with
Trickle Charger
General Description
The low-voltage serial-peripheral interface (SPI™)
DS1390/DS1391/DS1394 and the low-voltage 3-wire
DS1392/DS1393 real-time clocks (RTCs) are clocks/cal-
endars that provide hundredths of a second, 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
the 24-hour or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator.
One programmable time-of-day alarm is provided. A
temperature-compensated voltage reference monitors
the status of VCC and automatically disables the bus
interface and switches to the backup supply if a power
failure is detected. On the DS1390, a single open-drain
output provides a CPU interrupt or a square wave at
one of four selectable frequencies. The DS1391
replaces the SQW/INT pin with a RST output/
debounced input.
The DS1390, DS1391, and DS1394 are programmed
serially through an SPI-compatible, bidirectional bus.
The DS1392 and DS1393 communicate over a 3-wire
serial bus, and the extra pin is used for either a sepa-
rate interrupt pin or a RST output/debounced input.
All five devices are available in a 10-pin µSOP package,
and are rated over the industrial temperature range.

— 6 — INT
Interrupt Output. This pin is used to output the interrupt signal, if enabled by
the control register. The maximum voltage on this pin is 5.5V, independent
of VCC or VBACKUP. If enabled, INT functions when the device is powered
by either VCC or VBACKUP.
— 9 6 RST
Reset. This active-low, open-drain output indicates the status of VCC relative
to the VPF specification. As Vcc falls below VPF, the RST pin is driven low.
When Vcc exceeds VPF, for tRST, the RST pin is driven high impedance.
This pin is combined with a debounced pushbutton input function. This pin
can be activated by a pushbutton reset request. This pin has an internal,
50k (typ) pullup resistor to VCC. No external pullup resistors should be
connected. If the crystal oscillator is disabled, the startup time of the
oscillator is added to the tRST delay.

Detailed Description
The DS1390–DS1394 RTCs are low-power clocks/calen-
dars with alarms. Address and data are transferred seri-
ally through a 4-wire SPI interface for the DS1390 and
DS1391 and through a 3-wire interface for the DS1392,
DS1393, and DS1394. The DS1390/DS1391 operate as a
slave device on the SPI serial bus. The DS1392/DS1393
operate using a 3-wire synchronous serial bus. Access is
obtained by selecting the part by the CS pin (CE on
DS1392/DS1393) and clocking data into/out of the part
using the SCLK and DIN/DOUT pins (I/O on
DS1392/DS1393). Multiple-byte transfers are supported
within one CS low period (see the
SPI Serial-Data Bus
section). The clocks/calendars provide hundredths of
seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month,
and year information. The alarm functions are performed
off all timekeeping registers, allowing the user to set high
resolution alarms. The date at the end of the month is
automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31
days, including corrections for leap year. The clocks
operate in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with an
AM/PM indicator. All five devices have a built-in tempera-
ture-compensated voltage reference that detects power
failures and automatically switches to the battery supply.
Additionally, the devices can provide trickle charging of
the backup voltage source, with selectable charging
resistance and diode voltage drops.

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 internal clock registers are
blocked from any access. If VPF is less than VBACKUP,
the device power is switched from VCC to VBACKUP
when VCC drops below VPF. If VPF is greater than
VBACKUP, the device power is switched from VCC to
VBACKUP when VCC drops below VBACKUP.
Timekeeping operation and register data are main-
tained from the VBACKUP source until VCC is returned to
nominal levels (Table 1). After VCC returns above VPF,
read and write access is allowed after RST goes high
(Figure 5).
Oscillator Circuit
All five devices use an external 32.768kHz crystal. The
oscillator circuit does not require any external resistors
or capacitors to operate. Table 2 specifies several crys-
tal parameters for the external crystal. If a crystal is
used with the specified characteristics, the startup time
is usually less than one second.
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 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 7 shows a typical PC board layout
for isolation of the crystal and oscillator from noise.

Address Map
Table 3 shows the address map for the DS1390–
DS1393 RTC and RAM registers. The RTC registers are
located in address locations 00h to 0Fh in read mode,
and 80h to 8Fh in write mode. During a multibyte
access, when the address pointer reaches 0Fh, it
wraps around to location 00h. On the falling edge of the
CS pin (DS1390/DS1391/DS1394) or the rising edge of
CE (DS1392/DS1393), the current time is transferred to
a second set of registers. The time information is read
from these secondary registers, while the clock may
continue to run. This eliminates the need to re-read the
registers if the main registers update during a read. To
avoid rollover issues when writing to the time and date
registers, all registers should be written before the hun-
dredths-of-seconds registers reaches 99 (BCD).
When reading from the hundredths of seconds register,
there is a possibility that the data transfer happens at the
same time as an increment of the register. If this occurs,
the data in the buffer may be incorrect. The chances of
this happening is approximately 170ppb. There are two
ways to deal with this.
The first method is to synchronize enabling the device
(CE or CS) with the square wave or interrupt output
(DS1390–DS1394). Enabling the device, either after
detecting the falling edge of the interrupt output or the
rising edge of the square-wave output, ensures that the
two events are not simultaneous.
The second method is to read the hundredths of sec-
onds register until the data for two consecutive reads
match. With this method, the master must be able to
read the register at least twice within the 10ms update
period of the hundredths of seconds register.
Either of the described methods ensures that the data in
all the registers is correct. If the hundredths of seconds
register is not used, it is also possible for the same prob-
lem to occur when reading the seconds register. The
probability of an error is inversely proportional to the rate
of the register's update frequency in relation to the hun-
dredth of seconds register, so the error rate for the sec-
onds register would be approximately 1.7ppb. The same
methods used for the hundredth of seconds register
would be used for the seconds register.

Hundredths-of-Seconds
Generator
The hundredths-of-seconds generator circuit shown in
the functional diagram is a state machine that divides
the incoming frequency (4096Hz) by 41 for 24 cycles
and 40 for one cycle. This produces a 100Hz output
that is slightly off during the short term, and is exactly
correct every 250ms. The divide ratio is given by:
Ratio = [41 x 24 + 40 x 1] / 25 = 40.96
Thus, the long-term average frequency output is
exactly the desired 100Hz.
Clock and Calendar
The time and calendar information is obtained by read-
ing the appropriate register bytes. See Table 3 for the
RTC registers. The time and calendar are set or initial-
ized by writing the appropriate register bytes. The con-
tents of the time and calendar registers are in the bina-
ry-coded decimal (BCD) format. The day-of-week
register increments at midnight. 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 DS1390–DS1393 can
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 logic high being
PM. In the 24-hour mode, bit 5 is the second 10-hour
bit (20 to 23 hours). Changing the 12/24-hour mode-
select bit requires that the hours data be re-entered,
including the alarm register (if used). The century bit
(bit 7 of the month register) is toggled when the years
register overflows from 99 to 00.

Alarms
All five devices contain one time-of-day/date alarm.
Writing to registers 88h through 8Ch sets the alarm.
The alarm can be programmed (by the alarm enable
and INTCN bits of the control register) to activate the
SQW/INT or INT output on an alarm-match condition.
The alarm can activate the SQW/INT or INT output while
the device is running from VBACKUP if BBSQI is
enabled. Bit 7 of each of the time-of-day/date alarm
registers are mask bits (Table 4). When all the mask
bits for each alarm are logic 0, an alarm only occurs
when the values in the timekeeping registers 00h to 06h
match the values stored in the time-of-day/date alarm
registers. The alarms can also be programmed to
repeat every second, minute, hour, day, or date. Table
4 shows the possible settings. Configurations not listed
in the table result in illogical operation.
The DY/DT bits (bit 6 of the alarm day/date registers)
control whether the alarm value stored in bits 0 to 5 of
that register reflects the day of the week or the date of
the month. If DY/DT is written to logic 0, the alarm is the
result of a match with date of the month. If DY/DT is
written to a logic 1, the alarm is the result of a match
with day of the week.
When the RTC register values match alarm register set-
tings, the alarm-flag (AF) bit is set to logic 1. If the
alarm-interrupt enable (AIE) is also set to logic 1 and
the INTCN bit is set to logic 1, the alarm condition acti-
vates the SQW/INT signal.
Since the contents of register 08h are expected to nor-
mally contain a match value of 00–99 decimal, the
codes F[0–9], and FF have been used to tell the part to
mask the tenths or hundredths of seconds accordingly.
Power-Up/Down, Reset, and
Pushbutton Reset Functions
A precision temperature-compensated reference and
comparator circuit monitors the status of VCC. When an
out-of-tolerance condition occurs, an internal power-fail
signal is generated that blocks read/write access to the
device and forces the RST pin (DS1391/DS1393 only)
low. When VCC returns to an in-tolerance condition, the
internal power-fail signal is held active for tRST to allow
the power supply to stabilize, and the RST (DS1391/
DS1393 only) pin is held low. If the EOSC bit is set to
logic 1 (to disable the oscillator in battery-backup
mode), the internal power-fail signal and the RST pin is
kept active for tRST plus the startup time of the oscillator.
The DS1391/DS1393 provide for a pushbutton switch to
be connected to the RST output pin. When the
DS1391/DS1393 are not in a reset cycle, it continuously
monitors the RST signal for a low-going edge. If an
edge is detected, the part debounces the switch by
pulling the RST pin low and inhibits read/write access.
After PBDB has expired, the part continues to monitor
the RST line. If the line is still low, it continues to monitor
the line looking for a rising edge. Upon detecting
release, the part forces the RST pin low and holds it low
for an additional PBDB.

Bit 7: Enable Oscillator (EOSC). When set to logic 0,
this bit starts the oscillator. When this bit is set to logic
1, the oscillator is stopped whenever the device is pow-
ered by VBACKUP. The oscillator is always enabled
when VCC is valid. This bit is enabled (logic 0) when
VCC is first applied.
Bit 5: Battery-Backed Square-Wave and Interrupt
Enable (BBSQI). This bit when set to logic 1 enables the
square wave or interrupt output when VCC is absent and
the DS1390/DS1392/DS1393/DS1394 are being pow-
ered by the VBACKUP pin. When BBSQI is logic 0, the
SQW/INT pin (or SQW and INT pins) goes high imped-
ance when VCC falls below the power-fail trip point. This
bit is disabled (logic 0) when power is first applied.
Bits 4 and 3: Rate Select (RS2 and RS1). These bits
control the frequency of the square-wave output when
the square wave has been enabled. The table below
shows the square-wave frequencies that can be select-
ed with the RS bits. These bits are both set to logic 1
(32kHz) when power is first applied.
Bit 2: Interrupt Control (INTCN). This bit controls the
SQW/INT signal. When the INTCN bit is set to logic 0, a
square wave is output on the SQW/INT pin. The oscilla-
tor must also be enabled for the square wave to be out-
put. When the INTCN bit is set to logic 1, a match
between the timekeeping registers and either of the
alarm registers then activates the SQW/INT (provided
the alarm is also enabled). The corresponding alarm
flag is always set, regardless of the state of the INTCN
bit. The INTCN bit is set to logic 0 when power is first
applied.
Bit 0: Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE). When set to logic
1, this bit permits the alarm flag (AF) bit in the status
register to assert SQW/INT (when INTCN = 1). When
the AIE bit is set to logic 0 or INTCN is set to logic 0,
the AF bit does not initiate the SQW/INT signal. The AIE
bit is disabled (logic 0) when power is first applied.

Bit 7: Oscillator Stop Flag (OSF). A logic 1 in this bit
indicates that the oscillator has stopped or was
stopped for some time and may be used to judge the
validity of the clock and calendar data. This bit is
edge-triggered and is set to logic 1 when the internal
circuitry senses the oscillator has transitioned from a
normal run state to a STOP condition. 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 and VBACKUP is
insufficient to support oscillation.
3) The EOSC bit is turned off.
4) External influences on the crystal (i.e., noise,
leakage, etc.).
This bit remains at logic 1 until written to logic 0. This
bit can only be written to logic 0. Attempting to write
OSF to logic 1 leaves the value unchanged.
Bit 6: Alarm Flag (AF). A logic 1 in the AF bit indicates
that the time matched the alarm registers. If the AIE bit
The INTCN bit used in the DS1390/DS1393/DS1394

Trickle-Charge Register (0F/8Fh)
The simplified schematic in Figure 8 shows the basic
components of the trickle charger. The trickle-charge
select (TCS) bits (bits 4 to 7) control the selection of
the trickle charger. To prevent accidental enabling,
only a pattern on 1010 enables the trickle charger. All
other patterns disable the trickle charger. The trickle
charger is disabled when power is first applied. The
diode-select (DS) bits (bits 2 and 3) select whether or
not a diode is connected between VCC and VBACKUP.
If DS is 01, no diode is selected or if DS is 10, a diode
is selected. The ROUT bits (bits 0 and 1) select the
value of the resistor connected between VCC and
VBACKUP. Table 5 shows the resistor selected by the
resistor-select (ROUT) bits and the diode selected by
the diode-select (DS) bits.

The user determines diode and resistor selection
according to the maximum current desired for battery
or super cap charging. The maximum charging current
can be calculated as illustrated in the following exam-
ple. Assume that a system power supply of 3.3V is
applied to VCC and a super cap is connected to
VBACKUP. Also, assume that the trickle charger has
been enabled with a diode and resistor R2 between
VCC and VBACKUP. The maximum current IMAX would
therefore be calculated as follows:
IMAX = (3.3V - diode drop) / R2 (3.3V - 0.7V) /
2kΩ≈1.3mA
As the super cap changes, the voltage drop between
VCC and VBACKUP decreases and therefore the charge
current decreases.

SPI Serial-Data Bus
The DS1390/DS1391/DS1394 provide a 4-wire SPI seri-
al-data bus to communicate in systems with an SPI host
controller. The DS1390/DS1391 support SPI modes 1
and 3, while the DS1394 supports SPI modes 0 and 2.
Both devices support single-byte and multiple-byte
data transfers for maximum flexibility. The DIN and
DOUT pins are the serial-data input and output pins,
respectively. The CS input initiates and terminates a
data transfer. The SCLK pin synchronizes data move-
ment between the master (microcontroller) and the
slave (DS1390/DS1391) devices. The shift clock
(SCLK), which is generated by the microcontroller, is
active only during address and data transfer to any
device on the SPI bus. Input data (DIN) is latched on
the internal strobe edge and output data (DOUT) is
shifted out on the shift edge (Figure 9). There is one
clock for each bit transferred. Address and data bits
are transferred in groups of eight.
Address and data bytes are shifted MSB first into the
serial-data input (DIN) and out of the serial-data output
(DOUT). Any transfer requires the address of the byte
to specify a write or read, followed by one or more
bytes of data. Data is transferred out of the DOUT pin
for a read operation and into the DIN for a write opera-
tion (Figures 10 and 11).
The address byte is always the first byte entered after
CS is driven low. The most significant bit (W/R) of this
byte determines if a read or write takes place. If W/Ris
0, one or more read cycles occur. If W/Ris 1, one or
more write cycles occur.
Data transfers can occur one byte at a time or in multi-
ple-byte burst mode. After CS is driven low, an address
is written to the DS1390/DS1391/DS1394. After the
address, one or more data bytes can be written or
read. For a single-byte transfer, one byte is read or writ-
ten and then CS is driven high. For a multiple-byte
transfer, however, multiple bytes can be read or written
after the address has been written. Each read or write
cycle causes the RTC register address to automatically
increment. Incrementing continues until the device is
disabled. The address wraps to 00h after incrementing
to 0Fh (during a read) and wraps to 80h after incre-
menting to 8Fh (during a write). Note, however, that an
updated copy of the time is only loaded into the user-
accessible copy upon the falling edge of CS. Reading
the RTC registers in a continuous loop does not show
the time advancing.

3-Wire Serial-Data Bus
The DS1392/DS1393 provide a 3-wire serial-data bus,
and support both single-byte and multiple-byte data
transfers for maximum flexibility. The I/O pin is the seri-
al-data input/output pin. The CE input is used to initiate
and terminate a data transfer. The SCLK pin is used to
synchronize data movement between the master
(microcontroller) and the slave (DS1392/DS1393)
devices. Input data is latched on the SCLK rising edge
and output data is shifted out on the SCLK falling edge.
There is one clock for each bit transferred. Address
and data bits are transferred in groups of eight.
Address and data bytes are shifted LSB first into the
I/O pin. Data is transferred out LSB first on the I/O pin
for a read operation.
The address byte is always the first byte entered after
CE is driven high. The MSB (W/R) of this byte deter-
mines if a read or write takes place. If W/Ris 0, one or
more read cycles occur. If W/Ris 1, one or more write
cycles occur.
Data transfers can be one byte at a time or in multiple-
byte burst mode. After CE is driven high, an address is
written to the DS1392/DS1393. After the address, one
or more data bytes can be written or read. For a single-
byte transfer, one byte is read or written and then CE is
driven low (Figures 13 and 14). For a multiple-byte
transfer, however, multiple bytes can be read or written
after the address has been written (Figure 15). Each
read or write cycle causes the RTC register address to
automatically increment. Incrementing continues until
the device is disabled. The address wraps to 00h after
incrementing to 0Fh (during a read) and wraps to 80h
after incrementing to 8Fh (during a write). Note, howev-
er, that an updated copy of the time is only loaded into
the user-accessible copy upon the rising edge of CE.
Reading the RTC registers in a continuous loop does
not show the time advancing.
