Description
The ABRACON AB18XX Real Time Clock with
Power Management family provides a
groundbreaking combination of ultra-low power
coupled with a highly sophisticated feature set. With
power requirements significantly lower than any
other industry RTC (as low as 14 nA), these are the
first semiconductors based on innovative SPOTTM
(Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology) CMOS
platform. The AB18XX includes on-chip oscillators to
provide minimum power consumption, full RTC
functions including battery backup and
programmable counters and alarms for timer and
watchdog functions, and either an I2C or SPI serial
interface for communication with a host controller. An
integrated power switch and a sophisticated system
sleep manager with counter, timer, alarm, and
interrupt capabilities allows the AM18XX to be used
as a supervisory component in a host microcontroller
based system.
Disclaimer: AB18XX series of devices are
based on innovative SPOT technology,
proprietary to Ambiq Micro.

2. Functional Description
Figure 1 illustrates the AB18XX functional design.
Figure 1. Detailed Block Diagram
AB18XX serves as a companion part for host processors including microcontrollers, radios, and digital
signal processors. It tracks time as in a typical RTC product and additionally provides unique power
management functionality that makes it ideal for highly energy-constrained applications. To support such
operation, the AB18XX includes 3 distinct feature groups: 1) baseline timekeeping features, 2) advanced
timekeeping features, and 3) power management features. Functions from each feature group may be
controlled via I/O offset mapped registers. These registers are accessed using either an I2C serial interface
(e.g., in the AB1805) or a SPI serial interface (e.g., in the AB1815). Each feature group is described briefly
below and in greater detail in subsequent sections.
The baseline timekeeping feature group supports the standard 32.786 kHz crystal (XT) oscillation mode for
maximum frequency accuracy with an ultra-low current draw of 55 nA. The baseline timekeeping feature
group also includes a standard set of counters monitoring hundredths of a second up through centuries. A

complement of countdown timers and alarms may additionally be set to initiate interrupts or resets on
several of the outputs.
The advanced timekeeping feature group supports two additional oscillation modes: 1) RC oscillator mode,
and 2) Autocalibration mode. At only 14 nA, the temperature-compensated RC oscillator mode provides an
even lower current draw than the XT oscillator for applications with reduced frequency accuracy
requirements. A proprietary calibration algorithm allows the AB18XX to digitally tune the RC oscillator
frequency and the XT oscillator frequency with accuracy as low as 2 ppm at a given temperature. In
Autocalibration mode, the RC oscillator is used as the primary oscillation source and is periodically
calibrated against the XT oscillator. Autocalibration may be done automatically every 8.5 minutes or 17
minutes and may also be initiated via software. This mode enables average current draw of only 22 nA
with frequency accuracy similar to the XT oscillator. The advanced timekeeping feature group also
includes a rich set of input and output configuration options that enables the monitoring of external
interrupts (e.g., pushbutton signals), the generation of clock outputs, and watchdog timer functionality.
Power management features built into the AB18XX enable it to operate as a backup device in both line-
powered and battery-powered systems. An integrated power control module automatically detects when
main power (VCC) falls below a threshold and switches to backup power (VBAT). Up to 256B of ultra-low
leakage RAM enable the storage of key parameters when operating on backup power. VBAT power
switching is included in the AB1803, AB1813, AB1813 and AB1815 parts only.
The AB18XX is the first RTC to incorporate a number of more advanced power management features. In
particular, the AB18XX includes a finite state machine (integrated with the Power Control block in Figure 1)
that can control a host processor as it transitions between sleep/reset states and active states. Digital
outputs can be configured to control the reset signal or interrupt input of the host controller. The AB18XX
additionally integrates a power switch with ~1 Ω impedance that can be used to cut off ground current on
the host microcontroller and reduce sleep current to <1 nA. The AB18XX parts can wake up a sleeping
system using internally generated timing interrupts or externally generated interrupts generated by digital
inputs (e.g., using a pushbutton) or an analog comparator. The aforementioned functionality enables users
to seamlessly power down host processors, leaving only the energy-efficient AB18XX chip awake. The
AB18XX also includes voltage detection on the backup power supply.

3. AB18XX Application Examples
The AB18XX enables a variety of system implementations in which the AB18XX can control power usage
by other elements in the system. This is typically used when the entire system is powered from a battery
and minimizing total power usage is critical. The backup RAM in the AB18XX can be used to hold key
MCU parameters when it is powered down.
3.1 VSS Power Switched
In the recommended implementation, the internal power switch of the AB18XX is used to completely turn
off the MCU and/or other system elements. In this case the PSW/nIRQ2 output is configured to generate
the Sleep function. Under normal circumstances, the PSW/nIRQ2pin is pulled to VSS with less than 1 ohm
of resistance, so that the MCU receives full power. The MCU initiates a SLP operation, and when the
AB18XX enters Sleep Mode the PSW/nIRQ2 pin is opened and power is completely removed from the
MCU. This results in significant additional power savings relative to the other alternatives. A variety of
interrupts, including alarms, timers and external interrupts created by a pushbutton as shown, may be used
to exit Sleep Mode and restore MCU power. The RAM of the AB18XX may be used to retain critical MCU
parameters.
3.2 VCC Power Switched
An external transistor switch T may also be used to turn off power to the MCU. This implementation allows
switching higher current and maintains a common ground. R can be on the order of megohms, so that
negligible current is drawn when the circuit is active and PSW/nIRQ2 is low.

3.3 Reset Driven
In another implementation the AB18XX controls the system MCU using the reset function rather than
switching power. Since many MCUs use much less power when reset, this implementation can save
system power in some cases.
3.4 Battery Backup
In many systems the main power supply is a battery, so the AB18XX can minimize its current draw by
powering down the MCU and other peripherals. This battery may be replaceable, and a supercapacitor
charged via the AB18XX trickle charger can maintain system time and key parameters when the main
battery is removed.

4. FOUT/nIRQ can drive the inverse of the alarm interrupt signal AIRQ (see Interrupts).
PSW/nIRQ2
Secondary interrupt output connection. It is an open drain output. PSW/nIRQ2 may be configured to
generate several signals as a function of the OUT2S field (see 0x11 - Control2). This pin will be config-
ured as an ~1 Ω switch if the PWR2 bit is set.
1. PSW/nIRQ2 can drive the value of the OUTB bit.
2. PSW/nIRQ2 can drive the square wave output (see 0x13 - SQW) if enabled by SQWE.

(1) Timing accuracy is specified at 25°C after digital calibration of the internal RC oscillator and 32.768 kHz crystal. A typical
32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal has a negative temperature coefficient with a parabolic frequency deviation, which can
result in a change of up to 150 ppm across the entire operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C in XT mode. Autocal-
ibration mode timing accuracy is specified relative to XT mode timing accuracy from -10°C to 60°C.
(2) Outside of this temperature range, the RC oscillator frequency change due to temperature may be outside of the allowable
RC digital calibration range (+/-12%) for autocalibration mode. When this happens, an autocalibration failure will occur
and the ACF interrupt flag is set. The AB18XX should be switched to use the XT oscillator as its clock source when this
occurs. Please see the Autocalibration Fail section for more details.

10. ABRACON CORPORATION – TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE
The following are the terms and conditions under which Abracon Corporation (“AB”) agrees to sell, to the
entity named on the face hereof (“Buyer”), the products specified on the face hereof (the “Products”).
Notwithstanding Buyer’s desire to use standardized RFQs, purchase order forms, order forms,
acknowledgment forms and other documents which may contain terms in addition to or at variance with
these terms, it is expressly understood and agreed that other forms shall neither add to, nor vary, these
terms whether or not these terms are referenced therein. Buyer may assent to these terms by written
acknowledgment, implication and/or by acceptance or payment of goods ordered any of which will
constitute assent.
1. Prices: Prices shown on the face hereof are in US dollars, with delivery terms specified herein and
are exclusive of any other charges including, without limitation, fees for export, special packaging,
freight, insurance and similar charges. AB reserves the right to increase the price of Products by writ-
ten notice to Buyer at least thirty (30) days prior to the original date of shipment. When quantity price
discounts are quoted by AB, the discounts are computed separately for each type of product to be
sold and are based upon the quantity of each type and each size ordered at any one time. If any dis-
counted order is reduced by Buyer with AB’s consent, the prices shall be adjusted to the higher prices,
if applicable, for the remaining order.
2. Taxes: Unless otherwise specified in the quotation, the prices do not include any taxes, import or
export duties, tariffs, customs charges or any such other levies. Buyer agrees to reimburse AB the
amount of any federal, state, county, municipal, or other taxes, duties, tariffs, or custom charges AB is
required to pay. If Buyer is exempt from any such charges, Buyer must provide AB with appropriate
documentation.
3. Payment Terms: For each shipment, AB will invoice Buyer for the price of the Products plus all appli-
cable taxes, packaging, transportation, insurance and other charges. Unless otherwise stated in a
separate agreement or in AB’s quotation, payments are due within thirty (30) days from the date of
invoice, subject to AB’s approval of Buyer’s credit application. All invoicing disputes must be submit-
ted in writing to AB within ten (10) days of the receipt of the invoice accompanied by a reasonably
detailed explanation of the dispute. Payment of the undisputed amounts shall be made timely. AB
reserves the right to require payment in advance or C.O.D. and otherwise modified credit terms.
When partial shipments are made, payments for such shipments shall become due in accordance
with the above terms upon submission of invoices. If, at the request of Buyer, shipment is postponed
for more than thirty (30) days, payment will become due thirty days after notice to Buyer that Products
are ready for shipment. Any unpaid due amounts will be subject to interest at one decimal five per-
cent (1.5%) per month, or, if less, the maximum rate allowed by law.
4. Delivery and Shipment: Shipment dates are estimates only. Failure to deliver by a specified date
shall neither entitle Buyer to any compensation nor impose any liability on AB. AB reserves the right
to ship and bill ten percent more or less than the exact quantity specified on the face hereof. All ship-
ments will be made Ex Works as per Incoterms 2000 from AB’s place of shipment. In the absence of
specific instructions, AB will select the carrier. Claims against AB for shortages must be made in writ-
ing within ten (10) days after the arrival of the shipment. AB is not required to notify Buyer of the ship-
ment. Buyer shall pay all freight charges, insurance and other shipping expenses. Freight charges,
insurance and other shipping expenses itemized in advance of actual shipment, if any, are estimates
only that are calculated on the basis of standard tariffs and may not reflect actual costs. Buyer must
pay actual costs.
5. Purchase Order Changes and Cancellations: Purchase orders for standard AB Products may not
be canceled within sixty (60) days of the original shipping date. Purchase orders for non-standard AB
Products are non-cancelable and non-returnable. All schedule changes must be requested at least
thirty (30) days prior to original shipping date. Maximum schedule change “push-out” shall be no
more than thirty (30) days from original shipping date. AB may terminate or cancel this order, in whole
or in part, at any time prior to the completion of performance by written notice to Buyer without incur-

ring any liability to Buyer for breach of contract or otherwise. AB reserves the right to allocate Prod-
ucts in its sole discretion among Buyer and other potential buyers, or defer or delay the shipment of
any Product, which is in short supply due to any reason.
6. Title and Risk of Loss: AB’s responsibility for any loss or damage ends, and title passes, when
Products are delivered Ex Works as per Incoterms 2000 at AB’s designated shipping location to car-
rier, to Buyer or to Buyer’s agent, whichever occurs first.
7. Packing: Packaging shall be AB’s standard shipping materials or as specified on the face hereof.
Any cost of non-standard packaging and handling requested by Buyer shall be abided by AB provided
Buyer gives reasonable prior notice and agrees in writing to pay additional costs.
8. Security Interest: Buyer hereby grants AB a purchase money security interest in the Products sold
and in the proceeds of resale of such Products until such time as Buyer has paid all charges. AB
retains all right and remedies available to AB under the Uniform Commercial Code.
9. Specifications: Specifications for each Product are the specifications specified in the published data-
sheets of such Product, as of the date of AB’s quotation (the “Specifications”). Except as otherwise
agreed, AB reserves the right to modify the Specifications at any time without adversely affecting the
functionality.
10. Acceptance: Unless Buyer notifies AB in writing within ten (10) days from the date of receipt of Prod-
ucts that the Products fail to conform to the Specifications, the Products will be deemed accepted by
Buyer. No such claim of non-conformity shall be valid if (i) the Products have been altered, modified
or damaged by Buyer, (ii) the rejection notice fails to explain the non-conformance in reasonable detail
and is not accompanied by a test report evidencing the non-conformity, or (iii) rejected Products are
not returned to AB within thirty (30) days of rejection; provided, that no Product returns may be made
without a return material authorization issued by AB.
11. Limited Warranties and Disclaimers: AB warrants to Buyer that each Product, for a period of twelve
(12) months from shipment date thereof, will conform to the Specifications and be free from defects in
materials and workmanship. AB’s sole liability and Buyer’s exclusive remedy for Products that fail to
conform to this limited warranty (“Defective Products”) is limited to repair or replacement of such
Defective Products, or issue a credit or rebate of no more than the purchase price of such Defective
Products, at AB’s sole option and election. This warranty shall not apply: (i) if Products have been
damaged or submitted to abnormal conditions (mechanical, electrical, or thermal) during transit, stor-
age, installation, or use; or (ii) if Products are subject to Improper Use (as defined below); or (iii) if the
non-conformance of Products results from misuse, neglect, improper testing, storage, installation,
unauthorized repair, alteration, or excess usage at or beyond the maximum values (temperature limit,
maximum voltage, and other Specification limits) defined by AB; (iv) to any other default not attribut-
able to AB; or (v) removal, alteration, or tampering of the original AB product labeling. This warranty
does not extend to Products or components purchased from entities other than AB or AB’s authorized
distributors or to third-party software or documentation that may be supplied with any Product. In the
event no defect or breach of warranty is discovered by AB upon receipt of any returned Product, such
Product will be returned to Buyer at Buyer’s expense and Buyer will reimburse AB for the transporta-
tion charges, labor, and associated charges incurred in testing the allegedly Defective Product. The
above warranty is for Buyer’s benefit only, and is non-transferable. OTHER THAN THE LIMITED
WARRANTY SET FORTH ABOVE, AB MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, STATUTORY,
IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO
THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE
FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS, AB INCORPORATES BY REFERENCE ANY PRODUCT-SPECIFIC
WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS SET FORTH IN THE PUBLISHED PRODUCT DATASHEETS.
12. Limitation of Liability: AB SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR LOSS ARISING FROM ANY CLAIM
MADE AGAINST BUYER, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, RELIANCE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUEN-
TIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF USE, PROFITS,
REVENUES, OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS BASED ON ANY BREACH

OR DEFAULT OF AB, HOWEVER CAUSED, AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY. BUYER’S
SOLE REMEDY AND AB’S SOLE AND TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CAUSE OF ACTION,
WHETHER IN CONTRACT (INCLUDING BREACH OF WARRANTY) OR TORT (INCLUDING NEG-
LIGENCE OR MISREPRESENTATION) OR UNDER STATUTE OR OTHERWISE SHALL BE LIM-
ITED TO AND SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNTS PAID BY BUYER TO AB FOR
PRODUCTS WHICH GIVE RISE TO CLAIMS. BUYER SHALL ALWAYS INFORM AB OF ANY
BREACH AND AFFORD AB REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO CORRECT ANY BREACH. THE
FOREGOING LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF WHETHER AB HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE FAILURE
OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY.
13. Improper Use: Buyer agrees and covenants that, without AB’s prior written approval, Products will
not be used in life support systems, human implantation, nuclear facilities or systems or any other
application where Product failure could lead to loss of life or catastrophic property damage (each such
use being an “Improper Use”). Buyer will indemnify and hold AB harmless from any loss, cost, or
damage resulting from Improper Use of the Products.
14. Miscellaneous: In the event of any insolvency or inability to pay debts as they become due by Buyer,
or voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against Buyer, or appointment of a receiver or
assignee for the benefit of creditors of Buyer, AB may elect to cancel any unfulfilled obligations. No
Products or underlying information or technology may be exported or re-exported, directly or indi-
rectly, contrary to US law or US Government export controls. AB will be excused from any obligation
to the extent performance thereof is caused by, or arises in connection with, acts of God, fire, flood,
riots, material shortages, strikes, governmental acts, disasters, earthquakes, inability to obtain labor
or materials through its regular sources, delay in delivery by AB’s supplies or any other reason beyond
the reasonable control of AB. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained herein shall for
any reason be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof and these terms shall be construed as if
such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. A waiver of a
breach or default under these terms shall not be a waiver of any subsequent default. Failure of AB to
enforce compliance with any of these terms shall not constitute a waiver of such terms. These terms
are governed by the laws of the State of California without reference to conflict of law principles. The
federal and state courts located within the State of California will have exclusive jurisdiction to adjudi-
cate any dispute arising out of these terms.
