The DS1337 serial real-time clock is a low-power clock/calendar with two programmable time-of-day alarms and a programmable square-wave output. Address and data are transferred serially through an I²C bus. 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 the 24-hour or 12-hour format with AM/PM indicator.The device is fully accessible through the serial interface while VCC is between 1.8V and 5.5V. I²C operation is not guaranteed below 1.8V. Timekeeping operation is maintained with VCC as low as 1.3V.ApplicationsConsumer Electronics (Set-Top Box, VCR/Digital Recording)Handhelds (GPS, POS Terminal, MP3 Player)Medical (Glucometer, Medicine Dispenser)Office Equipment (Fax/Printer, Copier)Other (Utility Meter, Vending Machine, Thermostat, Modem)Telecommunications (Router, Switcher, Server)

The DS1340 is a real-time clock (RTC)/calendar that is pin compatible and functionally equivalent to the ST M41T00, including the software clock calibration. The device additionally provides trickle-charge capability on the VBACKUP pin, a lower timekeeping voltage, and an oscillator STOP flag. Block access of the register map is identical to the ST device. Two additional registers, which are accessed individually, are required for the trickle charger and flag. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. A built-in power-sense circuit detects power failures and automatically switches to the backup supply. The device is programmed serially through an I²C bidirectional bus.ApplicationsMedical EquipmentPoint-of-Sale EquipmentPortable InstrumentationTelecommunications

The DS1374 is a 32-bit binary counter designed to continuously count time in seconds. An additional counter generates a periodic alarm or serves as a watchdog timer. If disabled, this counter can be used as 3 bytes of nonvolatile (NV) RAM. Separate output pins are provided for an interrupt and a square wave at one of four selectable frequencies. A precision temperature-compensated reference and comparator circuit monitor the status of VCC to detect power failures, provide a reset output, and automatically switch to the backup supply when necessary.Additionally, the reset pin is monitored as a pushbutton input for externally generating a reset. The device is programmed serially through an I²C serial interface.ApplicationsMedical EquipmentPoint-of-Sale EquipmentPortable InstrumentationTelecommunications

The DS1388 I²C real-time clock (RTC), supervisor, and EEPROM is a multifunction device that provides a clock/calendar, programmable watchdog timer, power-supply monitor with reset, and 512 bytes of EEPROM. The clock provides hundredths of seconds, seconds, minutes, and hours, and operates in 24-hour or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator. The calendar provides 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. A watchdog timer provides a reset for an unresponsive microprocessor. It is programmable in 10ms intervals from 0.01 to 99.99 seconds. A temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator circuit monitors the status of VCC. If a primary power failure is detected, the device automatically switches to the backup supply and drives the reset output to the active state. The backup supply maintains time and date operation in the absence of VCC. When VCC returns to nominal levels, the reset is held low for a period to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize. The device also has a pushbutton reset controller, which debounces a reset input signal. The device is accessed through an I²C serial interface.ApplicationsNetwork-Interface CardsPoint-of-Sale EquipmentPortable InstrumentationWireless Equipment

The low-voltage serial-peripheral interface (SPI™) DS1390/DS1391/DS1394 and the low-voltage 3-wire DS1392/DS1393 real-time clocks (RTCs) are clocks/calendars that provide hundredths of a second, seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information.

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/active-low INT pin with an active-low 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 separate interrupt pin or an active-low RST output/debounced input.All five devices are available in a 10-pin µSOP package, and are rated over the industrial temperature range.ApplicationsEmbedded Time StampingGPS/Telematics DevicesHandheld DevicesMedical Devices
