C-Bus Real-Time Clock ICs

with Voltage Monitoring Function

9.Jun.99

Preliminary

1. OUTLINE

The RV5C386A is a CMOS real-time clock IC connected to the CPU by two signal lines, SCL and SDA, and
configured to perform serial transmission of time and calendar data to the CPU. The periodic interrupt circuit
is configured to generate interrupt signals with six selectable interrupts ranging from 0.5 seconds to 1 month.
The 2 alarm interrupt circuits generate interrupt signals at preset times. As the oscillation circuit is driven
under constant voltage, fluctuation of the oscillator frequency due to supply voltage is small, and the time
keeping current is small (TYP. 0.35

A at 3 volts). The oscillation halt sensing circuit can be used to judge

the validity of internal data in such events as power-on; The supply voltage monitoring circuit is configured to
record a drop in supply voltage below two selectable supply voltage monitoring threshold settings. The 32-
kHz clock output function (CMOS output) is intended to output sub-clock pulses for the external
microcomputer. The 32-kHz clock output can be disabled by certain input pin. The oscillation adjustment
circuit is intended to adjust time counts with high precision by correcting deviations in the oscillation frequency
of the crystal oscillator. This model comes in an ultra-compact SSOP10G (Pin Pitch 0.5mm, Height1.2mm,
4.0mm

2.9mm).

12. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
(1) Interface with CPU

The RV5C386A is connected to the CPU by two signal lines SCL and SDA, through which it reads and writes
data from and to the CPU. Since the output of the I/O pin of SDA is open drain, data interfacing with a CPU
different supply voltage is possible by applying pull-up resistors on the circuit board. The maximum clock
frequency of 400kHz (at VDD

2.5V) of SCL enables data transfer in I

C-Bus fast mode.

(2) Clock and Calendar Function

The RV5C386A reads and writes time data from and to the CPU in units ranging from seconds to the last two
digits of the calendar year. The calendar year will automatically be identified as a leap year when its last two
digits are a multiple of 4. Also available is the 1900 / 2000 identification bit for Year 2000 compliance.
Consequently, leap years up to the year 2099 can automatically be identified as such.

*) The year 2000 is a leap year while the year 2100 is not a leap year.

(3) Alarm Function

The RV5C386A incorporates the alarm interrupt circuit configured to generate interrupt signals to the CPU at
preset times. The alarm interrupt circuit allows two types of alarm settings specified by the Alarm_W
registers and the Alarm_D registers. The Alarm_W registers allow week, hour, and minute alarm settings
including combinations of multiple day-of-week settings such as "Monday, Wednesday, and Friday" and
"Saturday and Sunday". The Alarm_D registers allow hour and minute alarm settings. The Alarm_W
outputs from /INTRB pin, and the Alarm_D outputs from /INTRA pin. The current /INTRA or /INTRB
conditions specified by the flag bits for each alarm function can be checked from the CPU by using a polling
function.

(4) High-precision Oscillation Adjustment Function

The RV5C386A has built-in oscillation stabilization capacitors (CG and CD), which can be connected to an
external crystal oscillator to configure an oscillation circuit. To correct deviations in the oscillation frequency
of the crystal oscillator, the oscillation adjustment circuit is configured to allow correction of a time count gain
or loss (up to

1.5 ppm at 25

C) from the CPU within a maximum range of approximately + 189 ppm in

increments of approximately 3 ppm. Such oscillation frequency adjustment in each system has the following
advantages:
* Allows timekeeping with much higher precision than conventional RTCs while using a crystal oscillator with

a wide range of precision variations.

* Corrects seasonal frequency deviations through seasonal oscillation adjustment.
* Allows timekeeping with higher precision particularly with a temperature sensing function out of RTC,

through oscillation adjustment in tune with temperature fluctuations.

(5) Oscillation Halt Sensing Function and Supply Voltage Monitoring Function

The RV5C386A incorporates an oscillation halt sensing circuit equipped with internal registers configured to
record any past oscillation halt, thereby identifying whether they are powered on from 0 volts or battery
backed-up. As such, the oscillation halt sensing circuit is useful for judging the validity of time data.
The RV5C386A also incorporates a supply voltage monitoring circuit equipped with internal registers
configured to record any drop in supply voltage below a certain threshold value. Supply voltage monitoring
threshold settings can be selected between 2.1 and 1.6 volts through internal register settings. The
oscillation halt sensing circuit is configured to confirm the established invalidation of time data in contrast to
the supply voltage monitoring circuit intended to confirm the potential invalidation of time data. Further, the
supply voltage monitoring circuit can be applied to battery supply voltage monitoring.

12345

- 8 -

(6) Periodic Interrupt Function

The RV5C386A incorporates the periodic interrupt circuit configured to generate periodic interrupt signals
aside from interrupt signals generated by the alarm interrupt circuit for output from the /INTRA pin. Periodic
interrupt signals have five selectable frequency settings of 2 Hz (once per 0.5 seconds), 1 Hz (once per 1
second), 1/60 Hz (once per 1 minute), 1/3600 Hz (once per 1 hour), and monthly (the first day of every month).
Further, periodic interrupt signals also have two selectable waveforms, a normal pulse form (with a frequency
of 2 Hz or 1 Hz) and special form adapted to interruption from the CPU in the level mode (with second,
minute, hour, and month interrupts). The condition of periodic interrupt signals can be monitored by using a
polling function.

(7) 32kHz Clock Output

The RV5C386A incorporates a 32-kHz clock circuit configured to generate clock pulses with the oscillation
frequency of a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator for output from the 32KOUT pin (CMOS push-pull output). The
32-kHz clock output is enabled and disabled when the CLKC pin is held high, and low or open, respectively.

(Increment of second counter)

In the pulse mode, the increment of the second counter is delayed by approximately 92

s from the falling edge of

clock pulses. Consequently, time readings immediately after the falling edge of clock pulses may appear to lag
behind the time counts of the real-time clocks by approximately 1 second. Rewriting the second counter will
reset the other time counters of less than 1 second, driving the /INTRA pin low.

*2) Level Mode: Periodic interrupt signals are output with selectable interrupt cycle settings of 1 second, 1

minute, 1 hour, and 1 month. The increment of the second counter is synchronized with the
falling edge of periodic interrupt signals. For example, periodic interrupt signals with an
interrupt cycle setting of 1 second are output in synchronization with the increment of the second
counter as illustrated in the timing chart below.

(4) XSTP

Oscillation Halt Sensing Bit

XSTP

Description

Sensing a normal condition of oscillation

Sensing a halt of oscillation

(Default)

The XSTP bit is for sensing a halt in the oscillation of the crystal oscillator.

The XSTP bit will be set to 1 once a halt in the oscillation of the crystal oscillator is caused by such events as
power-on from 0 volts and a drop in supply voltage. The XSTP bit will hold the setting of 1 even after the
restart of oscillation. As such, the XSTP bit can be applied to judge the validity of clock and calendar data
after power-on or a drop in supply voltage.

When the XSTP bit is set to 1, all bits will be reset to 0 in the Oscillation Adjustment Register, Control Register
1, and Control Register 2, stopping the output from /INTRA and /INTRB pins and starting the output of
32.768-kHz clock pulses from the 32KOUT pin.

The XSTP bit accepts only the writing of 0, which restarts the oscillation halt sensing circuit. Conversely,
setting the XSTP bit to 1 causes no event.

It is recommendable to frequently check the XSTP bit for setting errors or data garbles, which may seriously
affect the operation of the RV5C386A.

Therefore, such incorrect writing should be replaced with the writing of existent time data.

F6 to F0 bits

The Oscillation Adjustment Circuit is configured to change time counts of 1 second on the basis of the settings
of

the Oscillation Adjustment Register when the second digits read 00, 20, or 40 seconds. Normally, the Second

Counter is incremented once per 32768 32.768-kHz clock pulses generated by the crystal oscillator. Writing to

the F6 to F0 bits activates the oscillation adjustment circuit.

* The Oscillation Adjustment Circuit will not operate with the same

timing (00, 20, or 40 seconds)

as the timing of writing to the Oscillation Adjustment Register.

* The F6 bit setting of 0 causes an increment of time counts by ((F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, F0) - 1) x 2.

The F6 bit setting of 1 causes a decrement of time counts by ((/F5, /F4, /F3, /F2, /F1, /F0) + 1) x 2.

The settings of "*, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, *" ("*" representing either "0" or "1") in the F6, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, and F0

bits cause neither an increment nor decrement of time counts.

Example:

When the second digits read 00, 20, or 40, the settings of "0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1" in the F6, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, and F0
bits cause an increment of the current time counts of 32768 by (7 - 1) x 2 to 32780 (a current time count loss).
When the second digits read 00, 20, or 40, the settings of "0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1" in the F6, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, and F0
bits cause neither an increment nor a decrement of the current time counts of 32768.

When the second digits read 00, 20, or 40, the settings of "1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0" in the F6, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, and F0
bits cause a decrement of the current time counts of 32768 by (- 2) x 2 to 32764 (a current time count gain).

An increase of two clock pulses once per 20 seconds causes a time count loss of approximately 3 ppm (2 / (32768
x 20 = 3.051 ppm). Conversely, a decrease of two clock pulses once per 20 seconds causes a time count gain of
3 ppm. Consequently, deviations in time counts can be corrected with a precision of

1.5 ppm. Note that the

oscillation adjustment circuit is configured to correct deviations in time counts and not the oscillation frequency of
the 32.768-kHz clock pulses. For further details, see "14. 2. 4. Oscillation Adjustment Circuit".

USAGE

14.1.

Interfacing with the CPU

The RV5C386A employs the I

C-Bus system to be connected to the CPU via 2-wires. Connection and

system of I

C-Bus are described in the following sections.

14.1.1. Connection of I

C-Bus

2-wires, SCL and SDA pins that are connected to I2C-Bus are used for transmit clock pulses and data
respectively. All ICs that are connected to these lines are designed that will not be clamped when a voltage
beyond supply voltage is applied to input or output pins. Open drain pins are used for output. This
construction allows communication of signals between ICs with different supply voltages by adding a pull-up
resistor to each signal line as shown in the figure below. Each IC is designed not to affect SCL and SDA
signal lines when power to each of these is turned off separately.

VDD3

* When the master is one, the micro-

controller is ready for driving SCL to "H" and
Rp of SCL may not be required.

Cautions on determining Rp resistance,
(1) Dropping voltage at Rp due to sum of input current or output current at off conditions on each IC pin

connected to the I

C-Bus shall be adequately small.

(2) Rising time of each signal be kept short even when all capacity of the bus is driven.
(3) Current consumed in I

C-Bus is small compared to the consumption current permitted for the entire

system.

When all ICs connected to I

C-Bus are CMOS type, condition (1) may usually be ignored since input current

and off-state output current is extremely small for the many CMOS type ICs. Thus the maximum resistance
of Rp may be determined based on (2), while the minimum on (3) in most cases.
In actual cases a resistor may be place between the bus and input/output pins of each IC to improve noise
margins in which case the Rp minimum value may be determined by the resistance.
Consumption current in the bus to review (3) above may be expressed by the formula below:

Bus consumption current

(Sum of input current and off state output current of all devices in standby mode )

Bus standby duration

Bus stand-by duration + the Bus operation duration

+ Supply voltage

Bus operation duration

Rp resistance

(Bus stand-by duration + bus operation duration)

+ Supply voltage

Bus capacity

Charging/Discharging times per unit time

Operation of "

2" in the second member denominator in the above formula is derived from assumption that

"L" duration of SDA and SCL pins are the half of bus operation duration. "

2" in the numerator of the same

member is because there are two pins of SDA and SCL. The third member, (charging/discharging times per
unit time) means number of transition from "H" to "L" of the signal line.

PRELIMINARY RV5C386A

12345

- 19 -

Calculation example is shown below:
Pull-up resistor (Rp) = 10k

, Bus capacity = 50pF(both for SCL, SDA), Vdd=3v,

In a system with sum of input current and off-state output current of each pin = 0.1

C-Bus is used for 10ms every second while the rest of 990ms in the stand-by mode,

In this mode, number of transitions of the SCL pin from "H" to "L" state is 100 while SDA 50, every second.

Generally, the second member of the above formula is larger enough than the first and the third members,

14.1.2. Transmission System of I

(1) Start Condition and Stop Condition

In I

C-Bus, SDA must be kept at a certain state while SCL is at the "H" state during data transmission as

shown below.

SCL

SDA

tSU;DAT

tHD;DAT

The SCL and SDA pins are at the "H" level when no data transmission is made. Changing the SDA from "H" to

"L" when the SCL and the SDA are "H" activates the Start Condition and access is started. Changing the SDA
from "L" to "H" when the SCL is "H" activates Stop Condition and accessing stopped. Generation of Start and
Stop Conditions are always made by the master (see the figure below).

(2) Data transmission and its acknowledge

After Start condition is entered, data is transmitted by 1byte (8bits). Any bytes of data may be serially
transmitted. The receiving side will send an acknowledge signal to the transmission side each time 8bit data
is transmitted. The acknowledge signal is sent immediately after falling to "L" of SCL 8bit clock pulses of
data is transmitted, by releasing the SDA by the transmission side that has asserted the bus at that time and
by turning SDA to "L" by receiving side. When transmission of 1byte data next to preceding 1byte of data is
received the receiving side releases the SDA pin at falling edge of the SCL 9bit of clock pulses or when the
receiving side switches to the transmission side it starts data transmission. When the master is receiving
side, it generates no acknowledge signal after last 1byte of data from the slave to tell the transmitter that data

(3) Data Transmission Format in I

C-Bus

C-Bus has no chip enable signal line. In place of it, each device has a 7bit Slave Address allocated. The

first 1byte is allocated to this 7bit address and to the command (R/W) for which data transmission direction is
designated by the data transmission thereafter. 7bit address is sequentially transmitted from the MSB and 2
and after bytes are read, when 8bit is "H" and when write "L".
The Slave Address of the RV5C386A is specified at (0110010).
At the end of data transmission / receiving, Stop Condition is generated to complete transmission. However,
if start condition is generated without generating Stop Condition, Repeated Start Condition is met and
transmission / receiving data may be continue by setting the Slave Address again. Use this procedure when
the transmission direction needs to be change during one transmission.

Data Transmission Write Format in the RV5C386A

Although the I

C-Bus standard defines a transmission format for the slave allocated for each IC, transmission

method of address information in IC is not defined. The RV5C386A transmits data the internal address
pointer (4bit) and the Transmission Format Register (4bit) at the 1byte next to one which transmitted a Slave
Address and a write command. For write operation only one transmission format is available and (0000) is
set to the Transmission Format Register. The 3byte transmits data to the address specified by the internal
address pointer written to the 2byte. Internal address pointer setting are automatically incremented for
4byte and after. Note that when the internal address pointer is Fh, it will change to 0h on transmitting the
next byte.

Data transmission read format of the RV5C386A

The RV5C386A allows the following three readout method of data an internal register.

1) The first method to reading data from the internal register is to specify an internal address by setting the

internal address pointer and the transmission format register described 14.1.3, generate the Repeated
Start Condition (See section 14.1.2-(3)) to change the data transmission direction to perform reading.
The internal address pointer is set to Fh when the Stop Condition is met. Therefore, this method of
reading allows no insertion of Stop Condition before the Repeated Start Condition. Set 0h to the
Transmission Format Register when this method used.

14.1.5. Data Transmission under Special Condition

The RV5C386A holds the clock tentatively for duration from Start Condition to avoid invalid read or write
clock on carrying clock. When clock carried during this period, which will be adjusted within approx. 61

from Stop Condition. To prevent invalid read or write, clock shall be made during one transmission
operation (from Start Condition to Stop Condition). When 0.5 to 1.0 second elapses after Start Condition,
any access to the RV5C386A is automatically released to release tentative hold of the clock, and access from
the CPU is forced to be terminated (The same action as made Stop Condition is received: automatic resume
function from I

C-Bus interface). Therefore, one access must be complete within 0.5 seconds. The

automatic resume function prevents delay in clock even if SCL is stopped from sudden failure of the system
during clock read operation.
Also a second Start Condition after the first Start Condition and before the Stop Condition is regarded
"Repeated Start Condition". Therefore, when 0.5 to 1.0 seconds passed after the first Start Condition, an
access to the RV5C386A is automatically released.
If access is tried after automatic resume function is activated, no acknowledge signal will be output for writing
while FFh will be output for reading.

The user shall always be able to access the real-time clock as long as three conditions are met.
(1) No Stop Condition shall be generated until clock read/write is started and completed.
(2) One cycle read/write operation shall be complete within 0.5 seconds.
(3) Do not make Start Condition within 61

s from Stop Condition. When clock is carried during the access,

which will be adjusted within approx. 61

s from Stop Condition.

Configuration of Oscillation Circuit and Correction of Time Count Deviations

14.2.1. Configuration of Oscillation Circuit

OSCIN

OSCOUT

VDD

32kHz

The oscillation circuit is driven at a constant voltage of approximately 1.2 volts relative to the level of the VSS
pin input. As such, it is configured to generate an oscillating waveform with a peak-to-peak voltage on the
order of 1.2 volts on the positive side of the VSS pin input.

< Considerations in Handling Crystal Oscillators >
Generally, crystal oscillators have basic characteristics including an equivalent series resistance (R1)
indicating the ease of their oscillation and a load capacitance (CL) indicating the degree of their center
frequency. Particularly, crystal oscillators intended for use in the RV5C386A are recommended to have a
typical R1 value of 30k

and a typical CL value of 6 to 8pF. To confirm these recommended values,

contact the manufacturers of crystal oscillators intended for use in these particular models.

< Considerations in Installing Components around the Oscillation Circuit >
1) Install the crystal oscillator in the closest possible vicinity to the real-time clock ICs.
2) Avoid laying any signal lines or power lines in the vicinity of the oscillation circuit (particularly in the area

marked "A" in the above figure).

3) Apply the highest possible insulation resistance between the OSCIN and OSCOUT pins and the printed

circuit board.

4) Avoid using any long parallel lines to wire the OSCIN and OSCOUT pins.
5) Take extreme care not to cause condensation, which leads to various problems such as oscillation halt.

< Other Relevant Considerations >
1) For external input of 32.768-kHz clock pulses to the OSCIN pin:

DC coupling: Prohibited due to an input level mismatch.
AC coupling: Permissible except that the oscillation halt sensing circuit does not guarantee perfect

operation because it may cause sensing errors due to such factors as noise.

2) To maintain stable characteristics of the crystal oscillator, avoid driving any other IC through 32.768-kHz

clock pulses output from the OSCOUT pin.

* 1) Generally, crystal oscillators for commercial use are classified in terms of their center frequency depending

on their load capacitance (CL) and further divided into ranks on the order of

10,

20, and

50ppm

depending on the degree of their oscillation frequency variations.

5 to

10ppm at

normal temperature.

affected by the temperature characteristics and other properties of crystal oscillators.

RV5C386A PRELIMINARY

Course (A)
When the time count precision of each RTC is not to be adjusted, the crystal oscillator intended for use in that
RTC may have any CL value requiring no presetting. The crystal oscillator may be subject to frequency
variations which are selectable within the allowable range of time count precision. Several crystal oscillators
and RTCs should be used to find the center frequency of the crystal oscillators by the method described in
"14.2. 2. Measurement of Oscillation Frequency" and then calculate an appropriate oscillation adjustment
value by the method described in "14.2. 4. Oscillation Adjustment Circuit" for writing this value to the
RV5C386A.

Course (B)
When the time count precision of each RTC is to be adjusted within the oscillation frequency variations of the
crystal oscillator plus the frequency variations of the real-time clock ICs, it becomes necessary to correct
deviations in the time count of each RTC by the method described in "14.2.4. Oscillation Adjustment
Circuit". Such oscillation adjustment provides crystal oscillators with a wider range of allowable settings of
their oscillation frequency variations and their CL values. The real-time clock IC and the crystal oscillator
intended for use in that real-time clock IC should be used to find the center frequency of the crystal oscillator
by the method described in "14.2.2. Measurement of Oscillation Frequency" and then confirm the center
frequency thus found to fall within the range adjustable by the oscillation adjustment circuit before adjusting
the oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit. At normal temperature, the oscillation frequency of the
oscillator circuit can be adjusted by up to approximately

1.5ppm.

Course (C)
Course (C) together with Course (D) requires adjusting the time count precision of each RTC as well as the
frequency of 32.768-kHz clock pulses output from the 32KOUT pin. Normally, the oscillation frequency of
the crystal oscillator intended for use in the RTCs should be adjusted by adjusting the oscillation stabilizing
capacitors CG and CD connected to both ends of the crystal oscillator. The RV5C386A, which incorporate
the CG and the CD, require adjusting the oscillation frequency of the crystal oscillator through its CL value.
Generally, the relationship between the CL value and the CG and CD values can be represented by the
following equation:
CL = (CG

CD)/(CG + CD) + CS where "CS" represents the floating capacity of the printed circuit board.

The crystal oscillator intended for use in the RV5C386A is recommended to have the CL value on the order of
6 to 8pF. Its oscillation frequency should be measured by the method described in "14.2.2. Measurement
of Oscillation Frequency". Any crystal oscillator found to have an excessively high or low oscillation
frequency (causing a time count gain or loss, respectively) should be replaced with another one having a
smaller and greater CL value, respectively until another one having an optimum CL value is selected. In
this case, the bit settings disabling the oscillation adjustment circuit (see "14.2.4. Oscillation Adjustment
Circuit") should be written to the oscillation adjustment register.
Incidentally, the high oscillation frequency of the crystal oscillator can also be adjusted by adding an external
oscillation stabilization capacitor CGOUT as illustrated in the diagram below.

from 0 to 15 pF.

14.2.4. Oscillation Adjustment Circuit

The oscillation adjustment circuit can be used to correct a time count gain or loss with high precision by
varying the number of 1-second clock pulses once per 20 seconds. When such oscillation adjustment is not
to be made, the oscillation adjustment circuit can be disabled by writing the settings of "*, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, *" ("*"
representing "0" or "1") to the F6, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, and F0 bits in the oscillation adjustment circuit.
Conversely, when such oscillation adjustment is to be made, an appropriate oscillation adjustment value can
be calculated by the equation below for writing to the oscillation adjustment circuit.

(1) When Oscillation Frequency (* 1) Is Higher Than Target Frequency (* 2) (Causing Time Count Gain)

Oscillation adjustment value (*3) = (Oscillation frequency - Target Frequency + 0.1)

Oscillation frequency

3.051

(Oscillation Frequency Target Frequency)

10 + 1

* 1) Oscillation frequency:

Frequency of clock pulse output from the 32KOUT pin at normal temperature in the manner described in

"14.2.2. Measurement of Oscillation Frequency".

* 2) Target frequency:

Desired frequency to be set. Generally, a 32.768-kHz crystal oscillator has such temperature

characteristics as to have the highest oscillation frequency at normal temperature. Consequently, the
crystal oscillator is recommended to have target frequency settings on the order of 32.768 to 32.76810 kHz
(+3.05ppm relative to 32.768 kHz). Note that the target frequency differs depending on the environment or
location where the equipment incorporating the RTC is expected to be operated.

* 3) Oscillation adjustment value:

Value that is to be finally written to the F0 to F6 bits in the Oscillation Adjustment Register and is represented

in 7-bit coded decimal notation.

(2) When Oscillation Frequency Is Equal To Target Frequency (Causing Time Count neither Gain nor Loss)

Oscillation adjustment value = 0, +1, -64, or 63

(3) When Oscillation Frequency Is Lower Than Target Frequency (Causing Time Count Loss)

Oscillation adjustment value = (Oscillation frequency - Target Frequency)

Oscillation frequency

3.051

-6

(Oscillation Frequency Target Frequency)

Oscillation adjustment value calculations are exemplified below

(A) For an oscillation frequency = 32768.85Hz and a target frequency = 32768.05Hz

Oscillation adjustment value = (32768.85 - 32768.05 + 0.1) / (32768.85

3.051

-6

)

(32768.85 - 32768.05)

10 + 1

= 9.001

In this instance, write the settings (F6,F5,F4,F3,F2,F1,F0)=(0,0,0,1,0,0,1) in the oscillation adjustment

register. Thus, an appropriate oscillation adjustment value in the presence of any time count gain

represents a distance from 01h.

(B) For an oscillation frequency = 32763.95Hz and a target frequency = 32768.05Hz

Oscillation adjustment value = (32763.95 - 32768.05) / (32763.95

3.051

-6

)

(32763.95 - 32768.05)

= -41.015

-41

To represent an oscillation adjustment value of - 41 in 7-bit coded decimal notation, subtract 41 (29h)
from 128 (80h) to obtain 57h. In this instance, write the settings of (F6,F5,F4,F3,F2,F1,F0) =
(1,0,1,0,1,1,1) in the oscillation adjustment register. Thus, an appropriate oscillation adjustment value
in the presence of any time count loss represents a distance from 80h.

Oscillation adjustment involves an adjustment differential of approximately

1.5ppm from the target

frequency at normal temperature.

Notes:

1) Oscillation adjustment does not affect the frequency of 32.768-kHz clock pulses output from the 32KOUT pin.

2) Oscillation adjustment value range: When the oscillation frequency is higher than the target frequency

(causing a time count gain), an appropriate time count gain ranges from -3.05ppm to -189.2ppm with the
settings of "0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0" to "0, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1" written to the F6, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, and F0 bits in the
oscillation adjustment register, thus allowing correction of a time count gain of up to +189.2ppm. Conversely,
when the oscillation frequency is lower than the target frequency (causing a time count loss), an appropriate
time count gain ranges from +3.05ppm to +189.2ppm with the settings of "1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1" to "1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1,
0" written to the F6, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, and F0 bits in the oscillation adjustment register, thus allowing
correction of a time count loss of up to -189.2ppm.

Oscillation Halt Sensing and Supply Voltage Monitoring

The oscillation halt sensing circuit is configured to record a halt on oscillation by 32.768-kHz clock pulses.
The supply voltage monitoring circuit is configured to record a drop in supply voltage below a threshold
voltage of 2.1 or 1.6v. Both the flag bits of these circuits (i.e. the XSTP bit for the former and the VDET bit
for the latter) in the control register 2, are maintained "1" until they are reset by the setting of 0 in the same
bits.
When the XSTP bit is set to 1 for the oscillation halt sensing circuit, the VDET bit is reset to 0 for the supply
voltage monitoring circuit. The relationship between the XSTP and VDET bits is shown in the table below.

< Considerations in Using Oscillation Halt Sensing Circuit >
Be sure to prevent the oscillation halt sensing circuit from malfunctioning by preventing the following:

1) Instantaneous power-down on the VDD
2) Condensation on the crystal oscillator
3) On-board noise to the crystal oscillator
4) Applying to individual pins voltage exceeding their respective maximum ratings

In particular, note that the XSTP bit may fail to be set to 1 in the presence of any applied supply voltage as
illustrated below in such events as backup battery installation. Further, give special considerations to prevent
excessive chattering in the oscillation halt sensing circuit.

VDD

< Supply Voltage Sensing Circuit >

The Supply voltage monitoring circuit is configured to conduct a sampling operation during an interval of 7.8ms per
second to check for a drop in supply voltage below a threshold voltage of 2.1 or 1.6v for the VDSL bit setting of 0 (the
default setting) or 1, respectively, in the Control Register 2, thus minimizing supply current requirements as illustrated in

Alarm and Periodic Interrupt

The RV5C386A incorporates the alarm interrupt circuit and the periodic interrupt circuit that are configured to
generate alarm signals and periodic interrupt signals, respectively, for output from the /INTRA or /INTRB pins
as described below.

(1) Alarm Interrupt Circuit

The alarm interrupt circuit is configured to generate alarm signals for output from the /INTRA or /INTRB,
which is driven low (enabled) upon the occurrence of a match between current time read by the time counters
(the day-of-week, hour, and minute counters) and alarm time preset by the alarm registers (the Alarm_W
registers intended for the day-of-week, hour, and minute digit settings and the Alarm_D registers intended for
the hour and minute digit settings). The Alarm_W is output from the /INTRB, and the Alarm_D is output
from /INTRA.

(2) Periodic Interrupt Circuit

The periodic interrupt circuit is configured to generate either clock pulses in the pulse mode or interrupt
signals in the level mode for output from the /INTRA pin depending on the CT2, CT1, and CT0 bit settings in
the control register 1.

The above two types of interrupt signals are monitored by the flag bits (i.e. the WAFG, DAFG, and CTFG bits
in the Control Register 2) and enabled or disabled by the enable bits (i.e. the WALE, DALE, CT2, CT1, and
CT0 bits in the Control Register 1) as listed in the table below.

/INTRA and /INTRB pins are driven high (disabled).

* When two types of interrupt signals are output simultaneously from the /INTRA pin, the output from the

/INTRA pin becomes an OR waveform of their negative logic.

Example: Combined Output to /INTRA Pin Under Control of
/ALARM_D and Periodic Interrupt

Periodic Interrupt

/INTRA

/Alarm_D

In this event, which type of interrupt signal is output from the /INTRA pin can be confirmed by reading the DAFG,
and CTFG bit settings in the Control Register 2.

14.4.1. Alarm Interrupt

The alarm interrupt circuit is controlled by the enable bits (i.e. the WALE and DALE bits in the Control
Register 1) and the flag bits (i.e. the WAFG and DAFG bits in the Control Register 2). The enable bits can
be used to enable this circuit when set to 1 and to disable it when set to 0. When intended for reading, the
flag bits can be used to monitor alarm interrupt signals. When intended for writing, the flag bits will cause no
event when set to 1 and will drive high (disable) the alarm interrupt circuit when set to 0.
The enable bits will not be affected even when the flag bits are set to 0. In this event, therefore, the alarm
interrupt circuit will continue to function until it is driven low (enabled) upon the next occurrence of a match
between current time and preset alarm time.

PRELIMINARY RV5C386A

12345

- 33 -

The alarm function can be set by presetting desired alarm time in the alarm registers (the Alarm_W Registers
for the day-of-week digit settings and both the Alarm_W Registers and the Alarm_D Registers for the hour
and minute digit settings) with the WALE and DALE bits once set to 0 and then to 1 in the Control Register 1.
Note that the WALE and DALE bits should be once set to 0 in order to disable the alarm interrupt circuit upon
the coincidental occurrence of a match between current time and preset alarm time in the process of setting
the alarm function.

14.4.2. Periodic Interrupt

Setting of the periodic selection bits (CT2 to CT0) enables periodic interrupt to the CPU. There are two
waveform modes: pulse mode and level mode. In the pulse mode, the output has a waveform duty cycle of
around 50%. In the level mode, the output is cyclically driven low and, when the CTFG bit is set to 0, the
output is return to High (OFF).

*3) This step is intended to read time data

from all the time counters only in the
first session of reading time data after
writing time data.

*4) This step is intended to set the CTFG

bit to 0 in the Control Register 2 to
cancel an interrupt to the CPU.

*2)

*1) This step is intended to once disable the alarm

interrupt circuit by setting the WALE or DALE bits to 0
in anticipation of the coincidental occurrence of a
match between current time and preset alarm time in
the process of setting the alarm interrupt function.

*2) This step is intended to enable the alarm interrupt

function after completion of all alarm interrupt
settings.

*3) This step is intended to once cancel the alarm

interrupt function by writing the settings of "X,1,X,
1,X,1,0,1" and "X,1,X,1,X,1,1,0" to the Alarm_W
Registers and the Alarm_D Registers, respectively.

*1) This step is intended to select the level mode as a

waveform mode for the periodic interrupt function.

*2) This step is intended to set the CTFG bit to 0 in the

Control Register 2 to cancel an interrupt to the
CPU.
