LV8573M Datasheet | National Semiconductor

Description The LV8573A is intended for use in microprocessor based systems where information is required for multi-tasking data logging or general time of day date information This device is implemented in low voltage silicon gate micro CMOS technology to provide low standby power in battery back-up environments The circuit’s architecture is such that it looks like a contiguous block of memory or I O ports organized as one block of 32 bytes This includes the Control Registers the Clock Counters the Alarm pare RAM and the Time Save RAM Time and date are maintained from 1 100 of a second to year and leap year in a BCD format 12 or 24 hour modes Day of week and day of month counters are provided Time is controlled by an on-chip crystal oscillator requiring only the addition of the 32 768 k Hz crystal and two capacitors Power failure logic and control functions have been integrated on chip This logic is used by the RTC to issue a power fail interrupt and lock out the m P interface The time power fails may be logged into RAM automatically when VBB l VCC Additionally two supply pins are provided When VBB l VCC internal circuitry will automatically switch from the main supply to the battery supply The LV8573A’s interrupt structure provides three basic types of interrupts Periodic Alarm pare and Power Fail Interrupt mask and status registers enable the masking and easy determination of each interrupt Features 3 3V g 10% supply Full function real time clock calendar 12 24 hour mode timekeeping Day of week counter Parallel resonant oscillator Power fail features Internal power supply switch to external battery Power Supply Bus glitch protection Automatic log of time into RAM at power failure On-chip interrupt structure Periodic alarm and power fail interrupts Block Diagram TL F 11418 - 1 FIGURE 1 TRI-STATE is a registered trademark of National Semiconductor Corporation C1995 National Semiconductor Corporation TL F 11418 RRD-B30M105 Printed in U S A Absolute...
