• Manufacturer Part Number: DS1307
• Description: The DS1307 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power, full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM
• Manufacturer: Maxim

I
The DS1307 supports the I
device receiving data as a receiver. The device that controls the message is called a master. The devices that are
controlled by the master are referred to as slaves. The bus must be controlled by a master device that generates
the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the START and STOP conditions. The DS1307
operates as a slave on the I
Figures 3, 4, and 5 detail how data is transferred on the I

Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been defined:

C DATA BUS
Data transfer can be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
During data transfer, the data line must remain stable whenever the clock line is HIGH. Changes in the data
line while the clock line is high will be interpreted as control signals.
Bus not busy: Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
START data transfer: A change in the state of the data line, from HIGH to LOW, while the clock is HIGH,
defines a START condition.
STOP data transfer: A change in the state of the data line, from LOW to HIGH, while the clock line is HIGH,
defines the STOP condition.
Data valid: The state of the data line represents valid data when, after a START condition, the data line is
stable for the duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal. The data on the line must be changed during the
LOW period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition and terminated with a STOP condition. The number of
data bytes transferred between START and STOP conditions is not limited, and is determined by the master
device. The information is transferred byte-wise and each receiver acknowledges with a ninth bit. Within the
I
The DS1307 operates in the standard mode (100kHz) only.
Acknowledge: Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte. The master device must generate an extra clock pulse which is associated with this
acknowledge bit.
A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a way
that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of course,
setup and hold times must be taken into account. A master must signal an end of data to the slave by not
generating an acknowledge bit on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case, the slave
must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate the STOP condition.
