Low Average Active Power
CMOS technology provides the CY14B101K the benefit of
drawing significantly less current when it is cycled at times longer
than 50 ns.

Real Time Clock Operation
nvTIME Operation
The CY14B101K offers internal registers that contain clock,
alarm, watchdog, interrupt, and control functions. Internal double
buffering of the clock and the clock or timer information registers
prevents accessing transitional internal clock data during a
READ or WRITE operation. Double buffering also circumvents
disrupting normal timing counts or clock accuracy of the internal
clock while accessing clock data. Clock and Alarm Registers
store data in BCD format.

Clock Operations
The clock registers maintain time up to 9,999 years in one
second increments. The user sets the time to any calendar time
and the clock automatically keeps track of days of the week,
month, leap years, and century transitions. There are eight
registers dedicated to the clock functions that are used to set
time with a WRITE cycle and to READ time during a READ cycle.
These registers contain the Time of Day in BCD format. Bits
defined as ‘0’ are currently not used and are reserved for future
use by Cypress.
Reading the Clock
While the double buffered RTC register structure reduces the
chance of reading incorrect data from the clock, halt internal
updates to the CY14B101K clock registers before reading clock
data to prevent the reading of data in transition. Stopping the
internal register updates does not affect clock accuracy. The
update process is stopped by writing a ‘1’ to the READ bit ‘R’ (in
the flags register at 0x1FFF0) and does not restart until a ‘0’ is
written to the READ bit. The RTC registers then READ when the
internal clock continues to run. Within 20 ms after a ‘0’ is written
to the READ bit, all CY14B101K registers are simultaneously
updated.
Setting the Clock
Setting the WRITE bit ‘W’ (in the flags register at 0x1FFF0) to a
‘1’ halts updates to the CY14B101K registers. The correct day,
date, and time are then written into the registers in 24 hour BCD
format. The time written is referred to as the ‘Base Time’. This
value is stored in nonvolatile registers and used in calculation of
the current time. Resetting the WRITE bit to ‘0’ transfers those
values to the actual clock counters, after which the clock
resumes normal operation.
Backup Power
The RTC in the CY14B101K is intended for permanently
powered operations. Either the V
connected depending on whether a capacitor or battery is
chosen for the application. When the primary power, V
and drops below V
power supply.
The clock oscillator uses very little current to maximize the
backup time available from the backup source. Regardless of
clock operation with the primary source removed, the data stored
in nvSRAM is secure, as it is stored in the nonvolatile elements
when power was lost.
During backup operation, the CY14B101K consumes a
maximum of 300 nA at 2V. According to the application, the user
chooses the capacitor or battery values.
Backup time values, based on maximum current specifications,
are shown in the following table. Nominal times are approxi-
mately three times longer.
