• Description: (DS17486 / DS17487) 3V/5V Real-Time Clock
• Manufacturer: Dallas

DS17485/DS17487
can be used to determine if and how many RTC writes have occurred since the last time this register was
read.
Auxiliary Battery
The V
input is provided to supply power from an auxiliary battery for the DS17485/DS17487
BAUX
kickstart, wake-up, and SQW output features in the absence of V
. This power source must be available
CC
in order to use these auxiliary features when no V
is applied to the device.
CC
The auxiliary-battery-enable (ABE; bank 1, register 04BH) bit in extended control register 4B is used to
turn the auxiliary battery on and off for the above functions in the absence of V
. When set to a 1, V
CC
BAUX
battery power is enabled; when cleared to 0, V
battery power is disabled to these functions.
BAUX
In the DS17485/DS17487, this auxiliary battery can be used as the primary backup power source for
maintaining the clock/calendar, user RAM, and extended external RAM functions. This occurs if the
V
pin is at a lower voltage than V
. If the DS17485 is to be backed-up using a single battery with
BAT
BAUX
the auxiliary features enabled, then V
should be used and V
should be grounded. If V
is not
BAUX
BAT
BAUX
to be used, it should be grounded and ABE should be cleared to 0.
Wake-Up/Kickstart
The DS17485/DS17487 incorporates a wake-up feature that powers on the system at a predetermined
date and time through activation of the
output pin. In addition, the kickstart feature allows the
PWR
system to be powered up in response to a low-going transition on the
pin, without operating voltage
KS
applied to the V
pin. As a result, system power can be applied upon such events as a key closure or
CC
modem-ring-detect signal. In order to use either the wake-up or the kickstart features, the
DS17485/DS17487 must have an auxiliary battery connected to the V
pin, the oscillator must be
BAUX
running, and the countdown chain must not be in reset (Register A DV2, DV1, DV0 = 01X). If DV2,
DV1, and DV0 are not in this required state, the
pin is not driven low in response to a kickstart or
PWR
wake-up condition, while in battery-backed mode.
The wake-up feature is controlled through the wake-up-interrupt-enable bit in extended control register
4B (WIE, bank 1, 04BH). Setting WIE to 1 enables the wake-up feature, clearing WIE to 0 disables it.
Similarly, the kickstart feature is controlled by the kickstart-interrupt-enable bit in extended control
register 4B (KSE, bank 1, 04BH).
A wake-up sequence occurs as follows: When wake-up is enabled through WIE = 1 while the system is
powered down (no V
voltage), the clock/calendar monitors the current date for a match condition with
CC
the date alarm register (bank 1, register 049H). With the date alarm register, the hours, minutes, and
seconds alarm bytes in the clock/calendar register map (bank 0, registers 05H, 03H, and 01H) are also
monitored. As a result, a wake-up occurs at the date and time specified by the date, hours, minutes, and
seconds alarm register values. This additional alarm occurs regardless of the programming of the AIE bit
(bank 0, register B, 0BH). When the match condition occurs, the
pin is automatically driven low.
PWR
This output can be used to turn on the main system power supply that provides V
voltage to the
CC
DS17485/DS17487 as well as the other major components in the system. Also at this time, the wake-up
flag (WF, bank 1, register 04AH) is set, indicating that a wake-up condition has occurred.
