Summary

Overview

Block Diagram

Pin Connections

Pin Functions

Characteristics

Absolute Maximum Ratings

Defines voltage, current, and temperature limits for device operation.

Operating Conditions

Specifies supply voltage, operating temperature, and data hold voltage.

Frequency and Current Consumption Characteristics

Details frequency tolerance, temperature/voltage effects, and current draw.

Electrical Characteristics (DC Characteristics)

Switching Characteristics (AC Characteristics)

When ALE is Used

Specifies timing parameters for data transfer when the Address Latch Enable (ALE) pin is active.

When ALE is Fixed at VDD

Specifies timing parameters when the ALE pin is held at VDD, covering write and read modes.

Registers

Register Table

Lists all registers, their addresses, bits, and functions.

Functions of Register Bits (Overview)

Timing Registers

S1 to Y10 Registers

Describes 4-bit BCD registers for year, month, day, hour, minute, and second digits.

W Register

A counter register (0-6) for day digits, can be used for day of the week.

H10 Register (PM;AM, h20, h10)

Contains 10-hour digit and PM/AM bit; depends on 12/24 hour mode.

Y1 and Y10 Registers

Handles the last two digits of the year, including leap year identification.

Out-of-range Data

Warns about potential errors and unpredictable behavior with impossible date/time settings.

CD Register (Control Register D)

HOLD Bit (D0)

Controls access to S1-W registers, affecting the BUSY bit status.

BUSY Bit (D1)

Indicates if digits are being incremented, enabling/disabling access to S1-W registers.

IRQ FLAG Bit (D2)

Status bit linked to STD.P pin output, indicating interrupt requests.

30-Second ADJ Bit (D3)

Performs a 30-second correction, rounding to the nearest minute.

CE Register (Control Register E)

MASK Bit (D0)

Controls the STD.P pin output for pulse or interrupt modes.

ITRPT;STND Bit (D1)

Selects between fixed-period pulse output and fixed-period interrupt mode.

t0 to (D2), t1 (D3) Bits

Select the timing for fixed-period pulse output or interrupt generation.

CF Register (Control Register F)

RESET Bit (D0)

Clears sub-second counter bits. Reset is active while the bit is 1.

STOP Bit (D1)

Stops clock operation from the 1/8192 second bit onward.

24;12 Bit (D2)

Switches between 12-hour and 24-hour clock modes; affects PM/AM validity.

TEST Bit (D3)

Reserved for EPSON testing; operation not guaranteed if set to 1.

Using the RTC-72421;RTC-72423

Power-On Procedure (Initialization)

Outlines steps to initialize registers and outputs after power-on.

Read;Write of S1 to W Registers

Write to 30-second ADJ Bit
