13. RTC (Real Time Clock)
13-1. Operational description
As the real time clock is implemented in the MZ-5500/5600, it has the
circuit which is shown in Fig.2-13-1. The RPSC01 RTC is backed up by the
battery power to retain the clock and the data in the internal RAM during
power off. Apart of the RAM can be accessed by the user.

Fig.13-1 Real time clock circuit
°The RP5C01 in the figure is the LSl designed for the real time clock and it
has the features shown in the table.
Although the RP5C01 is accesseQ with the 1/0 address 220H to 22FH, th e se tu r
time of lORD and lOWR is . delayed via the LS74 D-flipflop to create RD and
WR signals, because the read/write setup timing 1s rather slow. •
