Extremely Accurate SPI Bus RTC with Integrated Crystal and SRAM
Completely Integrated, Accurate Timing Solution Provides Better than ±2.0 Minutes per Year Accuracy Over the Industrial Temperature Range and Requires No User Calibration
The DS3234 is a low-cost, extremely accurate SPI™ bus
real-time clock (RTC) with an integrated temperature-compensated
crystal oscillator (TCXO) and crystal. The
DS3234 incorporates a precision, temperature-compensated
voltage reference and comparator circuit to monitor
VCC. When VCC drops below the power-fail voltage
(VPF), the device asserts the active-low RST output and also disables
read and write access to the part when VCC drops
below both VPF and VBAT. The active-low RST pin is monitored as a pushbutton input for generating a reset externally. The
device switches to the backup supply input and maintains
accurate timekeeping when main power to the
device is interrupted. The integration of the crystal resonator
enhances the long-term accuracy of the device
as well as reduces the piece-part count in a manufacturing
line. The DS3234 is available in commercial and
industrial temperature ranges, and is offered in an
industry-standard 300-mil, 20-pin SO package.
The DS3234 also integrates 256 bytes of battery-backed
SRAM. In the event of main power loss, the contents of
the memory are maintained by the power source connected
to the VBAT pin. The RTC maintains seconds,
minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information.
The date at the end of the month is automatically adjusted
for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections
for leap year. The clock operates in either the
24-hour or 12-hour format with active-low AM/PM indicator. Two
programmable time-of-day alarms and a programmable
square-wave output are provided. Address and data are
transferred serially by an SPI bidirectional bus.
