DS1553 64kB, Nonvolatile, Year-2000-Compliant Timekeeping RAM
below V
. RTC operation and SRAM data are maintained from the battery until V
is returned to
SO
CC
nominal levels.
All control, data, and address signals must be powered down when V
is powered down.
CC
BATTERY LONGEVITY
The DS1553 has a lithium power source that is designed to provide energy for the clock activity and
clock and RAM data retention when the V
supply is not present. The capability of this internal power
CC
supply is sufficient to power the DS1553 continuously for the life of the equipment in which it is
installed. For specification purposes, the life expectancy is 10 years at +25C with the internal clock
oscillator running in the absence of V
. Each DS1553 is shipped from Dallas Semiconductor with its
CC
lithium energy source disconnected, guaranteeing full energy capacity. When V
is first applied at a
CC
level greater than V
, the lithium energy source is enabled for battery backup operation.
PF
INTERNAL BATTERY MONITOR
The DS1553 constantly monitors the battery voltage of the internal battery. The Battery Low Flag (BLF)
bit of the Flags register (B4 of 1FF0h) is not writeable and should always be 0 when read. If a 1 is ever
present, an exhausted lithium energy source is indicated, and both the contents of the RTC and RAM are
questionable.
POWER-ON RESET
A temperature-compensated comparator circuit monitors the V
level. When V
falls to the power-fail
CC
CC
trip point, the
signal (open drain) is pulled low. When V
returns to nominal levels, the
signal
RST
RST
CC
continues to be pulled low for 40ms to 200ms. The power-on reset function is independent of the RTC
oscillator and is therefore operational whether or not the oscillator is enabled.
