The low-voltage serial-peripheral interface (SPI™) DS1390/DS1391/DS1394 and the low-voltage 3-wire DS1392/DS1393 real-time clocks (RTCs) are clocks/calendars that provide hundredths of a second, 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 an AM/PM indicator. One programmable time-of-day alarm is provided. A temperature-compensated voltage reference monitors the status of VCC and automatically disables the bus interface and switches to the backup supply if a power failure is detected. On the DS1390, a single open drain output provides a CPU interrupt or a square wave at one of four selectable frequencies. The DS1391 replaces the SQW/active-low INT pin with an active-low RST output/debounced input.The DS1390, DS1391, and DS1394 are programmed serially through an SPI-compatible, bidirectional bus. The DS1392 and DS1393 communicate over a 3-wire serial bus, and the extra pin is used for either a separate interrupt pin or an active-low RST output/debounced input.All five devices are available in a 10-pin µSOP package, and are rated over the industrial temperature range.ApplicationsEmbedded Time StampingGPS/Telematics DevicesHandheld DevicesMedical Devices

The DS3231 is a low-cost, extremely accurate I²C real-time clock (RTC) with an integrated temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and crystal. The device incorporates a battery 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 DS3231 is available in commercial and industrial temperature ranges, and is offered in a 16-pin, 300-mil SO package.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 an 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 through an I²C bidirectional bus.A precision temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator circuit monitors the status of VCC to detect power failures, to provide a reset output, and to automatically switch to the backup supply when necessary. Additionally, the active-low RST pin is monitored as a pushbutton input for generating a µP reset.ApplicationsGlobal Positioning Systems (GPS)ServersTelematicsUtility Power Meters
