The DS1672 low-voltage serial timekeeping chip incorporates a 32-bit counter and power-monitoring functions. The 32-bit counter is designed to count seconds and can be used to derive time-of-day, week, month, and year by using a software algorithm. A precision, temperature-compensated reference and comparator circuit monitors the status of VCC. When an out-of-tolerance condition occurs, an internal power-fail signal is generated that forces the reset to the active state. When VCC returns to an in-tolerance condition, the reset signal is kept in the active state for 250ms to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize.

The DS1682 is an integrated elapsed-time recorder containing a factory-calibrated, temperature-compensated RC time base that eliminates the need for an external crystal. Using EEPROM technology to maintain data in the absence of power, the DS1682 requires no backup power source. The DS1682 detects and records the number of events on the EVENT pin and the total cumulative event time since the DS1682 was last reset to 0. The active-low ALARM pin alerts the user when the total time accumulated equals the user-programmed alarm value. The polarity of the open-drain active-low ALARM pin can be programmed to either drive low or to become high impedance upon an alarm condition. The DS1682 is ideal for applications that monitor the total amount of time that a device has been in operation and/or the number of uses since inception of service, repair, or the last calibration.ApplicationsAny System Where Time-of-Use is Important (Warranty Tracking)High-Temp, Rugged, Industrial Applications Where Vibration or Shock Could Damage a Quartz Crystal

The DS1685/DS1687 are real-time clocks (RTCs) designed as successors to the industry-standard DS1285,DS1385, DS1485, and DS1585 PC RTCs. These devices provide the industry-standard DS1285 clock function with either +3.0V or +5.0V operation. The DS1685 also incorporates a number of enhanced features including a silicon serial number, power-on/off control circuitry, 242 bytes of user NV SRAM, and 32.768kHz output for sustaining power management activities.The DS1685/DS1687 power-control circuitry allows the system to be powered on by an external stimulus such as a keyboard or by a time and date (wake-up) alarm.

The DS1746 is a full-function, year-2000-compliant (Y2KC), real-time clock/calendar (RTC) and 128k x 8 nonvolatile static RAM. User access to all registers within the DS1746 is accomplished with a byte-wide interface as shown in Figure 1. The RTC information and control bits reside in the eight uppermost RAM locations. The RTC registers contain century, year, month, date, day, hours, minutes, and seconds data in 24-hour binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. Corrections for the date of each month and leap year are made automatically. The RTC clock registers are double buffered to avoid access of incorrect data that can occur during clock update cycles. The double-buffered system also prevents time loss as the timekeeping countdown continues unabated by access to time register data. The DS1746 also contains its own power-fail circuitry, which deselects the device when the VCC supply is in an out of tolerance condition. This feature prevents loss of data from unpredictable system operation brought on by low VCC as errant access and update cycles are avoided.

The DS1302 trickle-charge timekeeping chip contains a real-time clock/calendar and 31 bytes of static RAM. It communicates with a microprocessor via a simple serial interface. The real-time clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The end of the month date 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.Interfacing the DS1302 with a microprocessor is simplified by using synchronous serial communication. Only three wires are required to communicate with the clock/RAM: CE, I/O (data line), and SCLK (serial clock). Data can betransferred to and from the clock/RAM 1 byte at a time or in a burst of up to 31 bytes. The DS1302 is designed to operate on very low power and retain data and clock information on less than 1µW.The DS1302 is the successor to the DS1202. In addition to the basic timekeeping functions of the DS1202, the DS1302 has the additional features of dual power pins for primary and backup power supplies, programmable trickle charger for VCC1, and seven additional bytes of scratchpad memory.
