Y2K-Compliant, Nonvolatile Timekeeping RAMs

 

Part Number	Replacement	Explanation

Description

Create a design and simulate using EE-Sim^® tools:

The DS1747 is a full-function, year-2000-compliant (Y2KC), real-time clock/calendar (RTC) and 512k x 8 nonvolatile static RAM. User access to all registers within the DS1747 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 DS1747 also contains its own power-fail circuitry that deselects the device when the V_CC supply is in an out-of-tolerance condition. This feature prevents loss of data from unpredictable system operation brought on by low V_CC as errant access and update cycles are avoided.
