(Year/Month/Date/Day) counter functions (BCD
code)
• Select between 12-hr and 24-hr clock display
• Auto calculation of leap years until 2099
• Built-in high-precision clock precision control logic
• Interrupt generation function (cycle time range: 1
month to 0.5 seconds, includes interrupt flags and
interrupt stop function)
• Alarm functions (Alarm_A: Day/Hour/Min)
• 32-kHz clock output (/INTB output)
• Oscillation stop detection function (used to determine
presence of internal data)
PT7C4372A/C are I2C bus interface-compliant real-time
clocks that have been adjusted for high precision. In
addition to providing a function for generating six types
of interrupts, a dual alarm function, an oscillation stop
detection function (used to determine presence of valid
internal data at power-on), they includes a digital clock
precision adjustment function that can be used to set
various levels of precision.
Since the internal oscillation circuit is driven at a
constant voltage, 32-kHz clock output is stable and free
of voltage fluctuation effects.
Table 1 shows the diverse functions of the two RTC
circuits. More details are shown in section Overview of
Functions.
• Wide Time keeping voltage range: 1.3 V to 6 V
• Wide interface voltage range: 1.8 V to 6 V
• Low current consumption: 0.4 µA/3.0 V (Typ.)

Function Description
Alarm function

PT7C4372A/C
This module is has two alarm system (Alarm_A and
Alarm_B) that outputs interrupt signals from /INTA or
/INTB to CPU when the day of the week, hour or minute
corresponds to the setting. Each of them may output
interrupt signal separately at a specified time. The alarm
may be selectable between on and off for each day of the
week, thus allowing outputting alarm everyday or on a
specific day of the week.
Overview of Functions
Clock function
CPU can read or write data including the year (last two
digits), month, date, day, hour, minute, and second. Any
(two-digit) year that is a multiple of 4 is treated as a leap
year and calculated automatically as such until the year 2099.
Clock precision adjustment function
They have two internal oscillation circuit capacitors, so that
an oscillation circuit may be configured simply by
externally connecting a crystal. Either 32.768kHz or
32.000kHz crystal may be selected to setting the internal
register appropriately.
The clock precision can be adjusted forward or back in units
of ±3.051 ppm (32.768kHz crystal) or ±3.125 ppm
(32.000kHz crystal) and oscillation frequency can be
adjusted in ±189 ppm (32.768kHz crystal) or ±194 ppm
(32.000kHz crystal).
The Alarm_A is output from the /INTA pin while the
Alarm_B is output from either the /INTA or the /INTB pins.
Polling is possible separately for each alarm function.
Oscillation stop detection function, power drop detection
function (voltage monitoring function), and power-on
reset detection function
PT7C4372A/ C have only oscillation stop detection function.
The oscillation stop detection function uses registers to
record if clock data is valid or invalid. This function may be
used to determine if the PT7C4372A/C supply power has
been booted from 0V and if it has been backed up.
This function can be used to implement a higher-precision
clock function, such as by:
 Enabling higher clock precision throughout the year by
taking seasonal clock precision adjustments into
account in advance, or
 Enabling correction of temperature-related clock
precision variation in systems that include a
temperature detecting function.
Interface with CPU
Data is read and written via the I2C bus interface using two
signal lines: SCL (clock) and SDA (data).
Since the output of the I/O pin of SDA is open drain, a pullup resistor should be used on the circuit board if the CPU
output I/O is also open drain.
The SCL's maximum clock frequency is 400 kHz, which
supports the I2C bus's high-speed mode.
Periodic interrupt

PT7C4372A/C
Periodic interrupts can be output via the /INTA and /INTB
pins.
Select among five Periodic frequency settings: 2 Hz (every
0.5 seconds), 1 Hz (every second), 1/60 Hz (every minute),
1/3600Hz (every hour), or monthly.
Select among two output waveforms for periodic interrupts:
ordinary pulse waveform (2 Hz or 1 Hz) or waveforms
(every second, minute, hour, or month) for CPU-level
interrupts that can support CPU interrupts.
A polling function is also provided to enable monitoring of
pin states via registers.
32-kHz clock output
The 32.768 kHz clock (32.768kHz crystal) or 32.000kHz
clock (32.000kHz crystal) can be output via the /INTB by
setting corresponding register.
Note: The precision of this 32.768 kHz clock output via the
FOUT pin can not be adjusted (even when using the clock
precision adjustment function).

Examples:
(1) Setting time forward
Adjust (advance) the clock precision when FOUT clock output is 32767.7 Hz
Determine the current amount of variance
(32767.7 -32768) / 32768 = -9.16 × 10 -6
*[ 32768 ] = Reference values
Calculate the optimum adjustment data (decimal value) relative to the current variance.
Adjustment data = variance / adjustment resolution = -9.16 / 3.05  -3
Calculate the setting adjustment data (hexadecimal)
Setting adjustment data = 128 -3 (80 h – 03h) = 125 (7D h)
(2) Setting time backward
Adjust (set back) the clock precision when FOUT clock output is 32768.3 Hz
Determine the current amount of variance
(32768.3 -32768) / 32768 = +9.16 ×10 -6
Calculate the optimum adjustment data (decimal value) relative to the current variance.
Adjustment data = (variance / adjustment resolution) + 1 = (+9.16 / 3.05) + 1  +4
*Add 1 since reference value is 01h
Calculate the setting adjustment data (hexadecimal)
Setting adjustment data = 04 h

* When using the Alarm A (or B) function, first set this AALE (or BALE) bit value as "0" to stop the function. Next, set the day,
hour, minute, and set the AAFG (or BAFG) bit to 0. Finally, set "1" to the AALE (or BALE) bit to set the Alarm A (or B) function
as valid. The reason for first setting the AALE (or BALE) bit value as "0" is to prevent /INTB or /INTA = "L" output in the event
that a match between the current time and alarm setting occurs while the alarm setting is still being made.

Periodic interrupt output can be obtained via PT7C4372A/C: /INTA or /INTB pin. Select among five periodic-cycle settings: 2 Hz
(once per 0.5 seconds), 1 Hz (once per second), 1/60 Hz (once per minute), 1/3600 Hz (once per hour), or monthly (on the 1 st of
each month).
Select between two output waveforms for periodic interrupts: an ordinary pulse waveform (2 Hz or 1 Hz) or a waveform (every
second, minute, hour, or month) for CPU-level interrupts that can support CPU interrupts.
A polling function is also provided to enable monitoring of pin states via registers.

Pulse mode: The period during which the output pulse is low can be adjusted backward or forward up to ±3.784ms (±3.875ms
when 32.000kHz crystal is used).
For example, the duty for the 1-Hz setting can be adjusted ±0.3784% (or ±0.3875% when 32.000kHz crystal is
used) from 50%.
Level mode: a one-second period can be adjusted backward or forward up to ±3.784 ms (±3.875ms when 32.000kHz crystal
is used).

Description
0
Ordinary oscillation.
1
Oscillator halts sensing.
Default
This bit senses the oscillator halt. When oscillation is halted after initial power on from 0V or drop in supply voltage, the bit is set
to “1” and remains to be “1” after it is restarted. This bit may be used to judge validity of clock and calendar count data after
power on or supply voltage drop. When this bit is set to “1”, the Time Trimming register, Control 1 register, /CLEN and TEST
bits are reset to “0”. /INTA will stop output and the /INTB will output 32-kHz clock pulses. This bit is set to “0” by setting the
control register 2 during ordinary oscillation.

Reading / Writing Data via the I2C Bus Interface
Overview of I2C-BUS
The I2C bus supports bi-directional communications via two signal lines: the SDA (data) line and SCL (clock) line. A combination
of these two signals is used to transmit and receive communication start/stop signals, data signals, acknowledge signals, and so on.
Both the SCL and SDA signals are held at high level whenever communications are not being performed. The starting and
stopping of communications is controlled at the rising edge or falling edge of SDA while SCL is at high level. During data
transfers, data changes that occur on the SDA line are performed while the SCL line is at low level, and on the receiving side the
data is captured while the SCL line is at high level. In either case, the data is transferred via the SCL line at a rate of one bit per
clock pulse. The I2C bus device does not include a chip select pin such as is found in ordinary logic devices. Instead of using a
chip select pin, slave addresses are allocated to each device and the receiving device responds to communications only when its
slave address matches the slave address in the received data.
System Configuration
All ports connected to the I2C bus must be either open drain or open collector ports in order to enable AND connections to
multiple devices.
SCL and SDA are both connected to the Vcc line via a pull-up resistance. Consequently, SCL and SDA are both held at high level
when the bus is released (when communication is not being performed).

Starting and Stopping I2C Bus Communications
Fig 5. Starting and stopping on I2C bus
1) START condition, repeated START condition, and STOP condition
a) START condition
SDA level changes from high to low while SCL is at high level
b) STOP condition
SDA level changes from low to high while SCL is at high level
c) Repeated START condition (RESTART condition)
In some cases, the START condition occurs between a previous START condition and the next STOP condition, in which
case the second START condition is distinguished as a RESTART condition. Since the required status is the same as for the
START condition, the SDA level changes from high to low while SCL is at high level.
2) Caution points
a) The master device always controls the START, RESTART, and STOP conditions for communications.
b) The master device does not impose any restrictions on the timing by which STOP conditions affect transmissions, so
communications can be forcibly stopped at any time while in progress. (However, this is only when this RTC module is in
receiver mode (data reception mode = SDA released).
c) When communicating with this RTC module, the series of operations from transmitting the START condition to
transmitting the STOP condition should occur within 0.5 seconds. (A RESTART condition may be sent between a START
condition and STOP condition, but even in such cases the series of operations from transmitting the START condition to
transmitting the STOP condition should still occur within 0.5 seconds.)
If this series of operations requires 0.5 to 1.0 seconds or longer, the I2C bus interface will be automatically cleared and set to
standby mode by this RTC module's bus timeout function. Note with caution that both write and read operations are invalid for
communications that occur during or after this auto clearing operation. (When the read operation is invalid, all data that is read has
a value of "1").
Restarting of communications begins with transfer of the START condition again.
d) When communicating with this RTC module, wait at least 1.3 µs between transferring a STOP condition (to stop
communications) and transferring the next START condition (to start the next round of communications). (If any carries occur in
the time data during this communication period, corrections are made during this period.)

Data Transfers and Acknowledge Responses during I2C-BUS Communication
1) Data transfers
Data transfers are performed in 8-bit (1 byte) units once the START condition has occurred. There is no limit on the amount
(bytes) of data that are transferred between the START condition and STOP condition. (However, the transfer time must be no
longer than 0.5 seconds and access to the Address Dh (Reserved) register is prohibited.)
The address auto increment function operates during both write and read operations. After address Fh, increment goes to address
0h. Updating of data on the transmitter (transmitting side)'s SDA line is performed while the SCL line is at low level. The receiver
(receiving side) captures data while the SCL line is at high level.
*Note with caution that if the SDA data is changed while the SCL line is at high level, it will be treated as a START, RESTART,
or STOP condition.
2) Data acknowledge response (ACK signal)
When transferring data, the receiver generates a confirmation response (ACK signal, low active) each time an 8-bit data segment
is received. If there is no ACK signal from the receiver, it indicates that normal communication has not been established. (This
does not include instances where the master device intentionally does not generate an ACK signal.)
Immediately after the falling edge of the clock pulse corresponding to the 8th bit of data on the SCL line, the transmitter releases
the SDA line and the receiver sets the SDA line to low (= acknowledge) level.

ACK signal
After transmitting the ACK signal, if the Master remains the receiver for transfer of the next byte, the SDA is released at the
falling edge of the clock corresponding to the 9th bit of data on the SCL line. Data transfer resumes when the Master becomes the
transmitter.
When the Master is the receiver, if the Master does not send an ACK signal in response to the last byte sent from the slave that
indicates to the transmitter that data transfer has ended. At that point, the transmitter continues to release the SDA and awaits a
STOP condition from the Master.

Slave Address
The I2C bus device does not include a chip select pin such as is found in ordinary logic devices. Instead of using a chip select pin,
slave addresses are allocated to each device.
All communications begin with transmitting the [START condition] + [slave address (+ R/W specification)]. The receiving device
responds to this communication only when the specified slave address it has received matches its own slave address.
Slave addresses have a fixed length of 7 bits. This RTC's slave address is [ 0110 010 ].
An R/W bit ("*" above) is added to each 7-bit slave address during 8-bit transfers.

Note: The crystal, traces and crystal input pins
should be isolated from RF generating signals.
Considerations in Mounting Components Surrounding Oscillating Circuit
1) Mount the crystal oscillators in the closest possible position to the IC.
2) Avoid laying any signal or power line close to the oscillation circuit (particularly in the area marked with “←A→” in the
above figure).
3) Apply the highest possible insulation resistance between the OSCOUT pin and the PCB.
4) Avoid using any long parallel line to wire the OSCIN and OSCOUT pin.
5) Take extreme care not to cause condensation, which leads to various problems such as oscillation halt.
