8. Functional description
The PCF2123 contains 16 8-bit registers with an auto-incrementing address counter, an
on-chip 32.768 kHz oscillator with two integrated load capacitors, a frequency divider
which provides the source clock for the Real Time Clock (RTC), a programmable clock
output, and a 6.25 Mbit/s SPI-bus. An offset register allows fine tuning of the clock.
All 16 registers are designed as addressable 8-bit parallel registers although not all bits
are implemented.
• The first two registers (memory address 00h and 01h) are used as control registers.
• The memory addresses 02h through 08h are used as counters for the clock function
(seconds up to years). The registers Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Weekdays,
Months, and Years are all coded in Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format. When one of
the RTC registers is written or read the contents of all counters are frozen. Therefore,
faulty writing or reading of the clock and calendar during a carry condition is
prevented.
•
•
•
•
Addresses 09h through 0Ch define the alarm condition.
Address 0Dh defines the offset calibration.
Address 0Eh defines the clock out and timer mode.
Address registers 0Eh and 0Fh are used for the countdown timer function. The
countdown timer has four selectable source clocks allowing for countdown periods in
the range from 244 μs up to four hours. There are also two pre-defined timers which
can be used to generate an interrupt once per second or once per minute. These are
defined in register Control_2 (01h).
8.1 Low power operation
Minimum power operation will be achieved by reducing the number and frequency of
switching signals inside the IC, i.e., low frequency timer clocks and a low frequency
CLKOUT will result in lower operating power. A second prime consideration is the series
resistance Rs of the quartz used.
8.1.1 Power consumption with respect to quartz series resistance
The series resistance acts as a loss element. Low Rs will reduce current consumption
further.

8.1.2 Power consumptions with respect to timer mode
Four source clocks are possible for the timer. The 4.096 kHz source clock will add the
greatest part to the power consumption. The selection of 64 Hz, 1 Hz, or 1⁄60 Hz will be
almost indistinguishable and add very little.

For a software reset, 01011000 (58h) must be sent to register Control_1 (see Section 8.3.1.1).
Reset
A reset is automatically generated at power-on. A reset can also be initiated with the
software reset command. It is generally recommended to make a software reset after
power-on.
A software reset can be initiated by setting the bits 6, 4 and 3 in register Control_1 logic 1
and all other bits logic 0 by sending the bit sequence 01011000 (58h), see Figure 7. If this
bit sequence is not correct, the software reset instruction will be ignored to protect the
device from accidently being reset. When sending the software instruction, the other bits
are not written.

OS flag
The PCF2123 includes a flag (OS in register Seconds, see Table 8) which is set whenever
the oscillator is stopped (see Figure 8 and Figure 9). The flag will remain set until cleared
by software. If the flag cannot be cleared, then the PCF2123 oscillator is not running. This
method can be used to monitor the oscillator and to determine if the supply voltage has
reduced to the point where oscillation fails.

The oscillator may be stopped, for example, by grounding one of the oscillator pins, OSCI
or OSCO. The oscillator is also considered to be stopped during the time between
power-on and stable crystal resonance. This time may be in the range of 200 ms to 2 s
depending on crystal type, temperature and supply voltage. At power-on the OS flag is
always set.

During read/write operations, the time counting circuits (memory locations 02h through
08h) are blocked.
This prevents
• Faulty reading of the clock and calendar during a carry condition
• Incrementing the time registers during the read cycle
After this read/write access is completed, the time circuit is released again and any
pending request to increment the time counters that occurred during the read/write access
is serviced. A maximum of 1 request can be stored; therefore, all accesses must be
completed within 1 second (see Figure 11).

Fig 11. Access time for read/write operations
As a consequence of this method, it is very important to make a read or write access in
one go, that is, setting or reading seconds through to years should be made in one single
access. Failing to comply with this method could result in the time becoming corrupted.
As an example, if the time (seconds through to hours) is set in one access and then in a
second access the date is set, it is possible that the time may increment between the two
accesses. A similar problem exists when reading. A roll over may occur between reads
thus giving the minutes from one moment and the hours from the next. Therefore it is
advised to read all time and date registers in one access.

The generation of interrupts from the alarm function is controlled via bit AIE (register
Control_2, see Table 7). If bit AIE is enabled, the INT pin follows the condition of bit AF. AF
will remain set until cleared by the interface. Once AF has been cleared, it will only be set
again when the time increments to match the alarm condition once more. Alarm registers
which have their AE_x bit logic 1 are ignored.
Generation of interrupts from the alarm function is described in Section 8.7.3.

Figure 13, Table 22, and Table 23 show an example for clearing bit AF, but leaving bit
MSF and bit TF unaffected. The flags are cleared by a write command, therefore bits 7, 6,
4, 1 and 0 must be written with their previous values. Repeatedly re-writing these bits has
no influence on the functional behavior.
To prevent the timer flags being overwritten while clearing bit AF, logic AND is performed
during a write access. A flag is cleared by writing logic 0 whilst a flag is not cleared by
writing logic 1. Writing logic 1 will result in the flag value remaining unchanged.

8.6 Timer functions
The countdown timer has four selectable source clocks allowing for countdown periods in
the range from 244 μs to 4 h 15 min. There are also two pre-defined timers which can be
used to generate an interrupt once per second or once per minute. For periods greater
than 4 hours, the alarm function can be used. Registers 01h, 0Eh and 0Fh are used to
control the timer function and output.

The minute and second interrupts (bits MI and SI) are pre-defined timers for generating

a minute interrupt enabled on top of a second interrupt will not be distinguishable since it
will occur at the same time; see Figure 14.

The minute and second flag (bit MSF) is set logic 1 when either the seconds or the
minutes counter increments according to the currently enabled interrupt. The flag can be
read and cleared by the interface. The status of bit MSF does not affect the INT pulse
generation. If the MSF flag is not cleared prior to the next coming interrupt period, an INT
pulse will still be generated.
The purpose of the flag is to allow the controlling system to interrogate the PCF2123 and
identify the source of the interrupt, i.e., minute or second, countdown timer or alarm.

The duration of both of these timers will be affected by the register Offset_register (see

consistent.

8.6.4 Countdown timer function
The 8-bit countdown timer at address 0Fh is controlled by the register Timer_clkout at
address 0Eh. The register Timer_clkout selects one of 4 source clock frequencies for the
timer (4.096 kHz, 64 Hz, 1 Hz, or 1⁄60 Hz) and enables or disables the timer.

Remark: Note that all timings which are generated from the 32.768 kHz oscillator are
based on the assumption that there is 0 ppm deviation. Deviation in oscillator frequency
will result in deviation in timings. This is not applicable to interface timing.
The timer counts down from a software-loaded 8-bit binary value, n. Loading the counter
with 0 stops the timer. Values from 1 to 255 are valid. When the counter reaches 1, the
countdown timer flag (bit TF) will be set and the counter automatically re-loads and starts
the next timer period. Reading the timer will return the current value of the countdown
counter (see Figure 15).

In this example it is assumed that the timer flag is cleared before the next countdown period
expires and that the pin INT is set to pulsed mode.
Fig 15. General countdown timer behavior
If a new value of n is written before the end of the current timer period, then this value will
take immediate effect. NXP does not recommend changing n without first disabling the
counter (by setting bit TE = 0). The update of n is asynchronous to the timer clock,

therefore changing it without setting bit TE = 0 may result in a corrupted value loaded into
the countdown counter which results in an undetermined countdown period for the first
period. The countdown value n will, however, be correctly stored and correctly loaded on
subsequent timer periods.
When the countdown timer flag is set, an interrupt signal on INT will be generated
provided that this mode is enabled. See Section 8.7.2 for details on how the interrupt can
be controlled.
When starting the timer for the first time, the first period will have an uncertainty which is a
result of the enable instruction being generated from the interface clock which is
asynchronous from the timer source clock. Subsequent timer periods will have no such
delay. The amount of delay for the first timer period will depend on the chosen source
clock, see Table 29.

At the end of every countdown, the timer sets the countdown timer flag (bit TF). Bit TF
may only be cleared by software. The asserted bit TF can be used to generate an
interrupt (INT). The interrupt may be generated as a pulsed signal every countdown
period or as a permanently active signal which follows the condition of bit TF. Bit TI_TP is
used to control this mode selection and the interrupt output may be disabled with bit TIE,
see Table 7.
When reading the timer, the current countdown value is returned and not the initial
value n. Since it is not possible to freeze the countdown timer counter during read back, it
is recommended to read the register twice and check for consistent results.
Timer source clock frequency selection of 1 Hz and 1⁄60 Hz will be affected by the
Offset_register. The duration of a program period will vary according to when the offset is
initiated. For example, if a 100 s timer is set using the 1 Hz clock as source, then some
100 s periods will contain correction pulses and therefor be longer or shorter depending
on the setting of the Offset_register. See Section 8.9 to understand the operation of the
Offset_register.
8.6.5 Timer flags
When a minute or second interrupt occurs, bit MSF is set logic 1. Similarly, at the end of a
timer countdown or alarm event, bit TF or AF are set logic 1. These bits maintain their
value until overwritten by software. If both countdown timer and minute or second
interrupts are required in the application, the source of the interrupt can be determined by
reading these bits. To prevent one flag being overwritten while clearing another a logical
AND is performed during a write access. A flag is cleared by writing logic 0 whilst a flag is
not cleared by writing logic 1. Writing logic 1 will result in the flag value remaining
unchanged.

Three examples are given for clearing the flags. Clearing the flags is made by a write
command, therefore bits 7, 6, 4, 1 and 0 must be written with their previous values.
Repeatedly re-writing these bits has no influence on the functional behavior.

8.7 Interrupt output
An active LOW interrupt signal is available at pin INT. Operation is controlled via the bits
of register Control_2. Interrupts may be sourced from four places: second and minute
timer, countdown timer, alarm function or offset function.
With bit TI_TP, the timer generated interrupts can be configured to either generate a pulse
or to follow the status of the interrupt flags (bits TF and MSF). Correction interrupt pulses
are always 1⁄128 second long. Alarm interrupts always follow the condition of AF.

8.7.1 Minute and second interrupts
The pulse generator for the minute and second interrupt operates from an internal 64 Hz
clock and consequently generates a pulse of 1⁄64 second in duration.
If the MSF flag is cleared before the end of the INT pulse, then the INT pulse is shortened.
This allows the source of a system interrupt to be cleared immediately it is serviced, i.e.,
the system does not have to wait for the completion of the pulse before continuing; see
Figure 17. Instructions for clearing MSF are given in Section 8.6.5.

The timing shown for clearing bit MSF in Figure 17 is also valid for the non-pulsed
interrupt mode i.e. when bit TI_TP = 0, INT may be shortened by setting both MI and SI or
MSF to logic 0.
8.7.2 Countdown timer interrupts
The generation of interrupts from the countdown timer is controlled via bit TIE.
The pulse generator for the countdown timer interrupt also uses an internal clock, but this
time it is dependent on the selected source clock for the countdown timer and on the
countdown value n. As a consequence, the width of the interrupt pulse varies (see
Table 34).

If the TF flag is cleared before the end of the INT pulse, then the INT pulse is shortened.
This allows the source of a system interrupt to be cleared immediately it is serviced, i.e.,
the system does not have to wait for the completion of the pulse before continuing (see
Figure 18). Instructions for clearing MSF can be found in Section 8.6.5.

8.7.3 Alarm interrupts
The generation of interrupts from the alarm function is controlled via bit AIE (see Table 7).
If bit AIE is enabled, the INT pin follows the condition of bit AF. Clearing bit AF will
immediately clear INT. No pulse generation is possible for alarm interrupts (see
Figure 19).

8.8 Clock output
A programmable square wave is available at pin CLKOUT. Operation is controlled by the
COF[2:0] bits in the register Timer_clkout. Frequencies of 32.768 kHz (default) down to
1 Hz can be generated for use as a system clock, microcontroller clock, input to a charge
pump, or for calibration of the oscillator.
Pin CLKOUT is an open-drain output and enabled at power-on. When disabled the output
is high-impedance.
The duty cycle of the selected clock is not controlled. However, due to the nature of the
clock generation, all will be 50 : 50 except the 32.768 kHz frequencies.
The STOP bit function can also affect the CLKOUT signal, depending on the selected
frequency. When the STOP bit is set logic 1, the CLKOUT pin will generate a continuous
LOW for those frequencies that can be stopped. For more details of the STOP bit function
see Section 8.11.

8.9 Offset register
The PCF2123 incorporates an offset register (address 0Dh) which can be used to
implement several functions, such as:
• Ageing adjustment
• Temperature compensation
• Accuracy tuning
The offset is made once every two hours in the normal mode, or once every hour in the
course mode. Each LSB will introduce an offset of 2.17 ppm for normal mode and
4.34 ppm for course mode. The values of 2.17 ppm and 4.34 ppm are based on a nominal
32.768 kHz clock. The offset value is coded in two’s complement giving a range of
+63 LSB to −64 LSB.

In normal mode, the correction is triggered once per two hours and then correction pulses
are applied once per minute until the programmed correction values have been
implement.
In course mode, the correction is triggered once per hour and then correction pulses are
applied once per minute up to a maximum of 60 minutes. When correction values greater
than 60 are used, additional correction pulses are made in the 59th minute (see Table 38).

Correction INT pulses are 1⁄128 s wide. For multiple pulses they are repeated at 1⁄64 s interval.
It is possible to monitor when correction pulses are applied. The correction interrupt
enable mode (bit CIE) will generate a 1⁄128 second pulse on INT for every correction
applied. In the case where multiple correction pulses are applied, a 1⁄128 second interrupt
pulse will be generated and repeated every 1⁄64 seconds.
Correction is applied to the 1 Hz clock. Any timer or clock output using a frequency of 1 Hz
or below will also be affected by the correction pulses.

8.10 External clock test mode
A test mode is available which allows for on-board testing. In this mode it is possible to set
up test conditions and control the operation of the RTC.
The test mode is entered by setting bit EXT_TEST in register Control_1. Then
pin CLKOUT becomes an input. The test mode replaces the internal clock signal with the
signal applied to pin CLKOUT.
The signal applied to pin CLKOUT should have a minimum pulse width of 300 ns and a
maximum period of 1000 ns. The internal clock, now sourced from CLKOUT, is divided
down to 1 Hz by a 26 divide chain called a prescaler. The prescaler can be set into a
known state by using bit STOP. When bit STOP is set, the prescaler is reset to 0. (STOP
must be cleared before the prescaler can operate again.)
From a stop condition, the first 1 second increment will take place after 32 positive edges
on pin CLKOUT. Thereafter, every 64 positive edges will cause a 1 second increment.
Remark: Entry into test mode is not synchronized to the internal 64 Hz clock. When
entering the test mode, no assumption as to the state of the prescaler can be made.
Operation example:
1. Set EXT_TEST test mode (register Control_1, bit EXT_TEST = 1).
2. Set STOP (Control_1, bit STOP = 1).
3. Clear STOP (Control_1, bit STOP = 0).
4. Set time registers to desired value.
5. Apply 32 clock pulses to pin CLKOUT.
6. Read time registers to see the first change.
7. Apply 64 clock pulses to pin CLKOUT.
8. Read time registers to see the second change.
Repeat 7 and 8 for additional increments.

8.11 STOP bit function
The function of the STOP bit is to allow for accurate starting of the time circuits. The STOP
bit function will cause the upper part of the prescaler (F2 to F14) to be held in reset and
thus no 1 Hz ticks will be generated. The time circuits can then be set and will not
increment until the STOP bit is released (see Figure 21 and Table 40).
The STOP bit function will not affect the output of 32.768 kHz, 16.384 kHz, or 8.192 kHz
(see Section 8.8).

The lower two stages of the prescaler (F0 and F1) are not reset and because the SPI-bus
is asynchronous to the crystal oscillator, the accuracy of re-starting the time circuits will be
between 0 and one 8.192 kHz cycle (see Figure 21).

The first increment of the time circuits is between 0.499878 s and 0.500000 s after STOP
bit is released. The uncertainty is caused by the prescaler bits F0 and F1 not being reset
(see Table 40).

9. 3-line serial interface
Data transfer to and from the device is made via a 3-wire SPI-bus (see Table 41). The
data lines for input and output are split. The data input and output lines can be connected
together to facilitate a bidirectional data bus. The chip enable signal is used to identify the
transmitted data. Each data transfer is a byte, with the Most Significant Bit (MSB) sent first
(see Figure 23).

SPI Real time clock/calendar
In Figure 25, the Months and Years registers are read. In this example, pins SDI and SDO
are not connected together. For this configuration, it is important that pin SDI is never left
floating. It must always be driven either HIGH or LOW. If pin SDI is left open, high IDD
currents may result. Short transition periods in the order of 200 ns will not cause any
problems.
9.1 Interface watchdog timer
During read/write operations, the time counting circuits are frozen. To prevent a situation
where the accessing device becomes locked and does not clear the interface by setting
pin CE LOW, the PCF2123 has a built in watchdog timer. Should the interface be active
for more than 1 s from the time a valid subaddress is transmitted, then the PCF2123 will
automatically clear the interface and allow the time counting circuits to continue counting.
CE must return LOW once more before a new data transfer can be executed.

The watchdog is implemented to prevent the excessive loss of time due to interface
access failure e.g. if main power is removed from a battery backed-up system during an
interface access.
Each time the watchdog period is exceeded, 1 s will be lost from the time counters. The
watchdog will trigger between 1 s and 2 s after receiving a valid subaddress.

19. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
19.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on one printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
19.2 Wave and reflow soldering
Wave soldering is a joining technology in which the joints are made by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following:
• Through-hole components
• Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circuit board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solder lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads having a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperature profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow solderable.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orientation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering versus SnPb soldering
19.3 Wave soldering
Key characteristics in wave soldering are:
• Process issues, such as application of adhesive and flux, clinching of leads, board
transport, the solder wave parameters, and the time during which components are
exposed to the wave
• Solder bath specifications, including temperature and impurities

19.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are:
• Lead-free versus SnPb soldering; note that a lead-free reflow process usually leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 39) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
• Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
• Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) and cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enough for the solder to make reliable solder joints (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards are not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on package thickness and volume and is classified in accordance with
Table 51 and 52

times.
