GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The DS1337 serial real-time clock is a low-power
clock/calendar with two programmable time-of-day
alarms and a programmable square-wave output.
Address and data are transferred serially via a 2-wire,
bidirectional bus. The clock/calendar provides
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
AM/PM indicator.

NAME
DESCRIPTION
These signals are connections for a standard 32.768kHz quartz crystal. The internal
oscillator circuitry is designed for operation with a crystal having a specified load
capacitance (CL) of 6pF. For more information about crystal selection and crystal layout
considerations, refer to Application Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Dallas RealTime Clocks. An external 32.768kHz oscillator can also drive the DS1337. In this
configuration, the X1 pin is connected to the external oscillator signal and the X2 pin is
floated.
Interrupt Output. When enabled, INTA is asserted low when the time/day/date matches
the values set in the alarm registers. This pin is an open-drain output and requires an
external pullup resistor.

OPERATION
The block diagram in Figure 3 shows the main elements of the DS1337. As shown, communications to
and from the DS1337 occur serially over a 2-wire, bidirectional bus. The DS1337 operates as a slave
device on the serial bus. Access is obtained by implementing a START condition and providing a device
identification code, followed by data. Subsequent registers can be accessed sequentially until a STOP
condition is executed.

CLOCK ACCURACY
The accuracy of the clock is dependent upon the accuracy of the crystal and the accuracy of the match
between the capacitive load of the oscillator circuit and the capacitive load for which the crystal was
trimmed. Crystal frequency drift caused by temperature shifts creates additional error. External circuit
noise coupled into the oscillator circuit can result in the clock running fast. Refer to Application Note 58:
Crystal Considerations with Dallas Real-Time Clocks for detailed information.
ADDRESS MAP
The address map for the registers of the DS1337 is shown in Table 1. During a multibyte access, when
the address pointer reaches the end of the register space (0Fh) it wraps around to location 00h. On a 2wire START, STOP, or address pointer incrementing to location 00h, the current time is transferred to a
second set of registers. The time information is read from these secondary registers, while the clock may
continue to run. This eliminates the need to re-read the registers in case of an update of the main registers
during a read.

CLOCK AND CALENDAR
The time and calendar information is obtained by reading the appropriate register bytes. The RTC
registers are illustrated in Table 1. The time and calendar are set or initialized by writing the appropriate
register bytes. The contents of the time and calendar registers are in the binary-coded decimal (BCD)
format.
The day-of-week register increments at midnight. Values that correspond to the day of week are userdefined but must be sequential (i.e., if 1 equals Sunday, then 2 equals Monday, and so on.). Illogical time
and date entries result in undefined operation.
When reading or writing the time and date registers, secondary (user) buffers are used to prevent errors
when the internal registers update. When reading the time and date registers, the user buffers are
synchronized to the internal registers on any start or stop and when the register pointer rolls over to zero.
The countdown chain is reset whenever the seconds register is written. Write transfers occur on the
acknowledge pulse from the device. To avoid rollover issues, once the countdown chain is reset, the
remaining time and date registers must be written within 1 second. The 1Hz square-wave output, if
enable, transitions high 500ms after the seconds data transfer, provided the oscillator is already running.
The DS1337 can be run in either 12-hour or 24-hour mode. Bit 6 of the hours register is defined as the
12- or 24-hour mode-select bit. When high, the 12-hour mode is selected. In the 12-hour mode, bit 5 is
the AM/PM bit with logic high being PM. In the 24-hour mode, bit 5 is the second 10-hour bit (20–23
hours). The century bit (bit 7 of the month register) is toggled when the years register overflows from
99–00.
ALARMS
The DS1337 contains two time-of-day/date alarms. Alarm 1 can be set by writing to registers 07h–0Ah.
Alarm 2 can be set by writing to registers 0Bh–0Dh. The alarms can be programmed (by the INTCN bit
of the control register) to operate in two different modes—each alarm can drive its own separate interrupt
output or both alarms can drive a common interrupt output. Bit 7 of each of the time-of-day/date alarm
registers are mask bits (Table 2). When all of the mask bits for each alarm are logic 0, an alarm only
occurs when the values in the timekeeping registers 00h–06h match the values stored in the time-ofday/date alarm registers. The alarms can also be programmed to repeat every second, minute, hour, day,
or date. Table 2 shows the possible settings. Configurations not listed in the table result in illogical
operation.
The DY/DT bits (bit 6 of the alarm day/date registers) control whether the alarm value stored in bits 0–5
of that register reflects the day of the week or the date of the month. If DY/DT is written to logic 0, the
alarm is the result of a match with date of the month. If DY/DT is written to logic 1, the alarm is the
result of a match with day of the week.
When the RTC register values match alarm register settings, the corresponding alarm flag (A1F or A2F)
bit is set to logic 1. If the corresponding alarm interrupt enable (A1IE or A2IE) is also set to logic 1, the
alarm condition activates one of the interrupt output (INTA or SQW/INTB) signals. The match is tested
on the once-per-second update of the time and date registers.

INTCN, Interrupt Control. This bit controls the relationship between the two alarms and the interrupt output
pins. When the INTCN bit is set to logic 1, a match between the timekeeping registers and the alarm 1 registers l
activates the INTA pin (provided that the alarm is enabled) and a match between the timekeeping registers and the
9 of 13
DS1337
alarm 2 registers activates the SQW/INTB pin (provided that the alarm is enabled). When the INTCN bit is set to
logic 0, a match between the timekeeping registers and either alarm 1 or alarm 2 registers activates the INTA pin
(provided that the alarms are enabled). In this configuration, a square wave is output on the SQW/INTB pin. This
bit is set to logic 0 when power is first applied.
A1IE, Alarm 1 Interrupt Enable. When set to logic 1, this bit permits the alarm 1 flag (A1F) bit in the status
register to assert INTA . When the A1IE bit is set to logic 0, the A1F bit does not initiate the INTA signal. The
A1IE bit is disabled (logic 0) when power is first applied.
A2IE, Alarm 2 Interrupt Enable. When set to logic 1, this bit permits the alarm 2 flag (A2F) bit in the status
register to assert INTA (when INTCN = 0) or to assert SQW/INTB (when INTCN = 1). When the A2IE bit is set to
logic 0, the A2F bit does not initiate an interrupt signal. The A2IE bit is disabled (logic 0) when power is first
applied.

OSF, Oscillator Stop Flag. A logic 1 in this bit indicates that the oscillator either is stopped or was stopped for
some period of time and may be used to judge the validity of the clock and calendar data. This bit is set to logic 1
anytime that the oscillator stops. The following are examples of conditions that can cause the OSF bit to be set:
1)
2)

4)
The first time power is applied.
The voltage present on VCC is insufficient to support oscillation.
The EOSC bit is turned off.
External influences on the crystal (e.g., noise, leakage, etc.).
This bit remains at logic 1 until written to logic 0.
A1F, Alarm 1 Flag. A logic 1 in the alarm 1 flag bit indicates that the time matched the alarm 1 registers. If the
A1IE bit is also logic 1, the INTA pin goes low. A1F is cleared when written to logic 0. This bit can only be
written to logic 0. Attempting to write to logic 1 leaves the value unchanged.
A2F, Alarm 2 Flag. A logic 1 in the alarm 2 flag bit indicates that the time matched the alarm 2 registers. This
flag can be used to generate an interrupt on either INTA or SQW/INTB depending on the status of the INTCN bit
in the control register. If the INTCN bit is set to logic 0 and A2F is at logic 1 (and A2IE bit is also logic 1), the
INTA pin goes low. If the INTCN bit is set to logic 1 and A2F is logic 1 (and A2IE bit is also logic 1), the
SQW/INTB pin goes low. A2F is cleared when written to logic 0. This bit can only be written to logic 0.
Attempting to write to logic 1 leaves the value unchanged.

DS1337
2-WIRE SERIAL DATA BUS
The DS1337 supports a bidirectional 2-wire bus and data transmission protocol. A device that sends data
onto the bus is defined as a transmitter and a device receiving data as a receiver. The device that controls
the message is called a master. The devices that are controlled by the master are referred to as slaves. A
master device that generates the serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the START
and STOP conditions must control the bus. The DS1337 operates as a slave on the 2-wire bus. Within the
bus specifications a standard mode (100kHz maximum clock rate) and a fast mode (400kHz maximum
clock rate) are defined. The DS1337 works in both modes. Connections to the bus are made through the
open-drain I/O lines SDA and SCL.
The following bus protocol has been defined (Figure 4):
§
§
Data transfer may be initiated only when the bus is not busy.
During data transfer, the data line must remain stable whenever the clock line is HIGH. Changes in
the data line while the clock line is HIGH are interpreted as control signals.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been defined:
Bus not busy: Both data and clock lines remain HIGH.
Start data transfer: A change in the state of the data line, from HIGH to LOW, while the clock is
HIGH, defines a START condition.
Stop data transfer: A change in the state of the data line, from LOW to HIGH, while the clock line is
HIGH, defines the STOP condition.
Data valid: The state of the data line represents valid data when, after a START condition, the data line
is stable for the duration of the HIGH period of the clock signal. The data on the line must be changed
during the LOW period of the clock signal. There is one clock pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition and terminated with a STOP condition. The
number of data bytes transferred between START and STOP conditions are not limited, and are
determined by the master device. The information is transferred byte-wise and each receiver
acknowledges with a ninth bit.
Acknowledge: Each receiving device, when addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte. The master device must generate an extra clock pulse that is associated with this
acknowledge bit.
A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a
way that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the acknowledge related clock pulse. Of
course, setup and hold times must be taken into account. A master must signal an end of data to the slave
by not generating an acknowledge bit on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this case,
the slave must leave the data line HIGH to enable the master to generate the STOP condition.

DS1337
Figure 4. Data Transfer On 2-Wire Serial Bus
Depending upon the state of the R/W bit, two types of data transfer are possible:
1) Data transfer from a master transmitter to a slave receiver. The first byte transmitted by the
master is the slave address. Next follows a number of data bytes. The slave returns an acknowledge
bit after each received byte. Data is transferred with the most significant bit (MSB) first.
2) Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master receiver. The master transmits the first byte
(the slave address). The slave then returns an acknowledge bit, followed by the slave transmitting a
number of data bytes. The master returns an acknowledge bit after all received bytes other than the
last byte. At the end of the last received byte, a “not acknowledge” is returned. The master device
generates all of the serial clock pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer is ended with
a STOP condition or with a repeated START condition. Since a repeated START condition is also the
beginning of the next serial transfer, the bus is not released. Data is transferred with the most
significant bit (MSB) first.
The DS1337 can operate in the following two modes:
1) Slave Receiver Mode (Write Mode): Serial data and clock are received through SDA and SCL.
After each byte is received an acknowledge bit is transmitted. START and STOP conditions are
recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer. Address recognition is performed by
hardware after reception of the slave address and direction bit (Figure 5). The slave address byte is
the first byte received after the master generates the START condition. The slave address byte
contains the 7-bit DS1337 address, which is 1101000, followed by the direction bit (R/W), which, for
a write, is 0. After receiving and decoding the slave address byte the device outputs an acknowledge
on the SDA line. After the DS1337 acknowledges the slave address + write bit, the master transmits a
word address to the DS1337. This sets the register pointer on the DS1337. The master may then
transmit 0 or more bytes of data, with the DS1337 acknowledging each byte received. The master
generates a STOP condition to terminate the data write.
2) Slave Transmitter Mode (Read Mode): The first byte is received and handled as in the slave
receiver mode. However, in this mode, the direction bit indicates that the transfer direction is
reversed. Serial data is transmitted on SDA by the DS1337 while the serial clock is input on SCL.

DS1337
START and STOP conditions are recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer (Figure 6).
The slave address byte is the first byte received after the master generates a START condition. The
slave address byte contains the 7-bit DS1337 address, which is 1101000, followed by the direction bit
(R/W), which, for a read, is 1. After receiving and decoding the slave address byte the device outputs
an acknowledge on the SDA line. The DS1337 then begins to transmit data starting with the register
address pointed to by the register pointer. If the register pointer is not written to before the initiation
of a read mode the first address that is read is the last one stored in the register pointer. The DS1337
must receive a “not acknowledge” to end a read.
