SM8578BV
Real-time Clock IC
OVERVIEW
The SM8578BV is a serial interface, real-time clock IC that uses a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator for its reference timing. It comprises second-counter to year-counter clock and calendar circuits that feature automatic
leap-year adjustment, alarm and timer interrupt functions, as well as oscillator stop, timer reloading, and other
detection functions. Data is transferred to and from an external controller using a 3-wire serial interface. It is
available in compact 8-pin VSOP packages, making it ideal for use in all types of portable, hand-held equipment.

Clock and Calendar Registers (Registers 0 to 6)
■
■
■
■
■
■
Data is in BCD format. For example, register 0 data “0101 1001” represents the value 59 seconds. Also, “*”entries in the register table represent read/write locations that can be used as RAM.
Clock timing is in 24-hour mode.
Year register and leap year:
The year register represents years as 2 digits, with 00 following year 99.
Leap years are automatically identified for years up to 2099.
Day-of-week register:
The day-of-week register is a 7-bit register (bits 0 to 6) with valid values shown in the following table.
Note that a register setting with a multiple number of “1” bits is invalid.

FOS (Abnormal Oscillation Detection Bit)
This flag reports oscillation abnormalities during normal operation, such as may occur when the supply voltage falls too low, for example. It is set to “1” to indicate abnormal oscillation, and maintains this value until
a “0” bit is written. It is not affected by the function of any other bits.
fr (Read Flags)
When CE is HIGH, these flags are set to “1” when the 1s seconds digit is incremented. They are set to “0”
when CE goes LOW. This makes it possible to determine whether the 1s seconds digit has been incremented
during a clock register read-out operation (when CE is HIGH). If the fr bits are set to “1”, all the clock timing registers should be read again.
The seconds and year registers do not have fr flags. Instead, bits 6 and 5 in the seconds register and bits 7 and
6 in the year register are logically-Ored with data “1” (example: year register 00101001 → 11101001).
When CE goes LOW, the register values are restored (example: year register 11101001 → 00101001).

Alarm Registers (Registers 7 to A)
■
■
■
■
■
■
These registers contain the alarm interrupt time setting. When the alarm matches the clock registers, the
INTN output goes LOW (if the alarm interrupt enable AIE bit is set to 1).
The alarm can be set for day-of-week, day, hour and minute.
Bit 7 of each of the alarm registers is an enable alarm AE bit. These bits can be used to implement repetitive
alarms, such as for every hour or every day.
The day-of-week alarm can optionally be set for multiple alarms.
Correct alarm output may not occur if the only alarm setting is a day-of-week alarm.
When the AE bit is set to 0, the alarm registers are compared with the corresponding clock registers. When
set to “1”, the data is ignored as don’t care bits and is always deemed to match.
When the AIE bit in register E is set to “0”, output on pin INTN is disabled. The TIE and FE bits must be set
to “1” and the AIE bit must be set to “0” to enable alarm interrupts.

Timer Registers (Registers C to E)
■
■
■
■
■
■
These registers control the 8-bit presettable down-counters used for timer interrupts. The counter source
clock is assigned by register C, and the counter frequency divider is assigned by register D.
When the timer count register counts down to zero, with source clock cycle timing, the INTN output goes
LOW (if the timer interrupt enable TIE bit is set to “1”).
When the TI/TP bit is set to “1”, the fixed-cycle counter register data is reloaded and the count down starts
again. Accordingly, this bit can be used to implement an interval timer (periodic mode).
When the TIE bit in register E is set to “0”, output on INTN is disabled.
The TI/TP, FE, AIE, and TIE bits must be set for normal timer operation (with the FE and AIE bits set to
“0”).
When data is written to register D, the presettable down counters are updated. The data written to register D
is maintained until a subsequent data write is performed, hence this register can be used as RAM, similar to
the “*”- entries in the register table, when timer interrupt mode is not used (when TIE is “0”).
When the TE bit is set to “0”, the counter loads the fixed-cycle counter contents and the count stops. When
the TE bit is set to “1”, the count starts.
Note that when the TE bit is set to “0”, fixed-cycle interrupts from output INTN are not generated even when
the fixed-cycle counter (register D) is loaded with zero data.

Frequency Setting Register (Register B)
■
■
This register contains the arbitrary frequency setting for output on INTN.
The FD4 and FD3 bits set the frequency divider source clock, and the FD2 to FD0 bits set the frequency
divider ratio of the source clock (output frequency = source clock frequency × frequency divider ratio).
The FE bit must be set to “1” to enable frequency output on INTN, with frequency given by the frequency
set register (with the AIE and TIE bits set to “0”).
When the FE bit is set to “0”, the output is disabled and is high impedance (Hi-Z).

INTN goes LOW immediately when a timer interrupt occurs.
INTN remains LOW until the TF bit is set to “0” (with TIE = “1”).
1
<Periodic interrupt mode (interval interrupt)>
INTN goes LOW immediately when a timer interrupt occurs (with
TIE = “1”), the TF bit is set to “1”, and then INTN becomes high
impedance until “0” data is written to the TF bit.
AF, TF bits: Alarm Flag, Timer Flag
The AF bit is set to “1” when an alarm occurs, and the TF bit is set to “1” when the timer is zero.
The data bits are maintained until “0” data is written to both bits.
Note that “1” data cannot be written to both bits.
AIE, TIE bits: Alarm, Timer Interrupt Enable
These bits determine the output on INTN when alarm or timer interrupt events occur.
AIE is the alarm interrupt enable flag, and TIE is the timer interrupt enable flag.
The alarm or timer interrupt is enabled when the corresponding enable bit is set to “1” (both interrupts are
output if both bits are set to “1”, so setting both bits to “1” should be avoided).

TEST bit: NPC Test Bit
This bit should be set to “0” when power is applied and when writing to register F.
RESET bit
When this bit is set to “1”, the 2kHz to 1Hz frequency divider counters are reset and clock timing stops.
After “1” data is written, test mode is cancelled by writing “0” data or by setting the CE input LOW.
It is not affected by the state of any other bits.
HOLD bit
When this bit is set to “1”, the seconds digit increment operation is disabled.
However, if an increment operation occurs when this bit is “1” and the bit is subsequently set to “0” within 1
second, the automatic correction function forces a 1-second correction.
Therefore, it is recommended that the HOLD bit should be used for less than 1 second.

USAGE NOTES
Data Read/Write
■
■
■
■
For both writing and reading data, the first 4 bits after CE goes HIGH are mode select bits, the next 4 bits
assign the address, and subsequent bits are read/write data in 8-bit units.
When writing data, the data must be input in 8-bit units.
If CE goes LOW before an 8-bit unit data word is input, the 8-bit data being written when CE goes LOW
will not be written correctly.
Write data and read data are in LSB-first format.
[Write mode]
1) If the first 4 bits after CE goes HIGH have value “3”, write mode is selected. The next 4 bits determine the
write address.
2) The next 8-bit data unit is written to the write address, and subsequent 8-bit data units are written to consecutive locations addressed using an automatic address increment function.
3) The address automatic increment function is cyclical, with address 0 following after address F.

Alarm Interrupt
Alarms can be set for day, day-of-week, hour, and minute. Also, multiple day-of-week alarms can be set.
It is recommended that the AF bit and AIE bit be initialized to “0” to avoid unexpected hardware interrupts during the alarm setting procedure. Subsequent alarm data can be set and then the AF flag can be reset to zero for
reliable initialization. Then the AIE bit should be set to “1”. If hardware interrupts are never used, the AIE
should be set to “0” and the AF bit should be monitored using software as necessary.
Example 1) Alarm output for 6pm tomorrow:
• Write “0” to AIE bit, and “0” to AF bit.
• Write “1” to day alarm AE bit.
