The X1203 is a Real Time Clock with clock/calendar
circuits and two alarms. The dual port clock and alarm
registers allow the clock to operate, without loss of
accuracy, even during read and write operations.
The clock/calendar provides functionality that is controllable and readable through a set of registers. The
clock, using a low cost 32.768kHz crystal input, accurately tracks the time in seconds, minutes, hours, date,
day, month and years. It has leap year correction,
automatic adjustment for the year 2000 and months
with less than 31 days.
An alarm match of the RTC sets an interrupt flag and
activates an interrupt pin. An alternative alarm function
provides a pulsed interrupt for long time constant timebases.
The device offers a backup power input pin. This
VBACK pin allows the device to be backed up by a nonrechargeable battery. The RTC is fully operational from
2.7 to 5.5 Volts and the RTC portion of the X1203
device remains fully operational down to 1.8 Volts.

POWER CONTROL OPERATION
PIN DESCRIPTIONS
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock all data into and out of
the device. The input buffer on this pin is always active
(not gated).
Serial Data (SDA)
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and
out of the device. It has an open drain output and may
be wire ORed with other open drain or open collector
outputs. The input buffer is always active (not gated).
An open drain output requires the use of a pull-up
resistor. The output circuitry controls the fall time of the
output signal with the use of a slope controlled pulldown. The circuit is designed for 400kHz 2-wire interface speeds.
VBACK
This input provides a backup supply voltage to the
device. VBACK supplies power to the device in the
event the VCC supply fails.
Interrupt Output - IRQ
This is an interrupt signal output. This signal notifies a
host processor that alarm has occurred and requests
action. It is an open drain active LOW output.
X1, X2
The X1 and X2 pins are the input and output, respectively, of an inverting amplifier that can accept an external
32.768kHz square wave reference on X1 or can be configured for use as an on-chip oscillator. A 32.768kHz
quartz crystal such as a Citizen CFS-206 is used with the
REV 1.2.0 2/13/01

X2
The Power control circuit accepts a VCC and a VBACK
input. The power control circuit will switch to VBACK
when VCC < VBACK – 0.2V. It will switch back to VCC
when VCC exceeds VBACK.

REAL TIME CLOCK OPERATION
The Real Time Clock (RTC) uses an external 32.768kHz
quartz crystal network or timebase to maintain an
accurate internal representation of the year, month,
day, date, hour, minute, and seconds. The RTC has
leap-year correction and a century byte. The clock will
also correct for months having fewer than 31 days and
will have a bit that controls 24-hour or AM/PM format.
After power up, when both VCC and VBACK fail, the
clock will not advance unless at least one byte is written
to the RTC register.
Reading the Real Time Clock
The RTC is read by initiating a read command and
specifying the address corresponding to the register of
the real time clock. The RTC registers can then be read
in a sequential read mode. Since the clock runs continuously and a read takes a finite amount of time, there
is the possibility that the clock could change during the

X1203
course of a read operation. In this device, the time is
latched by the read command (falling edge of the clock
on the ACK bit prior to RTC data output) into a separate latch to avoid time changes during the read operation. The clock continues to run. Alarms occurring
during a read are unaffected by the read operation.
Writing to the Real Time Clock
The time and date may be set by writing to the RTC registers. To avoid changing the current time by an incomplete write operation, the current time value is loaded
into a separate buffer at the falling edge of the clock on
the ACK bit before the RTC data input bytes, the clock
continues to run. The new serial input data replaces the
values in the buffer. This new RTC value is loaded back
into the RTC register by a stop bit at the end of a valid
write sequence. An invalid write operation aborts the
time update procedure and the contents of the buffer are
discarded. After a valid write operation the RTC will
reflect the newly loaded data beginning with the first
“one second” clock cycle after the stop bit. The RTC
continues to update the time while an RTC register write
is in progress and the RTC continues to run during any
nonvolatile write sequences. A single byte may be written to the RTC without affecting the other bytes.
CLOCK/CONTROL REGISTERS (CCR)
The Control/Clock Registers are located in an area logically separated from the array and are only accessible
following a slave byte of “1101111x” and reads or
writes to addresses [0000h:003Fh].
CCR Access
The contents of the CCR can be modified by performing
a byte or a page write operation directly to any address
in the CCR. Prior to writing to the CCR (except the status
register), however, the WEL and RWEL bits must be
set using a two step process (See section “Writing to
the Clock/Control Registers.”)
The CCR is divided into 5 sections. These are:
1. Alarm 0 (8 bytes)
2. Alarm 1 (8 bytes)
3. Control (1 byte)
4. Real Time Clock (8 bytes)
5. Status (1 byte)
REV 1.2.0 2/13/01
Sections 1) through 3) are nonvolatile and Sections 4)
and 5) are volatile. Each register is read and written
through buffers. The non volatile portion (or the counter
portion of the RTC) is updated only if RWEL is set and
after a valid write operation and stop bit. A sequential
read or page write operation provides access to the
contents of only one section of the CCR per operation.
Access to another section requires a new operation.
Continued reads or writes, once reaching the end of a
section, will wrap around to the start of the section. A
read or page write can begin at any address in the CCR.
Section 5) is a volatile register. It is not necessary to
set the RWEL bit prior to writing the status register.
Section 5) supports a single byte read or write only.
Continued reads or writes from this section terminates
the operation.
The state of the CCR can be read by performing a random read at any address in the CCR at any time. This
returns the contents of that register location. Additional
registers are read by performing a sequential read. The
read instruction latches all Clock registers into a buffer,
so an update of the clock does not change the time
being read. At the end of a read, the master supplies a
stop condition to end the operation and free the bus.
After a read of the CCR, the address remains at the
previous address +1 so the user can execute a current
address read of the CCR and continue reading the
next register.
ALARM REGISTERS
There are two alarm registers whose contents mimic
the contents of the RTC register, but add enable bits
and exclude the 24-hour time selection bit. The enable
bits specify which registers to use in the comparison
between the alarm and real time registers. For example:
– The user can set the X1203 to alarm every Wednesday
at 8:00AM by setting the EDWn, the EHRn and EMNn
enable bits to ‘1’ and setting the DWAn, HRAn and
MNAn Alarm registers to 8:00AM Wednesday.
– A daily alarm for 9:30PM results when the EHRn and
EMNn enable bits are set to ‘1’ and the HRAn and
MNAn registers set 9:30PM.
– Setting the EMOn bit in combination with other
enable bits and a specific alarm time, the user can
establish an alarm that triggers at the same time
once a year.

X1203
When there is a match, an alarm flag is set. The occurrence of an alarm can be determined by polling the
AL0 and AL1 bits, or by setting the AL0E and AL1E bits
to ‘1’ and monitoring the IRQ output. The AL0E and
AL1E bits enable the circuit that triggers the output
IRQ pin when an alarm occurs. Writing a ‘0’ to one of
the bits disables the output IRQ for that alarm condition, but the alarm condition can still be checked by
polling the alarm flag.
The alarm enable bits are located in the MSB of the
particular register. When all enable bits are set to ‘0’,
there are no alarms.

REAL TIME CLOCK REGISTERS
Table 2. Status Register (SR)
Year 2000 (Y2K)
The X1203 has a century byte that “rolls over” from 19
to 20 when the years byte changes from 99 to 00. The
Y2K byte can contain only the values of 19 or 20.
Day of the Week Register (DW)
This register provides a Day of the week status and
uses three bits DY2 to DY0 to represent the seven days
of the week. The counter advances in the cycle 0-1-23-4-5-6-0-1-2-... The assignment of a numerical value
to a specific day of the week is arbitrary and may be
decided by the system software designer. The Clock
Default value defines as ‘0’.
Clock/Calendar Registers (YR, MO, DT, HR, MN, SC)
These registers depict BCD representations of the
time. As such, SC (Seconds) and MN (Minutes) range
from 00 to 59, HR (Hour) is 1 to 12 with an AM or PM
indicator (H21 bit) or 0 to 23 (with T24 = 1), DT (Date)
is 1 to 31, MO (Month) is 1 to 12, YR (Year) is 0 to 99.
24-Hour Time
If the T24 bit of the HR register is 1, the RTC will use a
24-hour format. If the T24 bit is 0, the RTC will use 12hour format and bit H21 will function as an AM/PM indicator with a ‘1’ representing PM. The clock defaults to
standard time with H21 = 0.
Leap Years
Leap years add the day February 29 and are defined
as those years that are divisible by 4. Years divisible by
100 are not leap years, unless they are also divisible
by 400. This means that the year 2000 is a leap year,
the year 2100 is not. The X1203 does not correct for
the leap year in the year 2100.
STATUS REGISTER (SR)
The status register is located in the RTC area at address
003Fh. This is a volatile register only and is used to control the WEL and RWEL write enable latches, read an
optional low voltage sense bit, and read the two alarm
bits. This register is logically separated from both the
array and the clock/control registers (CCR).

BAT: Battery Supply—Volatile
This bit set to “1” indicates that the device is operating
from VBACK, not VCC. It is a read only bit and is set/
reset by hardware.
AL1, AL0: Alarm Bits—Volatile
These bits announce if either alarm 1 or alarm 2 match
the real time clock. If there is a match, the respective
bit is set to ‘1’. The falling edge of the last data bit in a
SR Read operation resets the flags. Note: Only the AL
bits that are set when an SR read starts will be reset.
An alarm bit that is set by an alarm occurring during an
SR read operation will remain set after the read operation is complete.
RWEL: Register Write Enable Latch—Volatile
This bit is a volatile latch that powers up in the LOW
(disabled) state. The RWEL bit must be set to “1” prior
to any writes to the clock/control registers. Writes to
RWEL bit do not cause a nonvolatile write cycle, so the
device is ready for the next operation immediately after
the stop condition. A write to the CCR requires both
the RWEL and WEL bits to be set in a specific
sequence.
WEL: Write Enable Latch—Volatile
The WEL bit controls the access to the CCR during a
write operation. This bit is a volatile latch that powers
up in the LOW (disabled) state. While the WEL bit is
LOW, writes to the CCR will be ignored (no acknowledge will be issued after the Data Byte). The WEL bit is
set by writing a “1” to the WEL bit and zeroes to the
other bits of the status register. Once set, WEL
remains set until either reset to 0 (by writing a “0” to the
WEL bit and zeroes to the other bits of the status register) or until the part powers up again. Writes to WEL bit
do not cause a non volatile write cycle, so the device is
ready for the next operation immediately after the stop
condition.

X1203
RTCF: Real Time Clock Fail Bit—Volatile
This bit is set to a ‘1’ after a total power failure. This is a
read only bit that is set by hardware when the device
powers up after having lost all power to the device. The
bit is set regardless of whether VCC or VBACK is
applied first. The loss of one or the other supplies does
not result in setting the RTCF bit. The first valid write to
the RTC (writing one byte is sufficient) resets the
RTCF bit to ‘0’.
Unused Bits
These devices do not use bits 3 or 4, but must have a
zero in these bit positions. The data byte output during
a SR read will contain zeros in these bit locations.
CONTROL REGISTERS
Interrupt Control Bits (AL1E, AL0E)
There are two interrupt control bits, Alarm 1 Interrupt
Enable (AL1E) and Alarm 0 Interrupt Enable (AL0E) to
specifically enable or disable the alarm interrupt signal
output. The interrupt output is enabled when either bit
is set to ‘1’. Two volatile bits (AL1 and AL0), associated
with these alarms, indicate if an alarm has happened.
These bits are set on an alarm condition regardless of
whether the alarm interrupts are enabled. The AL1 and
AL0 bits are reset by the falling edge of the 8th clock of
a read of the register containing the bits.
In an alternative mode (called pulsed interrupt mode),
controlled by an interrupt mode (IM) bit, the alarm 0
setting provides an output pulse on IRQ each time the
alarm matches the RTC. In this case the AL0 bit is not
used. Alarm 1 works as before (i.e. the AL1 bit is set
when an alarm occurs), but it is necessary to poll the
status register to determine whether a match has
occurred. This read operation is necessary to reset the
AL1 flag.
Normal Mode (IM Bit = 0)
A match of the RTC and the contents of the alarm 0
registers automatically sets the AL0 bit. If the AL0E bit
is also set, the output IRQ signal goes active (LOW). If
the AL0E bit is not set, the AL0 bit is set, but the IRQ
signal remains unchanged.
A match of the RTC and the contents of the alarm 1
registers automatically sets the AL1 bit. If the AL1E bit
is also set, the output IRQ signal goes active (LOW). If
the AL1E bit is not set, the AL1 bit is set, but the IRQ
signal remains unchanged.
REV 1.2.0 2/13/01
Reading the status register, containing the AL0 and
AL1 bits, resets the bits. The bits do not reset until the
falling edge of the 8th output clock of the status register
containing the alarm bits. When the bits reset, the output IRQ signal returns to the inactive state.
Pulsed Interrupt Mode (IM Bit = 1)
In this mode, the alarm interrupt enable bits (AL0E and
AL1E) are not used. Alarm 1 operates as before, so a
match of the RTC and alarm 1 sets the AL1 bit. Since
the interrupt enable bits have no function, it is necessary for the host processor to poll the AL1 bit to determine if an alarm has occurred.
Alarm 0 provides an output response. In this case,
when the RTC matches the alarm 0 registers, the output IRQ pulses one time. This pulse can be used to
control some outside circuit or event, without the need
for a local processor. The pulse is about 30ms in duration. All alarm 0 mask options are available, so this
becomes a very flexible long term repeat trigger.
WRITING TO THE CLOCK/CONTROL REGISTERS
Changing any of the nonvolatile bits of the clock/control
register requires the following steps:
– Write a 02h to the status register to set the Write
Enable Latch (WEL). This is a volatile operation, so
there is no delay after the write. (Operation preceeded by a start and ended with a stop.)
– Write a 06h to the status register to set both the Register Write Enable Latch (RWEL) and the WEL bit.
This is also a volatile cycle. The zeros in the data
byte are required. (Operation preceeded by a start
and ended with a stop.)
– Write one to 8 bytes to the clock/control registers
with the desired clock, alarm, or control data. This
sequence starts with a start bit, requires a slave byte
of “11011110” and an address within the CCR and is
terminated by a stop bit. A write to the CCR changes
EEPROM values so these initiate a nonvolatile write
cycle and will take up to 10ms to complete. Writes to
undefined areas have no effect. The RWEL bit is
reset by the completion of a nonvolatile write cycle,
so the sequence must be repeated to again initiate
another change to the CCR contents. If the
sequence is not completed for any reason (by sending an incorrect number of bits or sending a start
instead of a stop, for example) the RWEL bit is not
reset and the device remains in an active mode.

– Writing all zeros to the status register resets both the
WEL and RWEL bits.
– A read operation occurring between any of the previous operations will not interrupt the register write
operation.
– The RWEL and WEL bits can be reset by writing a 0
to the status register.
SERIAL COMMUNICATION
Interface Conventions
The device supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol. The protocol defines any device that sends data
onto the bus as a transmitter, and the receiving device
as the receiver. The device controlling the transfer is
called the master and the device being controlled is
called the slave. The master always initiates data
transfers, and provides the clock for both transmit and
receive operations. Therefore, the devices in this family
operate as slaves in all applications.
Clock and Data
Data states on the SDA line can change only during
SCL LOW. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating start and stop conditions. See
Figure 3.
All commands are preceded by the start condition,
which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The device continuously monitors the SDA and
SCL lines for the start condition and will not respond to
any command until this condition has been met. See
Figure 4.

Start Condition
All commands are preceded by the start condition,
which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA when SCL is
HIGH. The device continuously monitors the SDA and
SCL lines for the start condition and will not respond to
any command until this condition has been met. See
Figure 4.
Data Stable
Stop Condition
All communications must be terminated by a stop condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA when
SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is also used to place
the device into the standby power mode after a read
sequence. A stop condition can only be issued after the
transmitting device has released the bus. See Figure 4.

Acknowledge
Acknowledge is a software convention used to indicate
successful data transfer. The transmitting device, either
master or slave, will release the bus after transmitting
eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the receiver will
pull the SDA line LOW to acknowledge that it received
the eight bits of data. Refer to Figure 5.
The device will respond with an acknowledge after recognition of a start condition and if the correct Device
Identifier and Select bits are contained in the Slave
Address Byte. If a write operation is selected, the
device will respond with an acknowledge after the
receipt of each subsequent eight bit word. The device
will acknowledge all incoming data and address bytes,
except for:
– The slave address byte when the device identifier
and/or select bits are incorrect
– All data bytes of a write when the WEL in the write
protect register is LOW
– The 2nd data byte of a register write operation (when
only 1 data byte is allowed)
In the read mode, the device will transmit eight bits of
data, release the SDA line, then monitor the line for an
acknowledge. If an acknowledge is detected and no
stop condition is generated by the master, the device
will continue to transmit data. The device will terminate
further data transmissions if an acknowledge is not
detected. The master must then issue a stop condition
to return the device to standby mode and place the
device into a known state.

slave address byte and the CCR address bytes. This
gives the master access to any one of the words in the
CCR. (Note: Prior to writing to the CCR, the master
must write a 02h, then 06h to the status register in two
preceding operations to enable the write operation.
See “Writing to the Clock/Control Registers” on page
6.) Upon receipt of each address byte, the X1203
responds with an acknowledge. After receiving both
address bytes the X1203 awaits the eight bits of data.
After receiving the 8 data bits, the X1203 again
responds with an acknowledge. The master then terminates the transfer by generating a stop condition. The
X1203 then begins an internal write cycle of the data to
the nonvolatile memory. During the internal write cycle,
the device inputs are disabled, so the device will not
respond to any requests from the master. The SDA output is at high impedance. See Figure 6.
Page Write
The X1203 has a page write operation. It is initiated in
the same manner as the byte write operation; but
instead of terminating the write cycle after the first data
byte is transferred, the master can transmit up to 7
more bytes to the clock/control registers.
Note: Prior to writing to the CCR, the master must
write a 02h, then 06h to the status register in two proceeding operations to enable the write operation. See
“Writing to the Clock/Control Registers” on page 6.)

After the receipt of each byte, the X1203 responds with
an acknowledge, and the address is internally incremented by one. When the counter reaches the end of
the page, it “rolls over” and goes back to the first
address on the same page. If the master supplies
more than 8 bytes of data, then the previously loaded
data is over written by the new data, one byte at a time.
The master terminates the data byte loading by issuing
a stop condition, which causes the device to begin the
non volatile write cycle. As with the byte write operation, all inputs are disabled until completion of the internal write cycle. Refer to Figure 7 for the address,
acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.
Stops and Write Modes
Stop conditions that terminate write operations must
be sent by the master after sending at least 1 full data
byte and it’s associated ACK signal. If a stop is issued
in the middle of a data byte, or before 1 full data byte +
ACK is sent, then the device will reset itself without
performing the write. The contents of the array will not
be affected.

Acknowledge Polling
The disabling of the inputs during non volatile write
cycles can be used to take advantage of the typical
5ms write cycle time. Once the stop condition is issued
to indicate the end of the master’s byte load operation,
the device initiates the internal non volatile write cycle.
Acknowledge polling can be initiated immediately. To
do this, the master issues a start condition followed by
the Slave Address Byte for a write or read operation. If
the device is still busy with the non volatile write cycle
then no ACK will be returned. If the device has completed the write operation, an ACK will be returned and
the host can then proceed with the read or write operation. Refer to the flow chart in Figure 8.

READ OPERATIONS

Enter ACK Polling
Current Address Read
Internally the device contains an address counter that
maintains the address of the last word read incremented by one. Therefore, if the last read was to
address n, the next read operation would access data
from address n + 1.

Upon receipt of the slave address byte with the R/W bit

Random Read
Random read operation allows the master to access
any memory location in the array. Prior to issuing the
Slave Address Byte with the R/W bit set to one, the
master must first perform a “dummy” write operation.
The master issues the start condition and the Slave
Address Byte, receives an acknowledge, then issues
the CCR Address Bytes. After acknowledging receipt
of the CCR Address Bytes, the master immediately
issues another start condition and the Slave Address
Byte with the R/W bit set to one. This is followed by an
acknowledge from the device and then by the eight bit
word. The master terminates the read operation by not
responding with an acknowledge and then issuing a
stop condition. Refer to Figure 10 for the address,
acknowledge, and data transfer sequence.
In a similar operation called “Set Current Address,” the
device sets the address if a stop is issued instead of
the second start shown in Figure 11. The X1203 then
goes into standby mode after the stop and all bus
activity will be ignored until a start is detected. This
operation loads the new address into the address
counter. The next Current Address Read operation will
read from the newly loaded address. This operation
could be useful if the master knows the next address it
needs to read, but is not ready for the data.

Sequential Read
Sequential reads can be initiated as either a current

byte is transmitted as with the other modes; however,
the master now responds with an acknowledge, indicating it requires additional data. The device continues to

terminates the read operation by not responding with
an acknowledge and then issuing a stop condition.

DEVICE ADDRESSING
Following a start condition, the master must output a
slave address byte. The first four bits of the slave
address byte specify access to the CCR. Slave bits
1101 access the CCR.
Bit 3 through Bit 1 of the slave byte specify the device
select bits. These are set to 111.
The last bit of the slave address byte defines the operation to be performed. When this R/W bit is a one, then
a read operation is selected. A zero selects a write
operation. Refer to Figure 12.
After loading the entire slave address byte from the
SDA bus, the device compares the device identifier and
device select bits with 1101111. Upon a correct compare,
the device outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line.
Following the slave byte is a two byte CCR address.
The CCR address is either supplied by the master
device or obtained from an internal counter.
In a random read operation, the slave byte in the
“dummy write” portion must match the slave byte in the
“read” section. That is, for a random read of the clock/
control registers, the slave byte must be 1101111x in
both places.
