Rev 2; 9/08
I2C Digital Input RTC with Alarm
Features
The DS1375 digital real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power
clock/calendar that does not require a crystal. The
device operates from a digital clock input pin at one of
four frequencies: 32.768kHz, 8.192kHz, 60Hz, or 50Hz.
It maintains 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 an
AM/PM indicator. Two programmable time-of-day/date
alarms, a programmable square-wave output, and 16
bytes of SRAM are provided. Address and data are
transferred serially through an I2C bidirectional bus.

Limits at -40°C are guaranteed by design and not production tested.
All voltages are referenced to ground.
For the CLK pin, input voltages above VCC + 0.3V cause current to flow into the device. The input current must not
exceed the current drawn by the circuit that is connected to VCC. Otherwise, current flows out of the DS1375, raising the
voltage level on the VCC bus.
VIL MIN on the CLK pin can exceed -0.3V as long as the current is limited to less than 1mA.
ICCA—SCL clocking at max frequency = 400kHz.
CLK pin running at 32,768Hz, rise and fall times at 10ns or less.

After this period, the first clock pulse is generated.
A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (see the VIHMIN of the SCL signal) to
bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
The maximum tHD:DAT is only met if the device does not stretch the low period (tLOW) of the SCL signal.
A fast-mode device can be used in a standard-mode system, but the requirement tSU:DAT ≥ 250ns must then be met.
This is automatically the case if the device does not stretch the low period of the SCL signal. If such a device does
stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line tR MAX + tSU:DAT = 1000 + 250
= 1250ns before the SCL line is released.

Detailed Description
The DS1375 digital input RTC with alarm 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 through the
I2C serial interface 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 an AM/PM
indicator. The DS1375 requires an external clock
source selectable between 32,768Hz, 8192Hz, 60Hz,
or 50Hz for the timekeeping function. Sixteen bytes of
SRAM are provided for additional user storage.
When power is applied, the time and date registers are
reset to 01/01/00 01 00:00:00 (MM/DD/YY DOW
HH:MM:SS).
Operation
The DS1375 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. The functional diagram in Figure 2 shows the main
elements of the serial RTC.
6
Address Map
Table 1 shows the address map for the timekeeping
registers and SRAM. The 16 bytes of SRAM occupy
addresses 10h–1Fh. During a multibyte access, when
the address pointer reaches the end of the register
space (1Fh), it wraps around to location 00h. On a
I2C 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 reread the registers in
case the main registers update during a read.
Note: Unless otherwise specified, the state of the registers is not defined when power is first applied.
Clock and Calendar
The time and calendar information is obtained by reading the appropriate register bytes. Table 1 shows the
RTC registers. The time and calendar data 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 DS1375 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 10hour bit (20–23 hours). The century bit (bit 7 of the

month register) is toggled when the years register overflows from 99 to 00.
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
time information is read from these secondary registers,
while the clock continues to run. This eliminates the
need to reread the registers in case the main registers
update during a read.
The countdown chain is reset whenever the seconds
register is written. Write transfers occur on the acknowledge from the DS1375. Once the countdown chain is
reset, to avoid rollover issues the remaining time and
date registers must be written within 1 second. The 1Hz
square-wave output, if enabled, transitions high 500ms
after the seconds data transfer, provided the clock
input is already being driven.

Table 1. Timekeeping Registers and SRAM
DS1375
I2C Digital Input RTC with Alarm
Alarms
The DS1375 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 alarm enable
and INTCN bits of the control register) to activate the
SQW/INT output on an alarm match condition. Bit 7 of
the time-of-day/date alarm registers are mask bits
(Table 2). When all the mask bits for each alarm are
logic 0, an alarm only occurs when the values in the
timekeeping registers match the corresponding values
stored in the time-of-day/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, and the
INTCN bit is set to logic 1, the alarm condition activates
the SQW/INT signal. The match is tested on the onceper-second update of the time and date registers.
Special Purpose Registers
The DS1375 has two additional registers (control and
status) that control the RTC, alarms, and square-wave
output.

Bit 7/Enable Clock (ECLK). When ECLK is set to logic
1, the CLK input pin is enabled to clock the internal
divider chain and advance the timekeeping registers.
When ECLK is set to logic 0, the divider chain is held in
reset, and the time is not allowed to advance. To synchronize the DS1375 time to a reference, write the
ECLK bit to 0, write the time value, then write ECLK
back to 1. Doing so synchronizes the time value to within one period of the CLK pin from the point in the interface protocol where the ECLK bit is written. ECLK is set
to logic 1 when power is first applied.
Bits 6, 5/Clock Select Bits 1, 0 (CLKSEL1,
CLKSEL0). These bits determine how the CLK input
pin is divided down to get the 1Hz reference clock for
the timekeeping registers (Table 3). The CLKSEL0–1
bits are cleared to logic 0 when power is first applied.
Bits 4, 3/Rate Select (RS2 and RS1). These bits control the frequency of the square-wave output when the
square wave has been enabled and the CLKSEL0 and
CLKSEL1 bits are set to 0. Table 3 shows the squarewave frequencies that can be selected with the RS bits.
These bits are set to logic 1 (8.192kHz) when power is
first applied. If either CLKSEL0 or CLKSEL1 are logic 1,
the 1Hz signal is output.
Bit 2/Interrupt Control (INTCN). This bit controls the
SQW/INT signal. When the INTCN bit is set to logic 0, a
square wave is output on the SQW/INT pin. When the
INTCN bit is set to logic 1, a match between the timekeeping registers and either of the alarm registers activates the SQW/INT (if the alarm is also enabled). The
corresponding alarm flag is always set, regardless of
the state of the INTCN bit. The INTCN bit is set to logic
0 when power is first applied.
Bit 1/Alarm 2 Interrupt Enable (A2IE). When set to
logic 1, this bit permits the alarm 2 flag (A2F) bit in the
status register to assert SQW/INT (when INTCN = 1).
When the A2IE bit is set to logic 0 or INTCN 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.
Bit 0/Alarm 1 Interrupt Enable (A1IE). When set to
logic 1, this bit permits the alarm 1 flag (A1F) bit in the
status register to assert SQW/INT (when INTCN = 1).
When the A1IE bit is set to logic 0 or INTCN is set to
logic 0, the A1F bit does not initiate the SQW/INT signal. The A1IE bit is disabled (logic 0) when power is
first applied.

the bus specifications a standard mode (100kHz max
clock rate) and a fast mode (400kHz max clock rate)
are defined. The DS1375 works in both modes.
The following bus protocol has been defined (Figure 3):
•
Data transfer can 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 can be
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 data line’s
state from high to low, while the clock line is high,
defines a START condition.
Stop data transfer: A change in the data line’s
state from low to high, while the clock line is high,
defines a STOP condition.
Data valid: The data line’s state 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
I2C Serial Data Bus
The DS1375 supports a bidirectional I2C 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 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 DS1375 operates as a
slave on the I2C bus. Connections to the bus are made

Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition and terminated with a STOP condition. The
number of data bytes transferred between the
START and the STOP conditions is not limited, and
is 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. 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.
Figures 4 and 5 detail how data transfer is accomplished on the I2C bus. Depending upon the state of
the R/W bit, two types of data transfer are possible:
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 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. Next follows a number of data bytes
transmitted by the slave to the master. 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 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.
The DS1375 can operate in the following two modes:
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. The slave address byte is the first byte received
after the master generates the START condition.
The slave address byte contains the 7-bit DS1375
address, which is 1101000, followed by the direction bit (R/W), which is 0 for a write. After receiving
and decoding the slave address byte, the DS1375
outputs an acknowledge on SDA. After the DS1375
acknowledges the slave address + write bit, the
master transmits a word address to the DS1375.
This sets the register pointer on the DS1375, with
the DS1375 acknowledging the transfer. The master can then transmit zero or more bytes of data,
with the DS1375 acknowledging each byte
received. The register pointer increments after
each data byte is transferred. The master generates a STOP condition to terminate the data write.
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. The
DS1375 transmits serial data on SDA while the serial clock is input on SCL. 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. The slave address byte is the first byte
received after the master generates the START
condition. The slave address byte contains the 7-bit
DS1375 address, which is 1101000, followed by
the direction bit (R/W), which is 1 for a read. After
receiving and decoding the slave address byte, the
DS1375 outputs an acknowledge on SDA. The
DS1375 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 DS1375 must receive a not acknowledge to
end a read.
