DS1308
Low-Current I2C RTC with 56-Byte NV RAM
General Description
The DS1308 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power,
full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus
56 bytes of NV RAM. Address and data are transferred
serially through an I2C interface. The clock/calendar
provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month,
and year information. The end of the month date 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 DS1308 has a built-in power-sense circuit
that detects power failures and automatically switches to
the backup supply, maintaining time and date operation.

Warning: Negative undershoots below -0.3V while the part is in battery-backed mode may cause loss of data.
Note 2: Limits are 100% production tested at TA = +25NC and TA = +85NC. Limits over the operating temperature range and
relevant supply voltage are guaranteed by design and characterization. Typical values are not guaranteed.
Note 3: SCL clocking at max frequency. VSCL = 0V to VCC.
Note 4: Specified with I2C bus inactive. Timekeeping and square-wave functions operational.
Note 5: CH = ECLK = SQWE = 0.
Note 6: CH = ECLK = 0, SQWE = RS1 = RS0 = 1, IOUT = 0mA.
Note 7: CH = 1. ECLK = SQWE = 0.
Note 8: The minimum SCL clock frequency is limited by the bus timeout feature, which resets the serial bus interface if SCL is
held low for tTIMEOUT.
Note 9: After this period, the first clock pulse is generated.
Note 10:A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (referenced to the VIHMIN of the SCL
signal) to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
Note 11:The maximum tHD:DAT has only to be met if the device does not stretch the low period (tLOW) of the SCL signal.
Note 12:A fast-mode device can be used in a standard-mode system, but the requirement tSU:DAT R to 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 tRMAX + tSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250ns
before the SCL line is released.
Note 13:CB is the total capacitance of one bus line, including all connected devices, in pF.
Note 14:The parameter tOSF is the period of time the oscillator must be stopped for the OSF flag to be set over the voltage range
of 2.4V P VCC P VCCMAX.
Note 15:The DS1308 can detect any single SCL clock held low longer than tTIMEOUTMIN. The device’s I2C interface is in reset
state and can receive a new START condition when SCL is held low for at least tTIMEOUTMAX. Once the part detects this
condition the SDA output is released. The oscillator must be running for this function to work.
Note 16:Guaranteed by design and not 100% production tested.

Detailed Description
The DS1308 serial RTC is a low-power, full BCD clock/
calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data
are transferred serially through an I2C interface. The
clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day,
date, month, and year information. The end of the month
date 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 DS1308 has a built-in power-sense
circuit that detects power failures and automatically
switches to the VBAT supply.
Operation
The DS1308 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 device is
fully accessible and data can be written and read when
VCC is greater than VPF. However, when VCC falls below
CLOCK AND
CALENDAR REGISTERS
DS1308
VPF, the internal clock registers are blocked from any
access. If VBAT is greater than VBAT, the device power is
switched from VCC to VBAT when VCC drops below VPF.
If VBAT is less than VPF, the device power is switched
from VCC to VBAT when VCC drops below VBAT. The
oscillator and timekeeping functions are maintained
from the VBAT source until VCC returns above VPF, read
and write access is allowed after tREC. The Functional
Diagram shows the main elements of the DS1308.
An enable bit in the seconds register (CH) controls the
oscillator. Oscillator startup times are highly dependent
upon crystal characteristics, PCB leakage, and layout.
High ESR and excessive capacitive loads are the major
contributors to long startup times. A circuit using a crystal
with the recommended characteristics and proper layout
usually starts within 1 second.
On the first application of power to the device, the time
and date registers are reset to 01/01/00 01 00:00:00 (DD/
MM/YY DOW HH:MM:SS), and CH bit in the seconds
register is set to 0.
����������������������������������������������������������������� Maxim Integrated Products 8
DS1308
Low-Current I2C RTC with 56-Byte NV RAM
Freshness Seal Mode
When a battery is first attached to the device, the device
does not immediately provide battery-backup power to
the RTC or internal circuitry. After VCC exceeds VPF,
the devices leave the freshness seal mode and provide
battery-backup power whenever VCC subsequently falls
below VBAT. This mode allows attachment of the battery
during product manufacturing, but no battery capacity is
consumed until after the system has been activated for
the first time. As a result, minimum battery energy is used
during storage and shipping.
Oscillator Circuit
The DS1308 uses an external 6pF 32.768kHz crystal. The
oscillator circuit does not require any external resistors or
capacitors to operate. See Table 2 for the external crystal
parameters. The Functional Diagram shows a simplified
schematic of the oscillator circuit. The startup time is
usually less than 1 second when using a crystal with the
specified characteristics.
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. Figure 3 shows a typical PCB layout for isolating
the crystal and oscillator from noise. Refer to Application
Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Maxim Real-Time
Clocks (RTCs) for detailed information.

DS1308
Low-Current I2C RTC with 56-Byte NV RAM
RTC and RAM Address Map
Table 3 shows the address map for the RTC and RAM
registers. The RTC registers and control register are
located in address locations 00h–07h. The RAM registers are located in address locations 08h–3Fh. During a
multibyte access, when the register pointer reaches 3Fh
(the end of RAM space) it wraps around to location 00h
(the beginning of the clock space). On an I2C START, or
register pointer incrementing to location 00h, the current
time and date is transferred to a second set of registers.
The time and date in the secondary registers are read in
a multibyte data transfer, while the clock continues 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 time and calendar are
set or initialized by writing the appropriate register bytes.
The contents of the time and calendar registers are in the
BCD format. Bit 7 of Register 0 is the clock halt (CH) bit.
When this bit is set to 1, the oscillator is disabled. When
cleared to 0, the oscillator is enabled. The clock can
be halted whenever the timekeeping functions are not
required, which minimizes VBAT current (IBATDAT) when
VCC is not applied.
The day-of-week register increments at midnight. Values
that correspond to the day of week are user-defined
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 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 from the DS1308. 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 oscillator is already running.
The DS1308 runs in either 12-hour or 24-hour mode.
Bit 6 of the hours register is defined as the 12-hour 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
20-hour bit (20–23 hours). If the 12/24-hour mode select
is changed, the hours register must be re-initialized to
the new format.

Bit 7: Output Control (OUT). Controls the output level of the SQW/CLKIN pin when the square-wave output is disabled
and VCC>VPF. If SQWE = 0, the logic level on the SQW/CLKIN pin is 1 if OUT = 1; it is 0 if OUT = 0. See Table 4.
Bit 6: Enable Clock Input (ECLK). This bit controls the direction of the SQW/CLKIN pin (see Table 4). When ECLK = 1,
the SQW/CLKIN pin is an input, with the expected input rate defined by the states of RS1 and RS0. When ECLK = 0, the
SQW/CLKIN pin is an output, with the square-wave frequency defined by the states of RS1 and RS0.
Bit 5: Oscillator Stop Flag (OSF). A logic 1 in this bit indicates that the oscillator has stopped or was stopped for some
time period and can be used to judge the validity of the clock and calendar data. This bit is edge triggered, and is set
to logic 1 when the internal circuitry senses the oscillator has transitioned from a normal run state to a STOP condition.
The following are examples of conditions that may cause the OSF bit to be set:

External influences on the crystal (i.e., noise, leakage, etc.).
This bit remains at logic 1 until written to logic 0. This bit can only be written to logic 0. Attempting to write OSF to logic 1
leaves the value unchanged.
Bit 4: Square-Wave Enable (SQWE). When set to logic 1, this bit enables the oscillator output to operate with either
VCC or VBAT applied. The frequency of the square-wave output depends upon the value of the RS0 and RS1 bits.
Bit 3: Loss of Signal (LOS). This status bit indicates the state of the CLKIN pin. The LOS bit is set to 1 when the RTC
counter is no longer conditioned by the external clock. This occurs when 1) ECLK = 0, or 2) when the CLKIN input signal
stops toggling, or 3) when the CLKIN frequency differs by more than Q0.8% from the selected input frequency. This bit
remains a 1 until written to 0. Attempting to write LOS = 1 leaves the value unchanged. Clearing the LOS flag when the
CLKIN frequency is invalid inhibits subsequent detections of the input frequency deviation.
Bit 2: Battery Backup Clock (BBCLK). When set to logic 1, this bit enables the SQW/CLKIN I/O while the part is powered by VBAT. When set to logic 0, this bit disables the SQW/CLKIN I/O while the part is powered by VBAT.
Bits 1 and 0: Rate Select (RS1 and RS0). These bits control the frequency of the SQW/CLKIN output when the squarewave has been enabled (SQWE = 1). Table 4 lists the square-wave frequencies that can be selected with the RS bits.

Low-Current I2C RTC with 56-Byte NV RAM
External Synchronization
When an external clock reference is used, the input from
SQW/CLKIN is divided down to 1Hz. The 1Hz from the
divider (Ext-1Hz, see Functional Diagram) is used to
correct the 1Hz that is derived from the 32.768kHz oscillator (Osc-1Hz). As Osc-1Hz drifts in relation to Ext-1Hz,
Osc-1Hz is digitally adjusted.
As shown in the Functional Diagram, the three highest
frequencies driving the SQW/CLKIN pin are derived
from the uncorrected oscillator, while the 1Hz output is
derived from the adjusted Osc-1Hz signal.
Conceptually, the circuit can be thought of as two 1Hz
signals, one derived from the internal oscillator and
the other from the external reference clock, with the
oscillator-derived 1Hz signal being locked to the 1Hz
signal derived from the external reference clock. The
edges of the 1Hz signals do not need to be aligned with
each other. While the external clock source is present
and within tolerance, the Ext-1Hz and Osc-1Hz maintain
their existing lock, regardless of their edge alignment,
with periodic correction of the Osc‑1Hz signal. If the
external signal is lost and then regained sometime later,
the signals re-lock with whatever new alignment exists
(Figure 4).
The Ext-1Hz is used by the device as long as it is within
tolerance, which is about 0.8% of Osc-1Hz. While Ext-1Hz
is within tolerance, the skew between the two signals may
shift until a change of about 7.8ms accumulates, after
which Osc-1Hz signal is adjusted (Figure 5). The adjustment is accomplished by digitally adjusting the 32kHz
oscillator divider chain.

If the difference between Ext-1Hz and Osc-1Hz is
greater than about 0.8%, Osc-1Hz runs unadjusted (see

the enable external clock input bit (ECLK) is set.
transfer to indicate that it immediately initiates a new
data transfer following the current one. Repeated
STARTs are commonly used during read operations
to identify a specific memory address to begin a data
transfer. A repeated START condition is issued identically to a normal START condition. See Figure 1 for
applicable timing.
I2C Serial Port Operation
I2C Slave Address
The DS1308’s slave address byte is D0h. The first byte
sent to the device includes the device identifier and the
R/W bit (Figure 6). The device address sent by the I2C
master must match the address assigned to the device.
Bit Write: Transitions of SDA must occur during the low
state of SCL. The data on SDA must remain valid and
unchanged during the entire high pulse of SCL plus the
setup and hold time requirements (Figure 1). Data is
shifted into the device during the rising edge of the SCL.
Bit Read: At the end a write operation, the master
must release the SDA bus line for the proper amount
of setup time before the next rising edge of SCL during a bit read (Figure 1). The device shifts out each
bit of data on SDA at the falling edge of the previous
SCL pulse and the data bit is valid at the rising edge
of the current SCL pulse. Remember that the master
generates all SCL clock pulses including when it is
reading bits from the slave.
Acknowledge (ACK and NACK): An acknowledge
(ACK) or not-acknowledge (NACK) is always the 9th
bit transmitted during a byte transfer. The device
receiving data (the master during a read or the slave
during a write operation) performs an ACK by transmitting a zero during the 9th bit. A device performs
a NACK by transmitting a one during the 9th bit.
Timing for the ACK and NACK is identical to all other
bit writes. An ACK is the acknowledgment that the
device is properly receiving data. A NACK is used to
terminate a read sequence or as an indication that the
device is not receiving data.
Byte Write: A byte write consists of 8 bits of information transferred from the master to the slave (most
significant bit first) plus a 1-bit acknowledgment from
the slave to the master. The 8 bits transmitted by the
master are done according to the bit write definition
and the acknowledgment is read using the bit read
definition.
Byte Read: A byte read is an 8-bit information transfer
from the slave to the master plus a 1-bit ACK or NACK
from the master to the slave. The 8 bits of information
that are transferred (most significant bit first) from the
slave to the master are read by the master using the
bit read definition, and the master transmits an ACK
using the bit write definition to receive additional data

I2C Definitions
The following terminology is commonly used to describe
I2C data transfers.
Master Device: The master device controls the slave
devices on the bus. The master device generates SCL
clock pulses and START and STOP conditions.
Slave Devices: Slave devices send and receive data
at the master’s request.
Bus Idle or Not Busy: Time between STOP and
START conditions when both SDA and SCL are inactive and in their logic-high states. When the bus is idle
it often initiates a low-power mode for slave devices.
START Condition: A START condition is generated
by the master to initiate a new data transfer with a
slave. Transitioning SDA from high to low while SCL
remains high generates a START condition. See
Figure 1 for applicable timing.
STOP Condition: A STOP condition is generated
by the master to end a data transfer with a slave.
Transitioning SDA from low to high while SCL remains
high generates a STOP condition. See Figure 1 for
applicable timing.
Repeated START Condition: The master can use
a repeated START condition at the end of one data

DS1308

bytes. The master must NACK the last byte read to
terminate communication so the slave returns control
of SDA to the master.
Slave Address Byte: Each slave on the I2C bus
responds to a slave address byte sent immediately
following a START condition. The slave address byte
contains the slave address in the most significant 7
bits and the R/W bit in the least significant bit. The
slave address is D0h and cannot be modified by the
user. When the R/W bit is 0 (such as in D0h), the master is indicating it writes data to the slave. If R/W = 1,
(D1h in this case), the master is indicating it wants
to read from the slave. If an incorrect slave address
is written, the DS1308 assumes the master is communicating with another I2C device and ignores the
communication until the next START condition is sent.
I2C Communication
Writing a Single Byte to a Slave: The master must
generate a START condition, write the slave address
byte (R/W = 0), write the memory address, write
the byte of data, and generate a STOP condition.
Remember the master must read the slave’s acknowledgment during all byte write operations.
Writing Multiple Bytes to a Slave: To write multiple
bytes to a slave, the master generates a START condition, writes the slave address byte (R/W = 0), writes
the starting memory address, writes multiple data
bytes, and generates a STOP condition.
Reading a Single Byte from a Slave: Unlike the
write operation that uses the specified memory
address byte to define where the data is to be
written, the read operation occurs at the present
value of the memory address counter. To read a
single byte from the slave, the master generates
a START condition, writes the slave address byte
with R/W = 1, reads the data byte with a NACK to
indicate the end of the transfer, and generates a
STOP condition. However, since requiring the master to keep track of the memory address counter is
Memory Address: During an I2C write operation, the
master must transmit a memory address to identify
the memory location where the slave is to store the
data. The memory address is always the second byte
transmitted during a write operation following the
slave address byte.

Low-Current I2C RTC with 56-Byte NV RAM
impractical, the following method should be used to
perform reads from a specified memory location.
Manipulating the Address Counter for Reads: A
dummy write cycle can be used to force the address
counter to a particular value. To do this the master generates a START condition, writes the slave
address byte (R/W = 0), writes the memory address
where it desires to read, generates a repeated START
condition, writes the slave address byte (R/W = 1),
reads data with ACK or NACK as applicable, and
generates a STOP condition. See Figure 7 for a read
example using the repeated START condition to
specify the starting memory location.
Reading Multiple Bytes From a Slave: The read
operation can be used to read multiple bytes with a
single transfer. When reading bytes from the slave,
the master simply ACKs the data byte if it desires to
read another byte before terminating the transaction.
After the master reads the last byte it must NACK to
indicate the end of the transfer and then it generates
a STOP condition.
Because the DS1308 does not use clock cycle stretching, a master using either an open-drain output with a
pullup resistor or CMOS output driver (push-pull) could
be used for SCL.
Battery Charge Protection
The DS1308 contains Maxim’s redundant battery-charge
protection circuit to prevent any charging of an external
battery.
Handling, PCB Layout, and Assembly
Avoid running signal traces under the package, unless
a ground plane is placed between the package and the
signal line.
The lead(Pb)-free/RoHS package can be soldered using
a reflow profile that complies with JEDEC J-STD-020.
Moisture-sensitive packages are shipped from the factory dry-packed. Handling instructions listed on the package label must be followed to prevent damage during
reflow. Refer to the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 standard for
moisture-sensitive device (MSD) classifications.
Chip Information
Bus Timeout
To avoid an unintended I2C interface timeout, SCL
should not be held low longer than tTIMEOUTMIN. The
I2C interface is in the reset state and can receive a
new START condition when SCL is held low for at least
tTIMEOUTMAX. When the part detects this condition, SDA
is released and allowed to float. For the timeout function to
work, the oscillator must be enabled and running.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
To achieve the best results when using the DS1308,
decouple the VCC power supply with a 0.01FF and/or
0.1FF capacitor. Use a high-quality, ceramic, surfacemount capacitor if possible. Surface-mount components
minimize lead inductance, which improves performance,
and ceramic capacitors tend to have adequate highfrequency response for decoupling applications.
Using Open-Drain Outputs
The SQW/CLKIN output is open drain and therefore
requires an external pullup resistor to realize a logic-high
output level.
