DS1339A
Low-Current, I2C, Serial Real-Time Clock
General Description
The DS1339A serial real-time clock (RTC) is a lowpower clock/date device with two programmable timeof-day alarms and a programmable square-wave output.
Address and data are transferred serially through an I2C
bus. The clock/date 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. The DS1339A has a builtin power-sense circuit that detects power failures and
automatically switches to the backup supply, maintaining
time, date, and alarm operation.

WARNING: Under no circumstances are negative undershoots, of any amplitude, allowed when device is in battery-backup
mode.
Note 2: Limits are 100% production tested at TA = +25NC and TA = +85NC. Limits over the operating temperature range and relevant supply voltage range are guaranteed by design and characterization. Typical values are not guaranteed.
Note 3: SCL only.
Note 4: SDA and SQW/INT.
Note 5:ICCA—SCL at fSCL max, VIL = 0.0V, VIH = VCC, trickle charger disabled.
Note 6: Specified with the I2C bus inactive, VIL = 0.0V, VIH = VCC, trickle charger disabled.
Note 7:VCC must be less than 3.63V if the 200I resistor is selected.
Note 8: Using recommended crystal on X1 and X2.
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 (referred to the VIHMIN of the SCL signal)
to bridge the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
Note 11:The maximum tHD:DAT need only 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 tR(MAX) + tSU:DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250ns
before the SCL line is released.
Note 13:CB—total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
Note 14:Guaranteed by design; not production tested.
Note 15:The parameter tOSF is the period of time the oscillator must be stopped for the OSF flag to be set.
Note 16: The DS1339A 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 device detects
this condition, the SDA output is released. The oscillator must be running for this function to work.
Note 17:This delay applies only if the oscillator is running. If the oscillator is disabled or stopped, no power-up delay occurs.

FUNCTION
Connections for 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, see the Applications
Information section and refer to Application Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Dallas Real-Time Clocks.
Secondary Power Supply. Supply voltage must be held between 1.3V and 3.7V for proper operation.
This pin can be connected to a primary cell, such as a lithium coin cell. Additionally, this pin can be
connected to a rechargeable cell or a super cap when used in conjunction with the trickle-charge
feature. Diodes should not be placed in series between the backup source and the VBACKUP input,
or improper operation will result. If a backup supply is not required, VBACKUP must be grounded. UL
recognized to ensure against reverse charging current when used with a primary lithium cell. For more

Square-Wave/Interrupt Output. Programmable square-wave or interrupt output signal. The SQW/INT pin
is an open-drain output and requires an external pullup resistor. The pull up voltage may be up to 5.5V
regardless of the voltage on VCC. If not used, this pin may be left unconnected.
Primary Power Supply. When voltage is applied within normal limits, the device is fully accessible and
data can be written and read. When a backup supply is connected and VCC is below VPF, reads and
writes are inhibited. The timekeeping and alarm functions operate when the device is powered by VCC or
VBACKUP.

Operation
The DS1339A 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 VPF, the internal clock registers are blocked
from any access. If VPF is less than VBACKUP, the device
power is switched from VCC to VBACKUP when VCC
drops below VPF. If VPF is greater than VBACKUP, the
device power is switched from VCC to VBACKUP when
VCC drops below VBACKUP. The registers are maintained
from the VBACKUP source until VCC is returned to nominal
levels. The Functional Diagram shows the main elements
of the serial real-time clock.

pF
*The crystal, traces, and crystal input pins should be isolated
from RF generating signals. Refer to Application Note 58:
Crystal Considerations for Dallas Real-Time Clocks for additional specifications.
The power-control function is provided by a precise,
temperature-compensated voltage reference and a
comparator circuit that monitors the VCC level. The
device is fully accessible and data can be written and
read when VCC is greater than VPF. However, when VCC
falls below VPF, the internal clock registers are blocked
from any access. If VPF is less than VBACKUP, the device
power is switched from VCC to VBACKUP when VCC
drops below VPF. If VPF is greater than VBACKUP, the
device power is switched from VCC to VBACKUP when
VCC drops below VBACKUP. The registers are maintained
from the VBACKUP source until VCC is returned to nominal
levels (Table 1). After VCC returns above VPF, read and
write access is allowed after tREC (Figure 2). 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).
Oscillator Circuit
The DS1339A uses an external 32.768kHz crystal. The
oscillator circuit does not require any external resistors
or capacitors to operate. Table 2 specifies several
crystal parameters for the external crystal. The Functional
Diagram shows a basic schematic of the oscillator circuit.
The startup time is usually less than 1 second when using
a crystal with the specified characteristics.

DS1339A
Low-Current, I2C, Serial Real-Time Clock
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.
Additional error is added by crystal frequency drift
caused by temperature shifts. External circuit noise
coupled into the oscillator circuit may result in the clock
running fast. Figure 6 shows a typical PC board layout
for isolating the crystal and oscillator from noise. Refer to
Application Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Dallas
Real-Time Clocks for detailed information
RTC Address Map
Table 3 shows the address map for the DS1339A
registers. During a multibyte access, when the address
pointer reaches the end of the register space (10h),
it wraps around to location 00h. On an I2C START 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.
Time and Date Operation
The time and date information is obtained by reading
the appropriate register bytes. Table 3 shows the RTC
registers. The time and date are set or initialized by
writing the appropriate register bytes. The contents of
the time and date registers are in the BCD format. The
DS1339A 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
20-hour bit (20 to 23 hours). All hours values, including
the alarms, must be re-entered whenever the 12/24-hour
mode bit is changed.
The Century bit (bit 7 of the MONTH register) is toggled
when the YEAR register overflows from 99 to 00. If the
Century bit is logic 0, the year will be designated as a
Leap Year and February will contain 29 days.
If the Century bit is logic 1, the year will not be designated
as a Leap Year and February will contain 28 days.
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 a START or when the address
pointer rolls over to 00h. The countdown chain is reset
whenever the seconds register is written. Write transfers
occurs 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 one second. If enabled, the 1Hz square-wave
output transitions high 500ms after the seconds data
transfer, provided the oscillator is already running.

The DY/DT bits (bit 6 of the alarm day/date registers)
control whether the alarm value stored in bits 0 to 5 of
that register reflects the day of the week or the date of
the month. If DY/DT is written to a logic 0, the alarm is
the result of a match with date of the month. If DY/DT is
written to a logic 1, the alarm is the result of a match with
day of the week.
The DS1339A contains two time of day/date alarms.
Alarm 1 can be set by writing to registers 07h to 0Ah.
Alarm 2 can be set by writing to registers 0Bh to 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
each of the time of day/date alarm registers are mask
bits (Table 4). When all the mask bits for each alarm
are logic 0, an alarm only occurs when the values in the
timekeeping registers 00h to 06h match the 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 4 shows the possible settings.
Configurations not listed in the table result in illogical
operation.
The device checks for an alarm match once per second.
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. If the BBSQI bit is set to 1, the INT
output activates while the part is being powered by
VBACKUP. The alarm output remains active until the alarm
flag is cleared by the user.

Bit 7: Enable Oscillator (EOSC). When the EOSC bit is 0, the oscillator is enabled. When this bit is a 1, the oscillator
is disabled. This bit is cleared (0) when power is first applied.
Bit 5: Battery-Backed Square-Wave Interrupt (BBSQI). When set to logic 1, this bit enables the SQW/INT output
functionality while the part is powered by VBACKUP. When set to logic 0, this bit disables the SQW/INT output while the
part is powered by VBACKUP.
Bits 4 and 3: Rate Select (RS2 and RS1). These bits control the frequency of the SQW/INT output when the squarewave has been enabled (INTCN=0). Table 5 lists the square-wave frequencies that can be selected with the RS bits.
Bit 2: Interrupt Control (INTCN). This bit controls the relationship between the two alarms and the interrupt output pin.
When the INTCN bit is set to logic 1, a match between the timekeeping registers and the Alarm 1 or Alarm 2 registers
activate the SQW/INT pin (provided that the alarm is enabled). When the INTCN bit is set to logic 0, a square wave is
output on the SQW/INT pin. This bit is set to logic 0 when power is first applied.
Bit 1: Alarm 2 Interrupt Enable (A2IE). When set to a 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 an interrupt signal. The A1IE bit is disabled (logic 0) when power is first applied.

Bit 7: 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 stopped condition.
The following are examples of conditions that may cause the OSF bit to be set:
The first time power is applied.
The voltage present on VCC and VBAT are insufficient to support oscillation.
The EOSC bit is set to 1, disabling the oscillator.
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 1: Alarm 2 Flag (A2F). A logic 1 in the Alarm 2 Flag bit indicates that the time matched the Alarm 2 registers. If the
A2IE bit is a logic 1 and the INTCN bit is set to a logic 1, the SQW/INT pin is also asserted. 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.
Bit 0: Alarm 1 Flag (A1F). A logic 1 in the Alarm 1 Flag bit indicates that the time matched the Alarm 1 registers. If the
A1IE bit is a logic 1 and the INTCN bit is set to a logic 1, the SQW/INT pin is also asserted. 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.

Trickle Charger (10h)
The simplified schematic in Figure 3 shows the basic components of the trickle charger. The trickle-charge select bits
(TCS[3:0]) control the selection of the trickle charger. To prevent accidental enabling, only a pattern on 1010 enables the
trickle charger. All other patterns disable the trickle charger. The trickle charger is disabled when power is first applied.
The diode-select (DS[1:0]) bits select whether or not a diode is connected between VCC and VBACKUP. The ROUT[1:0]
bits select the value of the resistor connected between VCC and VBACKUP. Table 6 shows the register settings.

Warning: The ROUT value of 200I must not be selected whenever VCC is greater than 3.63V.
The user determines diode and resistor selection according to the maximum current desired for battery or super cap
charging. The maximum charging current can be calculated as illustrated in the following example. Assume that a
3.3V system power supply is applied to VCC and a super cap is connected to VBACKUP. Also assume that the trickle
charger has been enabled with a diode and resistor R2 between VCC and VBACKUP. The maximum current IMAX would
therefore be calculated as follows:
IMAX = (3.3V - diode drop) / R2 ≈ (3.3V - 0.7V) / 2kI ≈ 1.3mA
As the super cap or battery charges, the voltage drop between VCC and VBACKUP decreases and therefore the charge
current decreases.

DS1339A
Low-Current, I2C, Serial Real-Time Clock
I2C Serial Port Operation
identically to a normal START condition. See Figure 1
for applicable timing.
I2C Slave Address
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 (see
Figure 1). Data is shifted into the device during the
rising edge of the SCL.
The DS1339A’s slave address byte is D0h. The first byte
sent to the device includes the device identifier and the
R/W bit (Figure 4). The device address sent by the I2C
master must match the address assigned to the device.

Figure 4. Slave Address Byte
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
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
Bit Read: At the end a write operation, the master
must release the SDA bus line for the proper amount of
setup time (see Figure 1) before the next rising edge
of SCL during a bit read. 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 bytes.
The master must NACK the last byte read to terminate
communication so the slave returns control of SDA to
the master.
15
DS1339A
Low-Current, I2C, Serial Real-Time Clock
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
whatever’s 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 DS1339A assumes the master
is communicating with another I2C device and ignores
the communication until the next START condition is
sent.
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 impractical, the following method should
be used to perform reads from a specified memory
location.
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.
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
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

DS1339A
Low-Current, I2C, Serial Real-Time Clock
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 5 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.
Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
To achieve the best results when using the DS1339A,
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.
CRYSTAL
Using an Open-Drain Output
The SQW/INT output is open-drain and therefore requires
an external pullup resistor to realize a logic-high output
level.
SDA and SCL Pullup Resistors
SDA is an open-drain output and requires an external
pullup resistor to realize a logic-high output level.
Because the DS1339A 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 DS1339A contains Maxim’s redundant batterycharge 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. Do not use external components to compensate for improper crystal selection.
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.
