Description
The FM3127x is a family of integrated devices that
includes the most commonly needed functions for
processor-based systems. Major features include
nonvolatile memory available in various sizes, realtime clock, low-VDD reset, watchdog timer,
nonvolatile event counter, lockable 64-bit serial
number area, and general purpose comparator that
can be used for an early power-fail (NMI) interrupt or
other purpose. The family operates from 4.0 to 5.5V.
Each FM3127x provides nonvolatile RAM available
in sizes including 64Kb and 256Kb versions. Fast
write speed and unlimited endurance allow the
memory to serve as extra RAM or conventional
nonvolatile storage. This memory is truly nonvolatile
rather than battery backed.
The processor companion includes commonly needed
CPU support functions. Supervisory functions
include a reset output signal controlled by either a
low VDD condition or a watchdog timeout. /RST
goes active when VDD drops below a programmable
threshold and remains active for 100 ms after VDD
rises above the trip point. A programmable watchdog
timer runs from 100 ms to 3 seconds. The watchdog
timer is optional, but if enabled it will assert the reset
signal for 100 ms if not restarted by the host before
the timeout. A flag-bit indicates the source of the
reset.
The real-time clock (RTC) provides time and date
information in BCD format. It can be permanently
powered from external backup voltage source, either
a battery or a capacitor. The timekeeper uses a
common external 32.768 kHz crystal and provides a
calibration mode that allows software adjustment of
timekeeping accuracy.
This product conforms to specifications per the terms of the Ramtron standard warranty. The product has completed Ramtron’s
internal qualification testing and has reached production status.

A general-purpose comparator compares an external
input pin to the onboard 1.2V reference. This is
useful for generating a power-fail interrupt (NMI) but
can be used for any purpose. The family also includes
a programmable 64-bit serial number that can be
locked making it unalterable. Additionally it offers a
dual battery-backed event counter that tracks the
number of rising or falling edges detected on
dedicated input pins.

Pin Description
Device select inputs are used to address multiple memories on a serial bus. To select the
device the address value on the two pins must match the corresponding bits contained in
the device address. The device select pins are pulled down internally.
Event Counter Inputs: These battery-backed inputs increment counters when an edge is
detected on the corresponding CNT pin. The polarity is programmable. These pins
should not be left floating. Tie to ground if these pins are not used.
In calibration mode, this pin supplies a 512 Hz square-wave output for clock calibration.
In normal operation, this is the early power-fail output.
32.768 kHz crystal connection. When using an external oscillator, apply the clock to X1
and a DC mid-level to X2 (see Crystal Oscillator section for suggestions).
Active low reset output with weak pull-up. Also input for manual reset.
Serial Data & Address: This is a bi-directional line for the two-wire interface. It is opendrain and is intended to be wire-OR‟d with other devices on the two-wire bus. The input
buffer incorporates a Schmitt trigger for noise immunity and the output driver includes
slope control for falling edges. A pull-up resistor is required.
Serial Clock: The serial clock line for the two-wire interface. Data is clocked out of the
part on the falling edge, and in on the rising edge. The SCL input also incorporates a
Schmitt trigger input for noise immunity.
Early Power-fail Input: Typically connected to an unregulated power supply to detect an
early power failure. This pin should not be left floating.
Backup supply voltage: A 3V battery or a large value capacitor. If no backup supply is
used, this pin should be tied to ground and the VBC bit should be cleared. The trickle
charger is UL recognized and ensures no excessive current when using a lithium battery.

FM31278/276 – 5V I2C Companion
Overview
The FM3127x family combines a serial nonvolatile
RAM with a real-time clock (RTC) and a processor
companion. The companion is a highly integrated
peripheral including a processor supervisor, a
comparator used for early power-fail warning,
nonvolatile event counters, and a 64-bit serial
number.
The
FM3127x
integrates
these
complementary but distinct functions that share a
common interface in a single package. Although
monolithic, the product is organized as two logical
devices,
the
F-RAM
memory
and
the
RTC/companion. From the system perspective they
appear to be two separate devices with unique IDs on
the serial bus.
The memory is organized as a stand-alone 2-wire
nonvolatile memory with a standard device ID value.
The real-time clock and supervisor functions are
accessed with a separate 2-wire device ID. This
allows clock/calendar data to be read while
maintaining the most recently used memory address.
The clock and supervisor functions are controlled by
25 special function registers. The RTC and event
counter circuits are maintained by the power source
on the VBAK pin, allowing them to operate from
battery or backup capacitor power when VDD drops
below an internally set threshold. Each functional
block is described below.
Memory Operation
The FM3127x is a family of products available in
different memory sizes including 64Kb and 256Kb.
The family is software compatible, all versions use
consistent two-byte addressing for the memory
device. This makes the lowest density device
different from its stand-alone memory counterparts
but makes them compatible within the entire family.
Memory is organized in bytes, for example the 64Kb
memory is 8192 x 8 and the 256Kb memory is 32768
x 8. The memory is based on F-RAM technology.
Therefore it can be treated as RAM and is read or
written at the speed of the two-wire bus with no
delays for write operations. It also offers effectively
unlimited write endurance unlike other nonvolatile
memory technologies. The 2-wire interface protocol
is described further on page 13.
The memory array can be write-protected by
software. Two bits in the processor companion area
(WP0, WP1 in register 0Bh) control the protection
setting as shown in the following table. Based on the
setting, the protected addresses cannot be written and
the 2-wire interface will not acknowledge any data to
protected addresses. The special function registers
containing these bits are described in detail below.

Processor Companion
In addition to nonvolatile RAM, the FM3127x family
incorporates a highly integrated processor
companion. It includes a low voltage reset, a
programmable watchdog timer, battery-backed event
counters, a comparator for early power-fail detection
or other purposes, and a 64-bit serial number.
Processor Supervisor
Supervisors provide a host processor two basic
functions: detection of power supply fault conditions
and a watchdog timer to escape a software lockup
condition. All FM3127x devices have a reset pin
(/RST) to drive the processor reset input during
power faults (and power-up) and software lockups. It
is an open drain output with a weak internal pull-up
to VDD. This allows other reset sources to be wireOR‟d to the /RST pin. When VDD is above the
programmed trip point, /RST output is pulled weakly
to VDD. If VDD drops below the reset trip point
voltage level (VTP) the /RST pin will be driven low. It
will remain low until VDD falls too low for circuit
operation which is the VRST level. When VDD rises
again above VTP, /RST will continue to drive low for
at least 100 ms (tRPU) to ensure a robust system reset
at a reliable VDD level. After tRPU has been met, the
/RST pin will return to the weak high state. While
/RST is asserted, serial bus activity is locked out even
if a transaction occurred as VDD dropped below VTP.
A memory operation started while VDD is above VTP
will be completed internally.
Figure 2 below illustrates the reset operation in
response to the VDD voltage.

The bit VTP controls the trip point of the low voltage

that the bit 1 location is a “don‟t care”.

The watchdog timer can also be used to assert the
reset signal (/RST). The watchdog is a free running
programmable timer. The period can be software
programmed from 100 ms to 3 seconds in 100 ms
increments via a 5-bit nonvolatile register. All
programmed settings are minimum values and vary
with temperature according to the operating
specifications. The watchdog has two additional
controls associated with its operation, a watchdog
enable bit (WDE) and timer restart bits (WR). Both
the enable bit must be set and the watchdog must
timeout in order to drive /RST active. If a reset event
occurs, the timer will automatically restart on the
rising edge of the reset pulse. If WDE=0, the
watchdog timer runs but a watchdog fault will not
cause /RST to be asserted low. The WTR flag will be
set, indicating a watchdog fault. This setting is useful
during software development and the developer does
not want /RST to drive. Note that setting the
maximum timeout setting (11111b) disables the
counter to save power. The second control is a nibble
that restarts the timer preventing a reset. The timer
should be restarted after changing the timeout value.
The watchdog timeout value is located in register
0Ah, bits 4-0, and the watchdog enable is bit 7. The
watchdog is restarted by writing the pattern 1010b to
the lower nibble of register 09h. Writing this pattern
will also cause the timer to load new timeout values.
Writing other patterns to this address will not affect
its operation. Note the watchdog timer is freerunning. Prior to enabling it, users should restart the
timer as described above. This assures that the full
timeout period will be set immediately after enabling.
The watchdog is disabled when VDD is below VTP.
The following table summarizes the watchdog bits. A
block diagram follows.
Manual Reset
The /RST pin is bi-directional and allows the
FM3127x to filter and de-bounce a manual reset
switch. The /RST input detects an external low
condition and responds by driving the /RST signal
low for 100 ms.

Figure 4. Manual Reset
Note that an internal weak pull-up on /RST
eliminates the need for additional external
components.
Reset Flags
In case of a reset condition, a flag will be set to
indicate the source of the reset. A low VDD reset is
indicated by the POR flag, register 09h bit 6. A
watchdog reset is indicated by the WTR flag, register
09h bit 7. Note that the flags are internally set in
response to reset sources, but they must be cleared by
the user. When the register is read, it is possible that
both flags are set if both have occurred since the user
last cleared them.
Early Power Fail Comparator
An early power fail warning can be provided to the
processor well before VDD drops out of spec. The
comparator is used to create a power fail interrupt
(NMI). This can be accomplished by connecting the
PFI pin to the unregulated power supply via a resistor
divider. An application circuit is shown below.

The voltage on the PFI input pin is compared to an
onboard 1.2V reference. When the PFI input voltage
Page 5 of 26
FM31278/276 – 5V I2C Companion
drops below this threshold, the comparator will drive
the CAL/PFO pin to a low state. The comparator has
100 mV (max) of hysteresis to reduce noise
sensitivity, only for a rising PFI signal. For a falling
PFI edge, there is no hysteresis.
The comparator is a general purpose device and its
application is not limited to the NMI function.
The comparator is not integrated into the special
function registers except as it shares its output pin
with the CAL output. When the RTC calibration
mode is invoked by setting the CAL bit (register 00h,
bit 2), the CAL/PFO output pin will be driven with a
512 Hz square wave and the comparator will be
ignored. Since most users only invoke the calibration
mode during production, this should have no impact
on system operations using the comparator.
Note: The maximum voltage on the comparator input PFI
is limited to 3.75V under normal operating conditions.
Event Counter
The FM3127x offers the user two battery-backed
event counters. Input pins CNT1 and CNT2 are
programmable edge detectors. Each clocks a 16-bit
counter. When an edge occurs, the counters will
increment their respective registers. Counter 1 is
located in registers 0Dh and 0Eh, Counter 2 is
located in registers 0Fh and 10h. These register
values can be read anytime VDD is above VTP, and
they will be incremented as long as a valid VBAK
power source is provided. To read, set the RC bit
register 0Ch bit 3 to 1. This takes a snapshot of all
four counter bytes allowing a stable value even if a
count occurs during the read. The registers can be
written by software allowing the counters to be
cleared or initialized by the system. Counts are
blocked during a write operation. The two counters
can be cascaded to create a single 32-bit counter by
setting the CC control bit (register 0Ch). When
cascaded, the CNT1 input will cause the counter to
increment. CNT2 is not used in this mode.

Counter 2 Polarity is C2P, bit 1; the Cascade Control

Document Number: 001-86393 Rev. *B
The polarity bits must be set prior to setting the
counter value(s). If a polarity bit is changed, the
counter may inadvertently increment. If the counter
pins are not being used, tie them to ground.
Serial Number
A memory location to write a 64-bit serial number is
provided. It is a writeable nonvolatile memory block
that can be locked by the user once the serial number
is set. The 8 bytes of data and the lock bit are all
accessed via the device ID for the processor
companion. Therefore the serial number area is
separate and distinct from the memory array. The
serial number registers can be written an unlimited
number of times, so these locations are general
purpose memory. However once the lock bit is set the
values cannot be altered and the lock cannot be
removed. Once locked the serial number registers can
still be read by the system.
The serial number is located in registers 11h to 18h.
The lock bit is SNL, register 0Bh bit 7. Setting the
SNL bit to a 1 disables writes to the serial number
registers, and the SNL bit cannot be cleared.
Real-Time Clock Operation
The real-time clock (RTC) is a timekeeping device
that can be battery or capacitor backed for
permanently-powered operation. It offers a software
calibration feature that allows high accuracy.
The RTC consists of an oscillator, clock divider, and
a register system for user access. It divides down the
32.768 kHz time-base and provides a minimum
resolution of seconds (1Hz). Static registers provide
the user with read/write access to the time values. It
includes registers for seconds, minutes, hours, dayof-the-week, date, months, and years. A block
diagram (Figure 7) illustrates the RTC function.
The user registers are synchronized with the
timekeeper core using R and W bits in register 00h
described below. Changing the R bit from 0 to 1
transfers timekeeping information from the core into
holding registers that can be read by the user. If a
timekeeper update is pending when R is set, then the
core will be updated prior to loading the user
registers. The registers are frozen and will not be
updated again until the R bit is cleared to 0. R is used
for reading the time.
Setting the W bit to 1 locks the user registers.
Clearing it to 0 causes the values in the user registers
to be loaded into the timekeeper core. W is used for
writing new time values. Users should be certain not
to load invalid values, such as FFh, to the
Page 6 of 26
FM31278/276 – 5V I2C Companion
timekeeping registers. Updates to the timekeeping
core occur continuously except when locked.
Backup Power
The real-time clock/calendar is intended to be
permanently powered. When the primary system
power fails, the voltage on the VDD pin will drop.
When VDD is less 2.5V the RTC (and event counters)
will switch to the backup power supply on V BAK. The
clock operates at extremely low current in order to
maximize battery or capacitor life. However, one of
the advantages of combining a clock function with
the F-RAM memory is that data is not lost regardless
of the backup power source.
Figure 8. VBAK (min.) vs. Temperature
Trickle Charger
The IBAK current varies with temperature and voltage
(see DC parametric table). The following graph
shows IBAK as a function of VBAK. These curves are
useful for calculating backup time when a capacitor
is used as the VBAK source.
To facilitate capacitor backup, the VBAK pin can
optionally provide a trickle charge current. When the
VBC bit, register 0Bh bit 2, is set to „1‟, the VBAK pin
will source approximately 80 µA until VBAK reaches
3.75V. In 5V systems, this charges the capacitor to
VDD without an external diode and resistor charger
and also prevents the user from exceeding the V BAK
maximum voltage specification. There is a Fast
Charge mode which is enabled by the FC bit (register
0Bh, bit 5). In this mode the trickle charger current is
set to approximately 1 mA, allowing a large backup
capacitor to charge more quickly.
In the case where no backup source is used, the VBAK
pin should be tied to VSS. VBAK should not be tied to
5V since the VBAK (max) specification will be
exceeded. Be sure to turn off the trickle charger
(VBC=0), otherwise charger current will be shunted
to ground from VDD.
Figure 7. IBAK vs. VBAK Voltage
The minimum VBAK voltage varies linearly with
temperature. The user can expect the minimum VBAK
voltage to be 1.23V at +85°C and 1.90V at -40°C.
The tested limit is 1.55V at +25°C. The minimum
VBAK voltage has been characterized at -40°C and
+85°C but is not 100% tested.
 Note: systems using lithium batteries should clear
the VBC bit to 0 to prevent battery charging. The
VBAK circuitry includes an internal 1 K series
resistor as a safety element. The trickle charger is UL
Recognized.

Calibration
When the CAL bit in a register 00h is set to 1, the
clock enters calibration mode. In calibration mode,
the CAL/PFO output pin is dedicated to the
calibration function and the power fail output is
temporarily unavailable. Calibration operates by
applying a digital correction to the counter based on
the frequency error. In this mode, the CAL/PFO pin
is driven with a 512 Hz (nominal) square wave. Any
measured deviation from 512 Hz translates into a
timekeeping error. The user converts the measured
error in ppm and writes the appropriate correction
value to the calibration register. The correction
factors are listed in the table below. Positive ppm
errors require a negative adjustment that removes
pulses. Negative ppm errors require a positive
correction that adds pulses. Positive ppm adjustments
have the CALS (sign) bit set to 1, where as negative
ppm adjustments have CALS = 0. After calibration,
the clock will have a maximum error of 2.17 ppm
or
0.09 minutes per month at the calibrated
temperature.
The calibration setting is stored in F-RAM so is not
lost should the backup source fail. It is accessed with
bits CAL.4-0 in register 01h. This value only can be
written when the CAL bit is set to a 1. To exit the
calibration mode, the user must clear the CAL bit to a
0. When the CAL bit is 0, the CAL/PFO pin will
revert to the power fail output function.
Crystal Oscillator
The crystal oscillator is designed to use a 12.5pF
crystal without the need for external components,
such as loading capacitors. The FM3127x device has
built-in loading capacitors that match the crystal.
If a 32.768kHz crystal is not used, an external
oscillator may be connected to the FM3127x. Apply
the oscillator to the X1 pin. Its high and low voltage
levels can be driven rail-to-rail or amplitudes as low
as approximately 500mV p-p. To ensure proper
operation, a DC bias must be applied to the X2 pin.
It should be centered between the high and low levels
on the X1 pin. This can be accomplished with a
voltage divider.
In the example, R1 and R2 are chosen such that the
X2 voltage is centered around the X1 oscillator drive
levels. If you wish to avoid the DC current, you may
choose to drive X1 with an external clock and X2
with an inverted clock using a CMOS inverter.

Figure 10. External Oscillator
Layout Requirements
The X1 and X2 crystal pins employ very high
impedance circuits and the oscillator connected to
these pins can be upset by noise or extra loading. To
reduce RTC clock errors from signal switching noise,
a guard ring must be placed around these pads and
the guard ring grounded. SDA and SCL traces should
be routed away from the X1/X2 pads. The X1 and X2
trace lengths should be less than 5 mm. The use of a
ground plane on the backside or inner board layer is
preferred. See layout example. Red is the top layer,
green is the bottom layer.

Read Counter. Setting this bit to 1 takes a snapshot of the four counters bytes allowing the system to read the
values without missing count events. The RC bit will be automatically cleared.
Counter Cascade. When CC=0, the event counters operate independently according to the edge programmed by
C1P and C2P respectively. When CC=1, the counters are cascaded to create one 32-bit counter. The registers of
Counter 2 represent the most significant 16-bits of the counter and CNT1 is the controlling input. Bit C2P is
“don‟t care” when CC=1. Battery-backed, read/write.
CNT2 detects falling edges when C2P = 0, rising edges when C2P = 1. C2P is “don‟t care” when CC=1. The value
of Event Counter 2 may inadvertently increment if C2P is changed. Battery-backed, read/write.
CNT1 detects falling edges when C1P = 0, rising edges when C1P = 1. The value of Event Counter 1 may

Watchdog Enable. When WDE=1, a watchdog timer fault will cause the /RST signal to go active. When WDE = 0
the timer runs but has no effect on /RST, however the WTR flag will be set when a fault occurs. Note as the timer
is free-running, users should restart the timer using WR3-0 prior to setting WDE=1. This assures a full watchdog
timeout interval occurs. Nonvolatile, read/write.
Watchdog Timeout. Indicates the minimum watchdog timeout interval with 100 ms resolution. New watchdog
timeouts are loaded when the timer is restarted by writing the 1010b pattern to WR3-0. Nonvolatile, read/write.

Watchdog Timer Reset Flag: When a watchdog timer fault occurs, the WTR bit will be set to 1. It must be cleared
by the user. Note that both WTR and POR could be set if both reset sources have occurred since the flags were
cleared by the user. Battery-backed. Read/Write (internally set, user can clear bit).
Power-on Reset Flag: When the /RST pin is activated by VDD < VTP, the POR bit will be set to 1. It must be
cleared by the user. Note that both WTR and POR could be set if both reset sources have occurred since the flags
were cleared by the user. Battery-backed. Read/Write (internally set, user can clear bit).
Low Backup Flag: On power up, if the VBAK source is below the minimum voltage to operate the RTC and event
counters, this bit will be set to 1. The user should clear it to 0 when initializing the system. Battery-backed.
Read/Write (internally set, user can clear bit).
Watchdog Restart: Writing a pattern 1010b to WR3-0 restarts the watchdog timer. The upper nibble contents do
not affect this operation. Writing any pattern other than 1010b to WR3-0 has no effect on the timer. This allows
users to clear the WTR, POR, and LB flags without affecting the watchdog timer. Battery-backed, Write-only.

FM31278/276 – 5V I2C Companion
By convention, any device that is sending data onto
the bus is the transmitter while the target device for
this data is the receiver. The device that is
controlling the bus is the master. The master is
responsible for generating the clock signal for all
operations. Any device on the bus that is being
controlled is a slave. The FM3127x is always a slave
device.
Two-wire Interface
The FM3127x employs an industry standard twowire bus that is familiar to many users. This product
is unique since it incorporates two logical devices in
one chip. Each logical device can be accessed
individually. Although monolithic, it appears to the
system software to be two separate products. One is
a memory device. It has a Slave Address (Slave ID =
1010b) that operates the same as a stand-alone
memory device. The second device is a real-time
clock and processor companion which have a unique
Slave Address (Slave ID = 1101b).
The bus protocol is controlled by transition states in
the SDA and SCL signals. There are four conditions:
Start, Stop, Data bit, and Acknowledge. The figure
below illustrates the signal conditions that specify
the four states. Detailed timing diagrams are shown
in the Electrical Specifications section.

Figure 11. Data Transfer Protocol
Start Condition
A Start condition is indicated when the bus master
drives SDA from high to low while the SCL signal is
high. All read and write transactions begin with a
Start condition. An operation in progress can be
aborted by asserting a Start condition at any time.
Aborting an operation using the Start condition will
ready the FM3127x for a new operation.
If the power supply drops below the specified VTP
during operation, any 2-wire transaction in progress
will be aborted and the system must issue a Start
condition prior to performing another operation.
Stop Condition
A Stop condition is indicated when the bus master
drives SDA from low to high while the SCL signal is
high. All operations must end with a Stop condition.
If an operation is pending when a stop is asserted,
the operation will be aborted. The master must have
control of SDA (not a memory read) in order to
assert a Stop condition.
Data/Address Transfer
All data transfers (including addresses) take place
while the SCL signal is high. Except under the two
conditions described above, the SDA signal should
not change while SCL is high.
Document Number: 001-86393 Rev. *B
Acknowledge
The Acknowledge (ACK) takes place after the 8th
data bit has been transferred in any transaction.
During this state the transmitter must release the
SDA bus to allow the receiver to drive it. The
receiver drives the SDA signal low to acknowledge
receipt of the byte. If the receiver does not drive
SDA low, the condition is a No-Acknowledge
(NACK) and the operation is aborted.
The receiver might NACK for two distinct reasons.
First is that a byte transfer fails. In this case, the
NACK ends the current operation so that the part can
be addressed again. This allows the last byte to be
recovered in the event of a communication error.
Second and most common, the receiver does not
send an ACK to deliberately terminate an operation.
For example, during a read operation, the FM3127x
will continue to place data onto the bus as long as the
receiver sends ACKs (and clocks). When a read
operation is complete and no more data is needed,
the receiver must NACK the last byte. If the receiver
ACKs the last byte, this will cause the FM3127x to
attempt to drive the bus on the next clock while the
master is sending a new command such as a Stop.
Page 15 of 26
FM31278/276 – 5V I2C Companion
Slave Address
The first byte that the FM3127x expects after a Start
condition is the slave address. As shown in figures
below, the slave address contains the Slave ID,
Device Select address, and a bit that specifies if the
transaction is a read or a write.
the last access. The current address will be held as
long as VDD > VTP or until a new value is written.
Accesses to the clock do not affect the current
memory address. Reads always use the current
address. A random read address can be loaded by
beginning a write operation as explained below.
The FM3127x has two Slave Addresses (Slave IDs)
associated with two logical devices. To access the
memory device, bits 7-4 should be set to 1010b. The
other logical device within the FM3127x is the realtime clock and companion. To access this device,
bits 7-4 of the slave address should be set to 1101b.
A bus transaction with this slave address will not
affect the memory in any way. The figures below
illustrate the two Slave Addresses.
After transmission of each data byte, just prior to the
Acknowledge, the FM3127x increments the internal
address. This allows the next sequential byte to be
accessed with no additional addressing externally.
After the last address is reached, the address latch
will roll over to 0000h. There is no limit to the
number of bytes that can be accessed with a single
read or write operation.
The Device Select bits allow multiple devices of the
same type to reside on the 2-wire bus. The device
select bits (bits 2-1) select one of four parts on a twowire bus. They must match the corresponding value
on the external address pins in order to select the
device. Bit 0 is the read/write bit. A “1” indicates a
read operation, and a “0” indicates a write operation.

Figure 13. Slave Address – Companion
Addressing Overview – Memory
After the FM3127x acknowledges the Slave
Address, the master can place the memory address
on the bus for a write operation. The address requires
two bytes. This is true for all members of the family.
The first is the MSB (upper byte). For a given
density unused address bits are don‟t cares, but
should be set to 0 to maintain upward compatibility.
Following the MSB is the LSB (lower byte) which
contains the remaining eight address bits. The
address is latched internally. Each access causes the
latched address to be incremented automatically. The
current address is the value that is held in the latch,
either a newly written value or the address following
Document Number: 001-86393 Rev. *B
Addressing Overview – RTC & Companion
The RTC and Processor Companion operate in a
similar manner to the memory, except that it uses
only one byte of address. Addresses 00h to 18h
correspond to special function registers. Attempting
to load addresses above 18h is an illegal condition;
the FM3127x will return a NACK and abort the 2wire transaction.
Data Transfer
After the address information has been transmitted,
data transfer between the bus master and the
FM3127x begins. For a read, the FM3127x will
place 8 data bits on the bus then wait for an ACK
from the master. If the ACK occurs, the FM3127x
will transfer the next byte. If the ACK is not sent, the
FM3127x will end the read operation. For a write
operation, the FM3127x will accept 8 data bits from
the master then send an Acknowledge. All data
transfer occurs MSB (most significant bit) first.
Memory Write Operation
All memory writes begin with a Slave Address, then
a memory address. The bus master indicates a write
operation by setting the slave address LSB to a 0.
After addressing, the bus master sends each byte of
data to the memory and the memory generates an
Acknowledge condition. Any number of sequential
bytes may be written. If the end of the address range
is reached internally, the address counter will wrap
to 0000h. Internally, the actual memory write occurs
after the 8th data bit is transferred. It will be complete
before the Acknowledge is sent. Therefore, if the
user desires to abort a write without altering the
memory contents, this should be done using a Start
or Stop condition prior to the 8th data bit. The figures
below illustrate a single- and multiple-writes to
memory.

Figure 15. Multiple Byte Memory Write
Memory Read Operation
There are two types of memory read operations. They
are current address read and selective address read. In
a current address read, the FM3127x uses the internal
address latch to supply the address. In a selective
read, the user performs a procedure to first set the
address to a specific value.
Current Address & Sequential Read
As mentioned above the FM3127x uses an internal
latch to supply the address for a read operation. A
current address read uses the existing value in the
address latch as a starting place for the read
operation. The system reads from the address
immediately following that of the last operation.
Each time the bus master acknowledges a byte,
this indicates that the FM3127x should read out
the next sequential byte.
There are four ways to terminate a read operation.
Failing to properly terminate the read will most likely
create a bus contention as the FM3127x attempts to
read out additional data onto the bus. The four valid
methods follow.
1.
2.
3.
To perform a current address read, the bus master
supplies a slave address with the LSB set to 1. This
indicates that a read operation is requested. After
receiving the complete device address, the FM3127x
will begin shifting data out from the current address
on the next clock. The current address is the value
held in the internal address latch.
Beginning with the current address, the bus master
can read any number of bytes. Thus, a sequential read
is simply a current address read with multiple byte
transfers. After each byte the internal address counter
will be incremented.
Document Number: 001-86393 Rev. *B
4.
The bus master issues a NACK in the 9th clock
cycle and a Stop in the 10th clock cycle. This is
illustrated in the diagrams below and is
preferred.
The bus master issues a NACK in the 9th clock
cycle and a Start in the 10th.
The bus master issues a Stop in the 9th clock
cycle.
The bus master issues a Start in the 9th clock
cycle.
If the internal address reaches the top of memory, it
will wrap around to 0000h on the next read cycle.
The figures below show the proper operation for
current address reads.
Selective (Random) Read
There is a simple technique that allows a user to
select a random address location as the starting point
for a read operation. This involves using the first
three bytes of a write operation to set the internal
address followed by subsequent read operations.
Page 17 of 26
FM31278/276 – 5V I2C Companion
To perform a selective read, the bus master sends out
the slave address with the LSB set to 0. This specifies
a write operation. According to the write protocol,
the bus master then sends the address bytes that are
loaded into the internal address latch. After the
FM3127x acknowledges the address, the bus master
issues a Start condition. This simultaneously aborts
the write operation and allows the read command to
be issued with the slave address LSB set to a 1. The
operation is now a read from the current address.
Read operations are illustrated below.
master supplies a Slave Address with the LSB set to
1. This indicates that a read operation is requested.
After receiving the complete Slave Address, the
FM3127x will begin shifting data out from the
current register address on the next clock. Autoincrement operates for the special function registers
as with the memory address. A current address read
for the registers look exactly like the memory except
that the device ID is different.
The FM3127x contains two separate address
registers, one for the memory address and the other
for the register address. This allows the contents of
one address register to be modified without affecting
the current address of the other register. For example,
this would allow an interrupted read to the memory
while still providing fast access to an RTC register. A
subsequent memory read will then continue from the
memory address where it previously left off, without
requiring the load of a new memory address.
However, a write sequence always requires an
address to be supplied.
RTC/Companion Write Operation
All RTC and Companion writes operate in a similar
manner to memory writes. The distinction is that a
different device ID is used and only one byte address
is needed instead of two. Figure 16 illustrates a single
byte write to this device.
RTC/Companion Read Operation
As with writes, a read operation begins with the
Slave Address. To perform a register read, the bus
