MCP795W1X/MCP795W2X
Description
The
MCP795WX1
and
MCP795WX2
are
pre-programmed with EUI-48 and EUI-64 addresses,
respectively. Custom programming is also available.
The MCP795WXX Real-Time Clock/Calendar (RTCC)
tracks time using internal counters for hours, minutes,
seconds, hundredth of seconds, days, months, years
and day of week. Alarms can be configured on all
counters up to and including months. For usage and
configuration, the MCP795WXX supports SPI
communications up to 5 MHz.
Two event detect modules are included on the
MCP795WXX. The high-speed event detect module
will generate an interrupt after a programmable
number of pulses have been detected. The low-speed
event detect module can be used to debounce
mechanical switches and includes a selectable
debounce period.
The MCP795WXX is designed to operate using a
32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal with external crystal
load capacitors. On-chip digital trimming can be used
to adjust for frequency variance caused by crystal
tolerance and temperature.
The MCP795WXX also features an integrated
Watchdog Timer peripheral. This allows applications to
improve system robustness by moving this
functionality outside of the microcontroller.
SRAM and timekeeping circuitry are powered from the
backup supply when main power is lost, allowing the
device to maintain accurate time and the SRAM
contents. The times when the device switches over to
the backup supply and when primary power returns
are both logged by the power-fail timestamp.
The MCP795WXX has versatile output options. There
is a dedicated pin for outputting a selectable frequency
square wave or for use as a general purpose output.
Additionally, the alarms can be assigned to either the
Watchdog Timer interrupt output or the event detect
interrupt output.
The MCP795WXX features 128 bits of EEPROM
which is only writable after an unlock sequence,
making it ideal for storing a unique ID or other critical
information.

Pin Function
Chip Select (CS)
A low level on this pin selects the device, whereas a
high level deselects the device. A nonvolatile memory
programming cycle which is already initiated or in
progress will be completed, regardless of the CS input
signal. When the device is deselected, SO goes into
the high-impedance state, allowing multiple parts to
share the same SPI bus. After power-up, a high-to-low
transition on CS is required prior to any sequence
being initiated.
3.2
Serial Clock (SCK)
This pin is used to synchronize the communication
between a master and the MCP795WXX. Instructions,
addresses or data present on the SI pin are latched on
the rising edge of the clock input, while data on the SO
pin is updated after the falling edge of the clock input.
3.3
Serial Input (SI)
3.5
Oscillator Input/Output (X1, X2)
These pins are used as the connections for an external
32.768 kHz quartz crystal and load capacitors. X1 is the
crystal oscillator input and X2 is the output. The
MCP795WXX is designed to allow for the use of
external load capacitors in order to provide additional
flexibility when choosing external crystals. The
MCP795WXX is optimized for crystals with a specified
load capacitance of 6-9 pF.
X1 also serves as the external clock input when the
MCP795WXX is configured to use an external oscillator.
3.6
Watchdog Output (WDO)
This is an output pin for the Watchdog Timer and,
optionally, the alarms. During normal operation, the pin
remains high. If a Watchdog Timer overflow occurs, the
pin outputs a low pulse. The width of the pulse is
user-selectable.
This pin is used to transfer data into the device. It
receives instructions, addresses and data. Data is
latched on the rising edge of the serial clock.
If an alarm output is assigned to the WDO pin, then the
pin will output a low pulse when the alarm triggers.
3.4
The WDO pin is an open-drain output and requires a
pull-up resistor to VCC (typically 10 k). This pin may
be left floating if not used.
Serial Output (SO)
This pin is used to transfer data out of the
MCP795WXX. During a read cycle, data is shifted out
on this pin after the falling edge of the serial clock.
 2011-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
DS20002280D-page 9
MCP795W1X/MCP795W2X
3.7
Interrupt Output (IRQ)
This is an output pin for the event detect modules and,
optionally, the alarms. If an event is detected by either
module, then this pin will output a low signal until the
interrupt flag has been cleared.
If an alarm output is assigned to the IRQ pin, then the
pin will output a low signal when the alarm triggers. The
pin will remain low until the alarm interrupt flag has
been cleared.
The IRQ pin is an open-drain output and requires a
pull-up resistor to VCC or VBAT (typically 10 k). This
pin may be left floating if not used.
3.8
Square Wave Clock Output
(CLKOUT)
This is the output pin for the square wave output
function. This pin may be left floating if not used.
3.9
High-Speed Event Detect Input
(EVHS)
This pin is used as the input for the high-speed event
detect module.
If the high-speed event detect module is not being
used, the EVHS pin should be connected to VCC or
VSS.
3.10
Low-Speed Event Detect Input
(EVLS)
This pin is used as the input for the low-speed event
detect module.
If the low-speed event detect module is not being used,
the EVLS pin should be connected to VCC or VSS.
3.11
Backup Supply (VBAT)
This is the input for a backup supply to maintain the
RTCC and SRAM registers during the time when VCC
is unavailable.
Power should be applied to VCC before VBAT.
If the battery backup feature is not being used, the
VBAT pin should be connected to VSS.

SPI BUS OPERATION
The MCP795WXX is designed to interface directly with
the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) port of many of
today’s popular microcontroller families, including
Microchip’s PIC® microcontrollers. It may also interface
with microcontrollers that do not have a built-in SPI port
by using discrete I/O lines programmed properly in
software to match the SPI protocol.
TABLE 4-1:
The MCP795WXX contains an 8-bit instruction register.
The device is accessed via the SI pin, with data being
clocked in on the rising edge of SCK. The CS pin must
be low for the entire operation.
Table 4-1 contains a list of the possible instruction
bytes and format for device operation. All instructions,
addresses, and data are transferred MSb first, LSb last.
Data (SI) is sampled on the first rising edge of SCK
after CS goes low.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The MCP795WXX is a highly-integrated Real-Time
Clock/Calendar (RTCC). Using an on-board,
low-power oscillator, the current time is maintained in
hundredths of seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, day
of week, date, month, and year. The MCP795WXX also
features 64 bytes of general purpose SRAM, either
2 Kbits (MCP795W2X) or 1 Kbit (MCP795W1X) of
EEPROM, and 16 bytes of protected EEPROM. Two
alarm modules allow interrupts to be generated at
specific times with flexible comparison options. Digital
trimming can be used to compensate for inaccuracies
inherent with crystals. Using the backup supply input
and an integrated power switch, the MCP795WXX will
automatically switch to backup power when primary
power is unavailable, allowing the current time and the
SRAM contents to be maintained. The timestamp
module captures the time when primary power is lost
and when it is restored. The Watchdog Timer module
can be used to reset an application that has become
unresponsive. The high-speed event detect module
can be used to detect pulse signals recovered from
communication links, while the low-speed event detect
module can be used to debounce switches and detect
button presses.
5.1
Memory Organization
The MCP795WXX features four different blocks of
memory: the RTCC registers, general purpose SRAM,
2 Kbit EEPROM (1 Kbit for the MCP795W1X) with
software write-protect, and protected EEPROM. The
RTCC registers and SRAM share the same address
space and are accessed through the READ and WRITE
instructions. The EEPROM region is accessed using
the EEREAD and EEWRITE instructions, and the
protected EEPROM is accessed using the IDREAD and
IDWRITE instructions. Unused locations are not
accessible. The MCP795WXX will not acknowledge if
the address is out of range, as shown in the shaded
region of the memory maps in Figure 5-1 and
Figure 5-2.
The RTCC registers are contained in addresses
0x00-0x1F. Table 5-1 shows the detailed RTCC
register map. There are 64 bytes of user-accessible
SRAM, located in the address range 0x20-0x5F. The
SRAM is a separate block from the RTCC registers. All
RTCC registers and SRAM locations are maintained
while operating from backup power.
The RTCC configuration and STATUS registers are
used to access all of the modules featured on the
MCP795WXX.

Oscillator Configurations
EQUATION 5-1:
The MCP795WXX can be operated in two different
oscillator configurations: using an external crystal or
using an external clock input.
5.2.1
By using external load capacitors, the MCP795WXX
allows for a wide selection of crystals. Suitable crystals
have a load capacitance (CL) of 6-9 pF. Crystals with a
load capacitance of 12.5 pF are not recommended.
Figure 5-3 shows the pin connections when using an
external crystal.
FIGURE 5-3:
CRYSTAL OPERATION

CX 1

Logic
Quartz
Crystal
CX 2

X2
Note 1: The ST bit must be set to enable the
crystal oscillator circuit.
2: Always verify oscillator performance over
the voltage and temperature range that is
expected for the application.
5.2.1.1
Choosing Load Capacitors
CL is the effective load capacitance as seen by the
crystal, and includes the physical load capacitors, pin
capacitance, and stray board capacitance. Equation 5-1
can be used to calculate CL.
CX1 and CX2 are the external load capacitors. They
must be chosen to match the selected crystal’s
specified load capacitance.
Note:
C X1  C X2
C L = -------------------------- + C STRAY
CX1 + CX2
EXTERNAL CRYSTAL
The crystal oscillator circuit on the MCP795WXX is
designed to operate with a standard 32.768 kHz tuning
fork crystal and matching external load capacitors.
LOAD CAPACITANCE
CALCULATION
Where:
C L = Effective load capacitance
C X1 = Capacitor value on X1 + C OSC
C X2 = Capacitor value on X2 + C OSC
C STRAY = PCB stray capacitance
5.2.1.2
Layout Considerations
The oscillator circuit should be placed on the same
side of the board as the device. Place the oscillator
circuit close to the respective oscillator pins. The load
capacitors should be placed next to the oscillator
itself, on the same side of the board.
Use a grounded copper pour around the oscillator
circuit to isolate it from surrounding circuits. The
grounded copper pour should be routed directly to VSS.
Do not run any signal traces or power traces inside the
ground pour. Also, if using a two-sided board, avoid any
traces on the other side of the board where the crystal
is placed.
Layout suggestions are shown in Figure 5-4. In-line
packages may be handled with a single-sided layout
that completely encompasses the oscillator pins. With
fine-pitch packages, it is not always possible to
completely surround the pins and components. A
suitable solution is to tie the broken guard sections to a
mirrored ground layer. In all cases, the guard trace(s)
must be returned to ground.
For additional information and design guidance on
oscillator circuits, please refer to these Microchip
Application Notes, available at the corporate website
(www.microchip.com):
• AN1365, “Recommended Usage of Microchip
Serial RTCC Devices”
• AN1519, “Recommended Crystals for Microchip
Stand-Alone Real-Time Clock Calendar Devices”
If the load capacitance is not correctly
matched to the chosen crystal’s specified
value, the crystal may give a frequency
outside of the crystal manufacturer’s
specifications.

EXTERNAL CLOCK INPUT
A 32.768 kHz external clock source can be connected
to the X1 pin (Figure 5-5). When using this
configuration, the X2 pin should be left floating.
Note:
The EXTOSC bit must be set to enable an
external clock source.

OPERATION
FIGURE 5-6:
The MCP795WXX features an oscillator failure flag,
OSCRUN, that indicates whether or not the oscillator is
running. The OSCRUN bit is automatically set after 32
oscillator cycles are detected. If no oscillator cycles are
detected for more than TOSF, then the OSCRUN bit is
automatically cleared (Figure 5-6). This can occur if the
oscillator is stopped by clearing the ST bit or due to
oscillator failure.

Timekeeping
The MCP795WXX maintains the current time and date
using an external 32.768 kHz crystal or clock source.
Separate registers are used for tracking hundredths of
seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, day of week, date,
month, and year. The MCP795WXX automatically
adjusts for months with less than 31 days and
compensates for leap years from 2001 to 2399. The
year is stored as a two-digit value.
Both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats are supported
and are selected using the 12/24 bit.
The day of week value counts from 1 to 7, increments
at midnight, and the representation is user-defined (i.e.,
the MCP795WXX does not require 1 to equal Sunday,
etc.).
All time and date values are stored in the registers as
binary-coded
decimal
(BCD)
values.
The
MCP795WXX will continue to maintain the time and
date while operating off the backup supply.
When reading from the timekeeping registers, the
registers are buffered to prevent errors due to rollover
of counters. The following events cause the buffers to
be updated:
• When a read is initiated from the RTCC registers
(addresses 0x00 to 0x1F)
• During an RTCC register read operation, when
the register address rolls over from 0x1F to 0x00
The timekeeping registers should be read in a single
operation to utilize the on-board buffers and avoid
rollover issues.
Note 1: Loading invalid values into the time and
date registers will result in undefined
operation.
2: To avoid rollover issues when loading
new time and date values, the
oscillator/clock input should be disabled
by clearing the ST bit for External Crystal
mode and the EXTOSC bit for External
Clock Input mode. After waiting for the
OSCRUN bit to clear, the new values can
be loaded and the ST or EXTOSC bit can
then be re-enabled.
5.3.1
DIGIT CARRY RULES
The following list explains which timer values cause a
digit carry when there is a rollover:
• Time of day: from 11:59:59.99 PM to 12:00:00.00
AM (12-hour mode) or 23:59:59.99 to 00:00:00.00
(24-hour mode), with a carry to the Date and
Weekday fields
• Date: carries to the Month field according to
Table 5-3
• Weekday: from 7 to 1 with no carry
• Month: from 12/31 to 01/01 with a carry to the
Year field
• Year: from 99 to 00 with no carry

GENERATING HUNDREDTH OF
SECONDS
A special algorithm is required to accurately generate
hundredth of seconds. The circuitry utilizes the
4.096 kHz clock signal and counts 41 clock pulses
each for 24 increments of the hundredth of seconds
count. The circuitry then counts 40 clock pulses for the
next increment of the hundredth of second count. This
results in every 25 hundredth of seconds increments
equaling exactly 250 ms. Long term, the hundredth of
seconds frequency will average the desired 100 Hz,
while jitter is minimized short term.
EQUATION 5-2:

ALARM 1 MASKS
The MCP795WXX features two independent alarms.
Each alarm can be used to either generate an interrupt
at a specific time in the future, or to generate a periodic
interrupt every second (Alarm 1 only), minute, hour,
day, day of week, or month.

There is a separate interrupt flag, ALMxIF, for each
alarm. The interrupt flags are set by hardware when the
chosen alarm mask condition matches (Table 5-5 and
Table 5-6). The interrupt flags must be cleared in
software.

Each alarm can independently be assigned to either
the IRQ pin or the WDO pin by configuring
the ALMxPIN bits. Refer to Section 5.8 “Interrupt
Outputs” for details. The alarm interrupt output is
available while operating from the backup power
supply, regardless of the output pin assignments.
All time and date values are stored in the registers as
binary-coded decimal (BCD) values.
Note:
Note 1: The alarm interrupt flags must be cleared
by the user.
2: Loading invalid values into the alarm registers will result in undefined operation.
Throughout this section, references to the
register and bit names for the alarm
modules are referred to generically by the
use of ‘x’ in place of the specific module
number. Thus, “ALMxSEC” might refer to
the seconds register for Alarm 0 or
Alarm 1.

Watchdog Timer
The MCP795WXX features a Watchdog Timer (WDT)
module that can be used to enhance the robustness of
an application. The WDT continuously counts up
toward a specified time-out period. During normal
operation, the application would clear the WDT before
it times out. However, if a failure occurs, the application
would not clear the WDT, causing it to time out, set the
WDTIF interrupt flag, and assert the WDO pin low for a
specified pulse width. This can then be used to reset
the application and recover from the failure.
The WDT time-out period can be configured by setting
the WDTPS<3:0> bits according to Table 5-8. Setting
the WDTDLYEN bit will enable a 64-second nominal
start-up delay. With this enabled, every time the WDT
is restarted or cleared, the WDT will wait for 64 seconds
before starting the time-out period.
Once the WDTIF flag has been set due to a WDT
time-out, the WDTIF flag must be cleared to restart the
WDT.
The WDT is driven by the oscillator. If the oscillator is
not running, then the WDT time-out will not occur.
Note 1: The WDT time-out period should only be
changed while the WDT module is
disabled.

CONFIGURING THE WATCHDOG
TIMER
In order to configure the WDT module, the following
steps need to be performed:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Enable the oscillator.
Configure the WDTPS<3:0> bits to select the
desired time-out period.
If desired, set the WDTDLYEN bit to enable the
64-second start-up delay.
Configure the WDTPWS bit to select the desired
output pulse width.
Ensure the WDTIF flag is cleared.
Enable the WDT module by setting the WDTEN
bit.
5.5.3
CLEARING THE WATCHDOG TIMER
The WDT must be cleared before the time-out period
occurs in order to prevent it from timing out. The WDT
can be cleared using any of the following methods:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Executing a CLRWDT instruction.
Toggling the EVHS pin with the EVWDTEN bit
set.
Disabling/re-enabling the WDT module.
Clearing the WDTIF flag after it has been set.
Reserved
1xxx
Note 1:
The WDT interrupt output will operate regardless of
whether or not either alarm module interrupt output is
assigned to the WDO pin. See Section 5.8.2 “WDO
Interrupt Output” for additional details.
Nominal period assumes FOSC is
32.768 kHz.
WATCHDOG TIMER INTERRUPT
OUTPUT
When the WDT times out, the WDTIF interrupt flag gets
set and the WDO pin is asserted low for a short pulse.
The width of the pulse is determined by the WDTPWS
bit according to Table 5-9.

period, then the transition count will be reset and counting will start over (Figure 5-10). The time-out period is
driven by the oscillator. If the oscillator is not running,
then the time-out will not occur.
The MCP795WXX features two separate event
detection modules: a high-speed event detect and a
low-speed event detect. The high-speed event detect
can be used to detect signal preambles, while the
low-speed event detect is meant for debouncing
mechanical switches.

5.6.1
HIGH-SPEED EVENT DETECT
The high-speed event detect module is designed to
detect a series of digital transitions (both low-to-high
and high-to-low) on the EVHS input, and then generate
an interrupt. The number of transitions required to
occur is determined by the EVHCS<1:0> bits as shown
in Table 5-11. Once the specified number of transitions
have occurred, the EVHIF interrupt flag is set and the
IRQ pin is asserted low.

Clearing the WDT Using EVHS
The EVHS input can also be used to clear the
Watchdog Timer on both low-to-high and high-to-low
transitions by setting the EVWDTEN bit. Note that
when this bit is set, the high-speed event detect module
is disabled and the EVHEN bit is ignored.
The high-speed event detect has a time-out period of
8,192 oscillator cycles (250 ms nominal assuming a
32.768 kHz clock frequency).

Configuring High-Speed Event
Detect
The low-speed event detect module is driven by the
oscillator. If the oscillator is not running, then the
debounce period will not expire and the EVLIF flag will
not be set.
In order to configure the high-speed event detect
module, the following steps need to be performed:
1.

5.
Enable the oscillator.
Configure the EVHCS<1:0> bits to select the

LOW-SPEED EVENT DETECT
Note 1:
The low-speed event detect module is designed to
interface directly with mechanical switches to provide a
debounced signal. The debounce period is selectable
through the EVLPS bit as shown in Table 5-12. Low
speed events occur when the EVLS input toggles and
remains stable for the selected debounce period.
Nominal period assumes FOSC is
32.768 kHz.
5.6.2.1
Configuring Low-Speed Event
Detect
In order to configure the low-speed event detect
module, the following steps need to be performed:
After a transition on the EVLS input, the MCP795WXX
will begin counting the debounce period. Either a
high-to-low or a low-to-high transition will initiate
counting. Once the debounce period has expired, the
EVLIF flag is set and the IRQ pin is asserted low
(Figure 5-12). If the EVLS input returns to its original
level before the debounce period expires, then
counting is aborted and the EVLIF flag will not be set.

5.8.2
Interrupt Outputs
The MCP795WXX features interrupt outputs for the
alarm and event detect modules. The alarm interrupt
output can be assigned to either the IRQ pin or the
WDO pin, based on the setting of the ALMxPIN bit for
each alarm module. Setting ALMxPIN to a ‘1’ assigns
the associated alarm module to the WDO pin and clearing ALMxPIN to a ‘0’ assigns the module to the IRQ pin.
The event detect modules are always assigned to the
IRQ pin.
Both the IRQ and the WDO pins are active-low.
5.8.1
IRQ INTERRUPT OUTPUT
The interrupt outputs of modules that are enabled and
assigned to the IRQ pin are OR’d together. If any of the
interrupt flags are set, then the IRQ pin will assert low.
In order to deassert the IRQ pin, all of the assigned
interrupt flags must be cleared or the modules must be
disabled.
The IRQ interrupt output is available when operating
from the backup power supply.
WDO INTERRUPT OUTPUT
If an alarm module is enabled and assigned to the
WDO pin, then when the alarm triggers and the
interrupt flag, ALMxIF, is set, the WDO pin will be
asserted low for 8 oscillator cycles (244 µs nominal
assuming a 32.768 kHz clock frequency) and then
deasserted again. The ALMxIF flag must then be
cleared to rearm the WDO output and allow it to trigger
again upon the next alarm interrupt.
If both alarm modules are enabled and assigned to the
WDO pin, then either module can trigger the WDO
output pulse. However, both ALMxIF flags must be
cleared for the WDO output to trigger upon the next
alarm interrupt.
The Watchdog Timer output on the WDO pin is
independent of the alarm modules and will occur
regardless of the state of the alarm modules and their
interrupt flags.
The WDO interrupt output is available when operating
from the backup power supply.

Digital Trimming
The MCP795WXX features digital trimming to correct
for inaccuracies of the external crystal or clock source,
up to roughly ±259 ppm when CRSTRIM = 0. In
addition to compensating for intrinsic inaccuracies in
the clock, this feature can also be used to correct for
error due to temperature variation. This can enable the
user to achieve high levels of accuracy across a wide
temperature operating range.
Digital trimming consists of the MCP795WXX
periodically adding or subtracting clock cycles,
resulting in small adjustments in the internal timing.
REGISTER 5-19:
The adjustment occurs once per minute when
CRSTRIM = 0. The TRIMSIGN bit specifies whether to
add cycles or to subtract them. The TRIMVAL<7:0> bits
are used to specify by how many clock cycles to adjust.
Each step in the TRIMVAL<7:0> value equates to
adding or subtracting two clock pulses to or from the
32.768 kHz clock signal. This results in a correction of
roughly 1.017 ppm per step when CRSTRIM = 0.
Setting TRIMVAL<7:0> to 0x00 disables digital
trimming.
Digital trimming also occurs while operating off the
backup supply.

CALIBRATION
In order to perform calibration, the number of error
clock pulses per minute must be found and the
corresponding trim value must be loaded into
TRIMVAL<7:0>.
There are two methods for determining the trim value.
The first method involves measuring an output
frequency directly and calculating the deviation from
ideal. The second method involves observing the
number of seconds gained or lost over a period of time.
Once the OSCTRIM register has been loaded, digital
trimming will automatically occur every minute
(CRSTRIM = 0).

Calibration by Measuring Frequency
To calibrate the MCP795WXX by measuring the output
frequency, perform the following steps:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Enable the crystal oscillator or external clock
input by setting the ST bit or EXTOSC bit,
respectively.
Ensure TRIMVAL<7:0> is reset to 0x00.
Select an output frequency by setting
SQWFS<1:0>.
Set SQWEN to enable the square wave output.
Measure the resulting output frequency using a
calibrated measurement tool, such as a
frequency counter.
Calculate the number of error clocks per minute
(see Equation 5-3).

• If the MCP795WXX has lost time relative to the

more accuracy).
Calculate the PPM deviation (see Equation 5-4).

COARSE TRIM MODE
When CRSTRIM = 1, Coarse Trim mode is enabled.
While in this mode, the MCP795WXX will apply
trimming every second. If SQWEN is set, the CLKOUT
pin will output a trimmed 1 Hz nominal clock signal.
Because trimming is applied every second rather than
every minute, each step of the TRIMVAL<7:0> value
has a larger effect on the resulting time deviation and
output clock frequency.

2: With Coarse Trim mode enabled, the

Battery Backup
The MCP795WXX features a backup power supply
input (VBAT) that can be used to provide power to the
timekeeping circuitry, RTCC registers, and SRAM while
primary power is unavailable. The MCP795WXX will
automatically switch to backup power when VCC falls
below VTRIP, and back to VCC when it is above VTRIP.
POWER-FAIL TIMESTAMP
The MCP795WXX includes a power-fail timestamp
module that stores the minutes, hours, date, and month
when primary power is lost and when it is restored
(Figure 5-16). The PWRFAIL bit is also set to indicate
that a power failure occurred.
Note:
Throughout this section, references to the
register and bit names for the Power-Fail
Timestamp module are referred to
generically by the use of ‘x’ in place of the
specific
module
name.
Thus,
“PWRxxMIN” might refer to the minutes
register for power-down or power-up.
The VBATEN bit must be set to enable the VBAT input.

Note:
The Watchdog Timer is automatically

is restored.
To utilize the power-fail timestamp feature, a backup
power supply must be available with the VBAT input
enabled, and the oscillator should also be running to
ensure accurate functionality.
Note 1: The PWRFAIL bit must be cleared to log
new timestamp data. This is to ensure
previous timestamp data is not lost.
2: Clearing the PWRFAIL bit will clear all
timestamp registers.

MCP795W1X/MCP795W2X
6.0
ON-BOARD MEMORY
There is no limit to the number of bytes that can be
written in a single command. However, because the
RTCC registers and SRAM are separate blocks, writing
past the end of each block will cause the internal
Address Pointer to roll over to the beginning of the
same block. Specifically, the Address Pointer will roll
over from 0x1F to 0x00, and from 0x5F to 0x20.
The MCP795W2X has 2 Kbits (256 bytes) of
EEPROM, while the MCP795W1X has 1 Kbit
(128 bytes) of EEPROM. In addition, the devices have
16 bytes of protected EEPROM for storing crucial
information, and 64 bytes of SRAM for general purpose
usage. The SRAM is retained when the primary power
supply is removed if a backup supply is present and
enabled. Since the EEPROM is nonvolatile, it does not
require a supply for data retention.
Each data byte is latched into memory as it is received.
Once all data bytes have been transmitted, CS is
driven high to end the operation (Figure 6-1).
6.1.2
Although the SRAM is a separate block from the RTCC
registers, they are accessed using the same
instructions, READ and WRITE. The EEPROM is
accessed using the EEREAD and EEWRITE
instructions, and the protected EEPROM is accessed
using the IDREAD and IDWRITE instructions. RTCC
and SRAM can be accessed for reads or writes
immediately after starting an EEPROM write cycle.
6.1
The device is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit
READ instruction is transmitted to the MCP795WXX
followed by an 8-bit address.
After the READ instruction and address are sent, the
data stored in the memory at the selected address is
shifted out on the SO pin. Data stored in the memory at
the next address can be read sequentially by
continuing to provide clock pulses to the slave. The
internal Address Pointer automatically increments to
the next higher address after each byte of data is
shifted out. The Address Pointer allows the entire
memory block to be serially read during one operation.
The read operation is terminated by driving CS high
(Figure 6-2).
SRAM/RTCC Registers
The RTCC registers are located at addresses 0x00 to
0x1F, and the SRAM is located at addresses 0x20 to
0x5F. The SRAM can be accessed while the RTCC
registers are being internally updated. The SRAM is not
initialized by a Power-on Reset (POR).
Neither the RTCC registers nor the SRAM can be
accessed when the device is operating off the backup
power supply.
6.1.1
SRAM/RTCC REGISTER READ
SEQUENCE
Because the RTCC registers and SRAM are separate
blocks, reading past the end of each block will cause
the Address Pointer to roll over to the beginning of the
same block. Specifically, the Address Pointer will roll
over from 0x1F to 0x00, and from 0x5F to 0x20.
SRAM/RTCC REGISTER WRITE
SEQUENCE
The device is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit
WRITE instruction is transmitted to the MCP795WXX
followed by an 8-bit address. Next, the data to be
written is transmitted.

Status Register
The STATUS register contains the BP<1:0>, WEL and
WIP bits. The STATUS register is accessed using the
SRREAD and SRWRITE instructions.
The Block Protection (BP<1:0>) bits are used to set the
block write protection for the EEPROM array according
to Table 6-1. These bits are set by the user issuing the
SRWRITE instruction. These bits are nonvolatile.
The WIP bit indicates whether the MCP795WXX is
busy with a nonvolatile memory write operation. When
set to a ‘1’, a write is in progress. When set to a ‘0’, no
write is in progress. This bit is read-only.

STATUS REGISTER WRITE
SEQUENCE
The Write Status Register instruction (SRWRITE)
allows the user to write to the nonvolatile bits in the
STATUS register.
Prior to any attempt to write data to the STATUS
register, the write enable latch must be set by issuing
the EEWREN instruction. This is done by setting CS low
and then clocking out the proper instruction into the
MCP795WXX.
 2011-2016 Microchip Technology Inc.
After all eight bits of the instruction are transmitted, CS
must be driven high to set the write enable latch. If the
write operation is initiated immediately after the
EEWREN instruction without CS driven high, data will not
be written to the array since the write enable latch was
not properly set. The device is selected by pulling CS
low. The 8-bit SRWRITE instruction is transmitted to the
MCP795WXX followed by the 8-bit data byte. CS is
driven high to end the operation and initiate the
nonvolatile write cycle (Figure 6-4).

EEPROM READ SEQUENCE
The device is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit
EEREAD instruction is transmitted to the MCP795WXX
followed by an 8-bit address. See Figure 6-8 for more
details.
After the correct EEREAD instruction and address are
sent, the data stored in the EEPROM at the selected
address is shifted out on the SO pin. Data stored in the
memory at the next address can be read sequentially
by continuing to provide clock pulses to the slave. The
internal Address Pointer automatically increments to
the next higher address after each byte of data is
shifted out. When the highest address is reached, the
address counter rolls over to address 00h allowing the
read cycle to be continued indefinitely. The read
operation is terminated by raising the CS pin
(Figure 6-8).
6.3.3
Additionally, a page address begins with XXXX x000
and ends with XXXX x111. If the internal address
counter reaches XXXX
x111 and clock signals
continue to be applied to the chip, the address counter
will roll back to the first address of the page and
over-write any data that previously existed in those
locations.
Note:
EEPROM WRITE SEQUENCE
Prior to any attempt to write data to the MCP795WXX
EEPROM, the write enable latch must be set by issuing
the EEWREN instruction. This is done by setting CS low
and then clocking out the proper instruction into the
MCP795WXX. After all eight bits of the instruction are
transmitted, CS must be driven high to set the write
enable latch. If the write operation is initiated
immediately after the EEWREN instruction without CS
driven high, data will not be written to the array since
the write enable latch was not properly set.
After setting the write enable latch, the user may
proceed by driving CS low, issuing an EEWRITE
instruction, followed by the address, and then the data
to be written. Up to 8 bytes of data can be sent to the
device before a write cycle is necessary. The only
restriction is that all of the bytes must reside in the
same page.
FIGURE 6-8:
EEPROM write operations are limited to
writing bytes within a single physical page,
regardless of the number of bytes
actually being written. Physical page
boundaries start at addresses that are
integer multiples of the page buffer size
(or ‘page size’) and, end at addresses that
are integer multiples of page size – 1. If an
EEWRITE command attempts to write
across a physical page boundary, the
result is that the data wraps around to the
beginning of the current page (overwriting
data previously stored there), instead of
being written to the next page as might be
expected. It is therefore necessary for the
application software to prevent EEPROM
write operations that would attempt to
cross a page boundary.
For the data to be actually written to the array, the CS
must be brought high after the Least Significant bit (D0)
of the nth data byte has been clocked in. If CS is driven
high at any other time, the write operation will not be
completed. Refer to Figure 6-9 and Figure 6-10 for
more detailed illustrations on the byte write sequence
and the page write sequence respectively. While the
write is in progress, the STATUS register may be read
to check the status of the WIP, WEL, BP1 and BP0 bits.
Attempting to read a memory array location will not be
possible during a write cycle. Polling the WIP bit in the
STATUS register is recommended in order to
determine if a write cycle is in progress. When the write
cycle is completed, the write enable latch is reset.

Protected EEPROM
The MCP795WXX features a 128-bit protected
EEPROM block, organized as two 8-byte pages, that
requires a special unlock sequence to be followed in
order to write to the memory. The protected EEPROM
can be used for storing crucial information such as a
unique serial number. The MCP795WX1 and
MCP795WX2 include an EUI-48 and EUI-64 node
address, respectively, pre-programmed into the
protected EEPROM block. Custom programming is
also available.
The protected EEPROM block is located at addresses
0x00 to 0x0F and is accessed using the IDREAD and
IDWRITE instructions.
Note:
Attempts to access addresses outside of
0x00 to 0x0F will result in the
MCP795WXX ignoring the instruction.

PROTECTED EEPROM READ
SEQUENCE
The device is selected by pulling CS low. The 8-bit
IDREAD instruction is transmitted to the MCP795WXX
followed by an 8-bit address. See Figure 6-11 for more
details.
After the correct IDREAD instruction and address are
sent, the data stored in the protected EEPROM at the
selected address is shifted out on the SO pin. Data
stored in the memory at the next address can be read
sequentially by continuing to provide clock pulses to
the slave. The internal Address Pointer automatically
increments to the next higher address after each byte
of data is shifted out. When the highest address is
reached, the address counter rolls over to address 00h
allowing the read cycle to be continued indefinitely. The
read operation is terminated by raising the CS pin.

6.4.2
PROTECTED EEPROM UNLOCK
SEQUENCE
The protected EEPROM block requires a special
unlock sequence to prevent unintended writes, utilizing
the UNLOCK instruction.
Before performing the unlock sequence, the WEL bit
must first be set by executing an EEWREN instruction
(see Section 6.3.1 “Write Enable and Write Disable”
for details).
To unlock the block, the following sequence must be
followed after setting the WEL bit:
1.
2.
3.
Execute an UNLOCK instruction with a data byte
of 0x55
Execute an UNLOCK instruction with a data byte
of 0xAA
Write the desired data bytes to the protected
EEPROM using the IDWRITE instruction
Figure 6-12 illustrates the sequence.
Note 1: Diverging from any step of the unlock
sequence may result in the EEPROM
remaining locked, the write operation
being ignored, and the WEL bit being
reset.
2: Unlocking the EEPROM is not required in
order to read from the memory.
An entire protected EEPROM page does not have to be
written in a single operation. However, the block is
locked after each write operation and must be unlocked
again to start a new Write command.
6.4.3
PROTECTED EEPROM WRITE
SEQUENCE
Prior to any attempt to write data to the MCP795WXX
protected EEPROM block, the write enable latch must
be set by issuing the EEWREN instruction, and then the
protected EEPROM unlock sequence must be
performed. The EEWREN instruction is issued by setting
CS low and then clocking out the proper instruction into
the MCP795WXX. After all eight bits of the instruction
are transmitted, CS must be driven high to set the write
enable latch.
Note:
Protected EEPROM write operations are
limited to writing bytes within a single
physical page, regardless of the number
of bytes actually being written. Physical
page boundaries start at addresses that
are integer multiples of the page buffer
size (or ‘page size’) and, end at addresses
that are integer multiples of page size – 1.
If an IDWRITE command attempts to write
across a physical page boundary, the
result is that the data wraps around to the
beginning of the current page (overwriting
data previously stored there), instead of
being written to the next page as might be
expected. It is therefore necessary for the
application software to prevent protected
EEPROM write operations that would
attempt to cross a page boundary.
For the data to be actually written to the array, the CS
must be brought high after the Least Significant bit (D0)
of the nth data byte has been clocked in. If CS is driven
high at any other time, the write operation will not be
completed. Refer to Figure 6-12 for more detailed
illustrations on the page write sequence. While the
write is in progress, the STATUS register may be read
to check the status of the WIP, WEL, BP1 and BP0 bits.
Attempting to read a memory array location will not be
possible during a write cycle. Polling the WIP bit in the
STATUS register is recommended in order to
determine if a write cycle is in progress. When the write
cycle is completed, the write enable latch is reset.
If an attempt is made to write to an address outside of
the 0x00 to 0x0F range, the MCP795WXX will not
execute the WRITE instruction, no data will be written,
and the device will immediately accept a new
command.
After setting the write enable latch and performing the
unlock sequence, the user may proceed by driving CS
low, issuing an IDWRITE instruction, followed by the
address, and then the data to be written. Up to 8 bytes
of data can be sent to the device before a write cycle is
necessary. The only restriction is that all of the bytes
must reside in the same page. Additionally, a page
address begins with XXXX x000 and ends with
XXXX x111. If the internal address counter reaches
XXXX x111 and clock signals continue to be applied to
the chip, the address counter will roll back to the first
address of the page and over-write any data that
previously existed in those locations.

Pre-Programmed EUI-48 or EUI-64
Node Address
The MCP795WX1 and MCP795WX2 are programmed
at the factory with a globally unique node address
stored in the protected EEPROM block.
6.5.1
EUI-48 NODE ADDRESS
(MCP795WX1)
6.5.1.1
EUI-64 NODE ADDRESS
(MCP795WX2)
The 8-byte EUI-64™ node address value of the
MCP795WX2 is stored in array locations 0x00 through
0x07, as shown in Figure 6-14. The first three bytes are
the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) assigned
to Microchip by the IEEE Registration Authority.
Note:
The 6-byte EUI-48™ node address value of the
MCP795WX1 is stored in protected EEPROM
locations 0x02 through 0x07, as shown in Figure 6-13.
The first three bytes are the Organizationally Unique
Identifier (OUI) assigned to Microchip by the IEEE
Registration Authority. The remaining three bytes are
the Extension Identifier, and are generated by
Microchip to ensure a globally-unique, 48-bit value.
Note:
6.5.2
Currently,
Microchip’s
OUIs
are
0x0004A3, 0x001EC0, 0xD88039 and
0x5410EC, though this will change as
addresses are exhausted.
The remaining five bytes are the Extension Identifier,
and are generated by Microchip to ensure a
globally-unique, 64-bit value.
Note:
Currently,
Microchip’s
OUIs
are
0x0004A3, 0x001EC0, 0xD88039 and
0x5410EC, though this will change as
addresses are exhausted.
EUI-64 Support Using the
MCP795WX1
In conformance with IEEE guidelines,
Microchip will not use the values 0xFFFE
and 0xFFFF for the first two bytes of the
EUI-64 Extension Identifier. These two
values are specifically reserved to allow
applications to encapsulate EUI-48
addresses into EUI-64 addresses.
The pre-programmed EUI-48 node address of the
MCP795WX1 can easily be encapsulated at the
application level to form a globally unique, 64-bit node
address for systems utilizing the EUI-64 standard. This
is done by adding 0xFFFE between the OUI and the
Extension Identifier, as shown below.
Note:
As an alternative, the MCP795WX2
features an EUI-64 node address that can
be used in EUI-64 applications directly
without the need for encapsulation,
thereby simplifying system software. See
Section 6.5.2 “EUI-64 Node Address
(MCP795WX2)” for details.
