DESCRIPTION
The DS12887 Real Time Clock plus RAM is designed to be a direct replacement for the DS1287. The
DS12887 is identical in form, fit, and function to the DS1287, and has an additional 64 bytes of general
purpose RAM. Access to this additional RAM space is determined by the logic level presented on AD6
during the address portion of an access cycle. A lithium energy source, quartz crystal, and write–
protection circuitry are contained within a 24–pin dual in-line package. As such, the DS12887 is a
complete subsystem replacing 16 components in a typical application. The functions include a nonvolatile
time–of–day clock, an alarm, a one-hundred–year calendar, programmable interrupt, square wave

generator, and 114 bytes of nonvolatile static RAM. The real time clock is distinctive in that time–of–day
and memory are maintained even in the absence of power.
OPERATION
The block diagram in Figure 1 shows the pin connections with the major internal functions of the
DS12887. The following paragraphs describe the function of each pin.
BLOCK DIAGRAM DS12887 Figure 1
POWER–DOWN/POWER–UP CONSIDERATIONS
The Real Time Clock function will continue to operate and all of the RAM, time, calendar, and alarm
memory locations remain nonvolatile regardless of the level of the VCC input. When VCC is applied to the
DS12887 and reaches a level of greater than 4.25 volts, the device becomes accessible after 200 ms,
provided that the oscillator is running and the oscillator countdown chain is not in reset (see Register A).
This time period allows the system to stabilize after power is applied. When VCC falls below 4.25 volts,
the chip select input is internally forced to an inactive level regardless of the value of CS at the input pin.
The DS12887 is, therefore, write–protected. When the DS12887 is in a write–protected state, all inputs
are ignored and all outputs are in a high impedance state. When VCC falls below a level of approximately
3 volts, the external VCC supply is switched off and an internal lithium energy source supplies power to
the Real Time Clock and the RAM memory.
SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
GND, VCC – DC power is provided to the device on these pins. VCC is the +5 volt input. When 5 volts are
applied within normal limits, the device is fully accessible and data can be written and read. When VCC is
below 4.25 volts typical, reads and writes are inhibited. However, the timekeeping function continues
2 of 19
DS12887
unaffected by the lower input voltage. As VCC falls below 3 volts typical, the RAM and timekeeper are
switched over to an internal lithium energy source. The timekeeping function maintains an accuracy of ±1
minute per month at 25°C regardless of the voltage input on the VCC pin.
MOT (Mode Select) – The MOT pin offers the flexibility to choose between two bus types. When
connected to VCC, Motorola bus timing is selected. When connected to GND or left disconnected, Intel
bus timing is selected. The pin has an internal pulldown resistance of approximately 20 kΩ.
SQW (Square Wave Output) – The SQW pin can output a signal from one of 13 taps provided by the
15 internal divider stages of the Real Time Clock. The frequency of the SQW pin can be changed by
programming Register A as shown in Table 1. The SQW signal can be turned on and off using the SQWE
bit in Register B. The SQW signal is not available when VCC is less than 4.25 volts, typically.

AD0–AD7 (Multiplexed Bidirectional Address/Data Bus) – Multiplexed buses save pins because
address information and data information time-share the same signal paths. The addresses are present
during the first portion of the bus cycle and the same pins and signal paths are used for data in the second
portion of the cycle. Address/data multiplexing does not slow the access time of the DS12887 since the
bus change from address to data occurs during the internal RAM access time. Addresses must be valid
prior to the falling edge of AS/ ALE, at which time the DS12887 latches the address from AD0 to AD6.
Valid write data must be present and held stable during the latter portion of the DS or WR pulses. In a
read cycle the DS12887 outputs 8 bits of data during the latter portion of the DS or RD pulses. The read
cycle is terminated and the bus returns to a high impedance state as DS transitions low in the case of
Motorola timing or as RD transitions high in the case of Intel timing.
AS (Address Strobe Input) – A positive-going address strobe pulse serves to demultiplex the bus. The
falling edge of AS/ALE causes the address to be latched within the DS12887. The next rising edge that
3 of 19
DS12887
occurs on the AS bus will clear the address regardless of whether CS is asserted. Access commands
should be sent in pairs.
DS (Data Strobe or Read Input) – The DS/ RD pin has two modes of operation depending on the level
of the MOT pin. When the MOT pin is connected to VCC, Motorola bus timing is selected. In this mode
DS is a positive pulse during the latter portion of the bus cycle and is called Data Strobe. During read
cycles, DS signifies the time that the DS12887 is to drive the bidirectional bus. In write cycles the trailing
edge of DS causes the DS12887 to latch the written data. When the MOT pin is connected to GND, Intel
bus timing is selected. In this mode the DS pin is called Read ( RD ). RD identifies the time period when
the DS12887 drives the bus with read data. The RD signal is the same definition as the Output Enable
( OE ) signal on a typical memory.
R/ W (Read/Write Input) – The R/ W pin also has two modes of operation. When the MOT pin is
connected to VCC for Motorola timing, R/ W is at a level which indicates whether the current cycle is a
read or write. A read cycle is indicated with a high level on R/ W while DS is high. A write cycle is
indicated when R/ W is low during DS.
When the MOT pin is connected to GND for Intel timing, the R/ W signal is an active low signal called
WR. In this mode the R/ W pin has the same meaning as the Write Enable signal ( WE ) on generic RAMs.
CS (Chip Select Input) – The Chip Select signal must be asserted low for a bus cycle in the DS12887 to
be accessed. CS must be kept in the active state during DS and AS for Motorola timing and during RD
and WR for Intel timing. Bus cycles which take place without asserting CS will latch addresses but no
access will occur. When VCC is below 4.25 volts, the DS12887 internally inhibits access cycles by
internally disabling the CS input. This action protects both the real time clock data and RAM data during
power outages.
(Interrupt Request Output) – The IRQ pin is an active low output of the DS12887 that can be
used as an interrupt input to a processor. The IRQ output remains low as long as the status bit causing the
interrupt is present and the corresponding interrupt–enable bit is set. To clear the IRQ pin the processor
program normally reads the C register. The RESET pin also clears pending interrupts.
IRQ
When no interrupt conditions are present, the IRQ level is in the high impedance state. Multiple
interrupting devices can be connected to an IRQ bus. The IRQ bus is an open drain output and requires an
external pullup resistor.
RESET (Reset Input) – The RESET pin has no effect on the clock, calendar, or RAM. On power–up the
RESET pin can be held low for a time in order to allow the power supply to stabilize. The amount of time
that RESET is held low is dependent on the application. However, if RESET is used on power–up, the
time RESET is low should exceed 200 ms to make sure that the internal timer that controls the DS12887
on power-up has timed out. When RESET is low and VCC is above 4.25 volts, the following occurs:

In a typical application RESET can be connected to VCC. This connection will allow the DS12887 to go in
and out of power fail without affecting any of the control registers.
ADDRESS MAP
The address map of the DS12887 is shown in Figure 2. The address map consists of 114 bytes of user
RAM, 10 bytes of RAM that contain the RTC time, calendar, and alarm data, and 4 bytes which are used
for control and status. All 128 bytes can be directly written or read except for the following:
1. Registers C and D are read–only.
2. Bit 7 of Register A is read–only.
3. The high order bit of the seconds byte is read–only.
The contents of four registers (A,B,C, and D) are described in the “Registers” section.

TIME, CALENDAR AND ALARM LOCATIONS
The time and calendar information is obtained by reading the appropriate memory bytes. The time,
calendar, and alarm are set or initialized by writing the appropriate RAM bytes. The contents of the 10
time, calendar, and alarm bytes can be either Binary or Binary–Coded Decimal (BCD) format. Before
writing the internal time, calendar, and alarm registers, the SET bit in Register B should be written to a
logic 1 to prevent updates from occurring while access is being attempted. In addition to writing the 10
time, calendar, and alarm registers in a selected format (binary or BCD), the data mode bit (DM) of
Register B must be set to the appropriate logic level. All 10 time, calendar, and alarm bytes must use the
same data mode. The set bit in Register B should be cleared after the data mode bit has been written to
allow the real time clock to update the time and calendar bytes. Once initialized, the real time clock
makes all updates in the selected mode. The data mode cannot be changed without reinitializing the 10
data bytes. Table 2 shows the binary and BCD formats of the 10 time, calendar, and alarm locations. The
24–12 bit cannot be changed without reinitializing the hour locations. When the 12–hour format is
selected, the high order bit of the hours byte represents PM when it is a logic 1. The time, calendar, and
alarm bytes are always accessible because they are double buffered. Once per second the 10 bytes are
advanced by 1 second and checked for an alarm condition. If a read of the time and calendar data occurs
during an update, a problem exists where seconds, minutes, hours, etc. may not correlate. The probability
of reading incorrect time and calendar data is low. Several methods of avoiding any possible incorrect
time and calendar reads are covered later in this text.
The three alarm bytes can be used in two ways. First, when the alarm time is written in the appropriate
hours, minutes, and seconds alarm locations, the alarm interrupt is initiated at the specified time each day
if the alarm enable bit is high. The second use condition is to insert a “don’t care” state in one or more of
the three alarm bytes. The “don’t care” code is any hexadecimal value from C0 to FF. The two most
significant bits of each byte set the “don’t care” condition when at logic 1. An alarm will be generated
each hour when the “don’t care” bits are set in the hours byte. Similarly, an alarm is generated every
minute with “don’t care” codes in the hours and minute alarm bytes. The “don’t care” codes in all three
alarm bytes create an interrupt every second.

DS12887
NONVOLATILE RAM
The 114 general purpose nonvolatile RAM bytes are not dedicated to any special function within the
DS12887. They can be used by the processor program as nonvolatile memory and are fully available
during the update cycle.
INTERRUPTS
The RTC plus RAM includes three separate, fully automatic sources of interrupt for a processor. The
alarm interrupt can be programmed to occur at rates from once per second to once per day. The periodic
interrupt can be selected for rates from 500 ms to 122 µs. The update–ended interrupt can be used to
indicate to the program that an update cycle is complete. Each of these independent interrupt conditions is
described in greater detail in other sections of this text.
The processor program can select which interrupts, if any, are going to be used. Three bits in Register B
enable the interrupts. Writing a logic 1 to an interrupt-enable bit permits that interrupt to be initiated when
the event occurs. A 0 in an interrupt-enable bit prohibits the IRQ pin from being asserted from that
interrupt condition. If an interrupt flag is already set when an interrupt is enabled, IRQ is immediately set
at an active level, although the interrupt initiating the event may have occurred much earlier. As a result,
there are cases where the program should clear such earlier initiated interrupts before first enabling new
interrupts.
When an interrupt event occurs, the relating flag bit is set to logic 1 in Register C. These flag bits are set
independently of the state of the corresponding enable bit in Register B. The flag bit can be used in a
polling mode without enabling the corresponding enable bits. The interrupt flag bit is a status bit which
software can interrogate as necessary. When a flag is set, an indication is given to software that an
interrupt event has occurred since the flag bit was last read; however, care should be taken when using the
flag bits as they are cleared each time Register C is read. Double latching is included with Register C so
that bits which are set remain stable throughout the read cycle. All bits which are set (high) are cleared
when read and new interrupts which are pending during the read cycle are held until after the cycle is
completed. One, 2, or 3 bits can be set when reading Register C. Each utilized flag bit should be
examined when read to ensure that no interrupts are lost.
The second flag bit usage method is with fully enabled interrupts. When an interrupt flag bit is set and the
corresponding interrupt enable bit is also set, the IRQ pin is asserted low. IRQ is asserted as long as at
least one of the three interrupt sources has its flag and enable bits both set. The IRQF bit in Register C is
a 1 whenever the IRQ pin is being driven low. Determination that the RTC initiated an interrupt is
accomplished by reading Register C. A logic 1 in bit 7 (IRQF bit) indicates that one or more interrupts
have been initiated by the DS12887. The act of reading Register C clears all active flag bits and the IRQF
bit.
OSCILLATOR CONTROL BITS
When the DS12887 is shipped from the factory, the internal oscillator is turned off. This feature prevents
the lithium energy cell from being used until it is installed in a system. A pattern of 010 in bits 4 through
6 of Register A will turn the oscillator on and enable the countdown chain. A pattern of 11X will turn the
oscillator on, but holds the countdown chain of the oscillator in reset. All other combinations of bits 4
through 6 keep the oscillator off.

DS12887
SQUARE WAVE OUTPUT SELECTION
Thirteen of the 15 divider taps are made available to a 1-of-15 selector, as shown in the block diagram of
Figure 1. The first purpose of selecting a divider tap is to generate a square wave output signal on the
SQW pin. The RS0–RS3 bits in Register A establish the square wave output frequency. These
frequencies are listed in Table 1. The SQW frequency selection shares its 1–of–15 selector with the
periodic interrupt generator. Once the frequency is selected, the output of the SQW pin can be turned on
and off under program control with the square wave enable bit (SQWE).
PERIODIC INTERRUPT SELECTION
The periodic interrupt will cause the IRQ pin to go to an active state from once every 500 ms to once
every 122 µs. This function is separate from the alarm interrupt which can be output from once per
second to once per day. The periodic interrupt rate is selected using the same Register A bits which select
the square wave frequency (see Table 1). Changing the Register A bits affects both the square wave
frequency and the periodic interrupt output. However, each function has a separate enable bit in Register
B. The SQWE bit controls the square wave output. Similarly, the periodic interrupt is enabled by the PIE
bit in Register B. The periodic interrupt can be used with software counters to measure inputs, create
output intervals, or await the next needed software function.
UPDATE CYCLE
The DS12887 executes an update cycle once per second regardless of the SET bit in Register B. When
the SET bit in Register B is set to 1, the user copy of the double buffered time, calendar, and alarm bytes
is frozen and will not update as the time increments. However, the time countdown chain continues to
update the internal copy of the buffer. This feature allows time to maintain accuracy independent of
reading or writing the time, calendar, and alarm buffers and also guarantees that time and calendar
information is consistent. The update cycle also compares each alarm byte with the corresponding time
byte and issues an alarm if a match or if a “don’t care” code is present in all three positions.
There are three methods that can handle access of the real time clock that avoid any possibility of
accessing inconsistent time and calendar data. The first method uses the update–ended interrupt. If
enabled, an interrupt occurs after every up date cycle that indicates that over 999 ms are available to read
valid time and date information. If this interrupt is used, the IRQF bit in Register C should be cleared
before leaving the interrupt routine.
A second method uses the update–in–progress bit (UIP) in Register A to determine if the update cycle is
in progress. The UIP bit will pulse once per second. After the UIP bit goes high, the update transfer
occurs 244 µs later. If a low is read on the UIP bit, the user has at least 244 µs before the time/calendar
data will be changed. Therefore, the user should avoid interrupt service routines that would cause the time
needed to read valid time/calendar data to exceed 244 µs.
The third method uses a periodic interrupt to determine if an update cycle is in progress. The UIP bit in
Register A is set high between the setting of the PF bit in Register C (see Figure 3). Periodic interrupts
that occur at a rate of greater than tBUC allow valid time and date information to be reached at each
occurrence of the periodic interrupt. The reads should be complete within one (tPI/2 + tBUC) to ensure that
data is not read during the update cycle.

The Update In Progress (UIP) bit is a status flag that can be monitored. When the UIP bit is a 1, the
update transfer will soon occur. When UIP is a 0, the update transfer will not occur for at least 244 µs.
The time, calendar, and alarm information in RAM is fully available for access when the UIP bit is 0. The
UIP bit is read only and is not affected by RESET . Writing the SET bit in Register B to a 1 inhibits any
update transfer and clears the UIP status bit.
DV0, DV1, DV2
These 3 bits are used to turn the oscillator on or off and to reset the countdown chain. A pattern of 010 is
the only combination of bits that will turn the oscillator on and allow the RTC to keep time. A pattern of
11X will enable the oscillator but holds the countdown chain in reset. The next update will occur at 500
ms after a pattern of 010 is written to DV0, DV1, and DV2.
RS3, RS2, RS1, RS0
These four rate–selection bits select one of the 13 taps on the 15–stage divider or disable the divider
output. The tap selected can be used to generate an output square wave (SQW pin) and/or a periodic
interrupt. The user can do one of the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Enable the interrupt with the PIE bit;
Enable the SQW output pin with the SQWE bit;
Enable both at the same time and the same rate; or
Enable neither.
Table 1 lists the periodic interrupt rates and the square wave frequencies that can be chosen with the RS
bits. These four read/write bits are not affected by RESET .

SET
When the SET bit is a 0, the update transfer functions normally by advancing the counts once per second.
When the SET bit is written to a 1, any update transfer is inhibited and the program can initialize the time
and calendar bytes without an update occurring in the midst of initializing. Read cycles can be executed
in a similar manner. SET is a read/write bit that is not modified by RESET or internal functions of the
DS12887.
PIE
The periodic interrupt enable PIE bit is a read/write bit which allows the Periodic Interrupt Flag (PF) bit
in Register C to drive the IRQ pin low. When the PIE bit is set to 1, periodic interrupts are generated by
driving the IRQ pin low at a rate specified by the RS3–RS0 bits of Register A. A 0 in the PIE bit blocks
the IRQ output from being driven by a periodic interrupt, but the Periodic Flag (PF) bit is still set at the
periodic rate. PIE is not modified by any internal DS12887 functions, but is cleared to 0 on RESET .
AIE
The Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE) bit is a read/write bit which, when set to a 1, permits the Alarm Flag
(AF) bit in Register C to assert IRQ . An alarm interrupt occurs for each second that the three time bytes
equal the three alarm bytes including a “don’t care” alarm code of binary 11XXXXXX. When the AIE bit
is set to 0, the AF bit does not initiate the IRQ signal. The RESET pin clears AIE to 0. The internal
functions of the DS12887 do not affect the AIE bit.
UIE
The Update Ended Interrupt Enable (UIE) bit is a read/ write that enables the Update End Flag (UF) bit in
Register C to assert IRQ . The RESET pin going low or the SET bit going high clears to UIE bit.
SQWE
When the Square Wave Enable (SQWE) bit is set to a 1, a square wave signal at the frequency set by the
rate–selection bits RS3 through RS0 is driven out on a SQW pin. When the SQWE bit is set to z0, the
SQW pin is held low; the state of SQWE is cleared by the RESET pin. SQWE is a read/write bit.
DM
The Data Mode (DM) bit indicates whether time and calendar information is in binary or BCD format.
The DM bit is set by the program to the appropriate format and can be read as required. This bit is not
modified by internal functions or RESET . A 1 in DM signifies binary data while a 0 in DM specifies
Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) data.
24/12
The 24/12 control bit establishes the format of the hours byte. A 1 indicates the 24–hour mode and a 0
indicates the 12–hour mode. This bit is read/write and is not affected by internal functions of RESET .

DS12887
DSE
The Daylight Savings Enable (DSE) bit is a read/write bit which enables two special updates when DSE
is set to 1. On the first Sunday in April the time increments from 1:59:59 AM to 3:00:00 AM. On the last
Sunday in October when the time first reaches 1:59:59 AM it changes to 1:00:00 AM. These special
updates do not occur when the DSE bit is a 0. This bit is not affected by internal functions or RESET .

IRQF
The Interrupt Request Flag (IRQF) bit is set to a 1 when one or more of the following are true:
PF = PIE = 1
AF = AIE = 1
UF = UIE = 1
That is, IRQF = PF • PIE + AF • AIE + UF • UIE.
Any time the IRQF bit is a 1, the IRQ pin is driven low. All flag bits are cleared after Register C is read
by the program or when the RESET pin is low.
PF
The Periodic Interrupt Flag (PF) is a read–only bit which is set to a 1 when an edge is detected on the
selected tap of the divider chain. The RS3 through RS0 bits establish the periodic rate. PF is set to a 1
independent of the state of the PIE bit. When both PF and PIE are 1s, the IRQ signal is active and will set
the IRQF bit. The PF bit is cleared by a RESET or a software read of Register C.
AF
A 1 in the Alarm Interrupt Flag (AF) bit indicates that the current time has matched the alarm time. If the
AIE bit is also a 1, the IRQ pin will go low and a 1 will appear in the IRQF bit. A RESET or a read of
Register C will clear AF.
UF
The Update Ended Interrupt Flag (UF) bit is set after each update cycle. When the UIE bit is set to 1, the
one in UF causes the IRQF bit to be a 1, which will assert the IRQ pin. UF is cleared by reading Register
C or a RESET .
BIT 0 THROUGH BIT 3
These are unused bits of the status Register C. These bits always read 0 and cannot be written.

VRT
The Valid RAM and Time (VRT) bit is set to the 1 state by Dallas Semiconductor prior to shipment. This
bit is not writable and should always be a 1 when read. If a 0 is ever present, an exhausted internal lithium
energy source is indicated and both the contents of the RTC data and RAM data are questionable. This bit
is unaffected by RESET .
BIT 6 THROUGH BIT 0
The remaining bits of Register D are not usable. They cannot be written and, when read, they will always
read 0.

4.
All voltages are referenced to ground.
All outputs are open.
The MOT pin has an internal pulldown of 20 KΩ.
Applies to the AD0–AD7 pins, the IRQ pin, and the SQW pin when each is in the high impedance
state.
5. The IRQ pin is open drain.
6. Measured with a load as shown in Figure 4.
7. Real time clock modules can be successfully processed through conventional wave–soldering
techniques as long as temperature exposure to the lithium energy source contained within does not
exceed +85°C. However, post-solder cleaning with water washing techniques is acceptable, provided
that ultrasonic vibration is not used to prevent damage to the crystal.
