Incoming power is monitored for an out-of-tolerance condition. When such a condition is detected, chip enable outputs are inhibited to accomplish write protection and the battery is switched on to supply the SRAMs with uninterrupted power. Special circuitry uses a low-leakage CMOS process which affords precise voltage detection at extremely low battery consumption. One DS1321 can support as many as four SRAMs arranged in any of three memory configurations. In addition to battery-backup support, the DS1321 performs the important function of monitoring the remaining capacity of the lithium battery and providing a warning before the battery reaches end-of-life. Because the open-circuit voltage of a lithium backup battery remains relatively constant over the majority of its life, accurate battery monitoring requires loaded-battery voltage measurement. The DS1321 performs such measurement by periodically comparing the voltage of the battery as it supports an internal resistive load with a carefully selected reference voltage. If the battery voltage falls below the reference voltage under such conditions, the battery will soon reach end-of-life. As a result, the Battery Warning pin is activated to signal the need for battery replacement. MEMORY BACKUP The DS1321 performs all the circuit functions required to provide battery-backup for as many as four SRAMs. First, the device provides a switch to direct power from the battery or the system power supply (VCCI). Whenever VCCI is less than the VCCTP trip point and VCCI is less than the battery voltage VBAT, the battery is switched in to provide backup power to the SRAM. This switch has voltage drop of less than 0.2 volts. Second, the DS1321 handles power failure detection and SRAM write-protection. VCCI is constantly monitored, and when the supply goes out of tolerance, a precision comparator detects power failure and inhibits the four chip enable outputs in order to write-protect the SRAMs. This is accomplished by holding CEO1 through CEO4 to within 0.2 volts of VCCO when VCCI is out of tolerance. If any CEI is active (low) at the time that power failure is detected, the corresponding CEO signal is kept low until the CEI signal is brought high again. Once the CEI signal is brought high, the CEO signal is taken high and held high until after VCCI has returned to its nominal voltage level. If the CEI signal is not brought high by 1.5 µs after power failure is detected, the corresponding CEO is forced high at that time. This specific scheme for delaying write protection for up to 1.5 µs guarantees that any memory access in progress when power failure occurs will complete properly. Power failure detection occurs in the range of 4.75 to 4.5 volts (5% tolerance) when the TOL pin is wired to GND or in the range of 4.5 to 4.25 volts (10% tolerance) when TOL is connected to VCCO. 2 of 12 DS1321 MEMORY CONFIGURATIONS The DS1321 can be configured via the MODE pin for three different arrangements of the four attached SRAMs. The state of the MODE pin is latched at VCCI = VCCTP on power up. See Figure 1 for details. MEMORY CONFIGURATIONS Figure 1 MODE = GND (4 BANKS WITH 1 SRAM EACH): MODE = VCCO (2 BANKS WITH 2 SRAM EACH): MODE FLOATING (1 BANK WITH 4 SRAMs): 3 of 12 DS1321 BATTERY VOLTAGE MONITORING The DS1321 automatically performs periodic battery voltage monitoring at a factory-programmed time interval of 24 hours. Such monitoring begins within tREC after VCCI rises above VCCTP and is suspended when power failure occurs. After each 24-hour period (tBTCN) has elapsed, the DS1321 connects VBAT to an internal 1 MΩ=test resistor (RINT) for one second (tBTPW). During this one second, if VBAT falls below the factoryprogrammed battery voltage trip point (VBTP), the battery warning output BW is asserted. While BW is active, battery testing will be performed with period tBTCW to detect battery removal and replacement. Once asserted, BW remains active until the battery is physically removed and replaced by a fresh cell. The battery is still retested after each VCC power-up, however, even if BW was active on power-down. If the battery is found to be higher than VBTP during such testing, BW is deasserted and regular 24-hour testing resumes. BW has an open-drain output driver. Battery replacement following BW activation is normally done with VCCI nominal so that SRAM data is not lost. During battery replacement, the minimum time duration between old battery detachment and new battery attachment (tBDBA) must be met or BW will not deactivate following attachment of the new battery. Should BW not deactivate for this reason, the new battery can be detached for tBDBA and then reattached to clear BW . NOTE: The DS1321 cannot constantly monitor an attached battery because such monitoring would drastically reduce the life of the battery. As a result, the DS1321 only tests the battery for one second out of every 24 hours and does not monitor the battery in any way between tests. If a good battery (one that has not been previously flagged with BW ) is removed between battery tests, the DS1321 may not immediately sense the removal and may not activate BW until the next scheduled battery test. If a battery is then reattached to the DS1321, the battery may not be tested until the next scheduled test. NOTE: Battery monitoring is only a useful technique when testing can be done regularly over the entire life of a lithium battery. Because the DS1321 only performs battery monitoring when VCC is nominal, systems which are powered-down for excessively long periods can completely drain their lithium cells without receiving any advanced warning. To prevent such an occurrence, systems using the DS1321 battery monitoring feature should be powered-up periodically (at least once every few months) in order to perform battery testing. Furthermore, anytime BW is activated on the first battery test after a power-up, data integrity should be checked via checksum or other technique. POWER MONITORING The DS1321 automatically detects out-of-tolerance power supply conditions and warns a processor-based system of impending power failure. When VCCI falls below the trip point level defined by the TOL pin (VCCTP), the VCCI comparator activates the reset signal RST . Reset occurs in the range of 4.75 to 4.5 volts (5% tolerance) when the TOL pin is connected to GND or in the range of 4.5 to 4.25 volts (10% tolerance) when TOL is connected to VCCO. RST also serves as a power-on reset during power-up. After VCCI exceeds VCCTP, RST will be held active for 200 ms nominal (tRPU). This reset period is sufficiently long to prevent system operation during power-on transients and to allow tREC to expire. RST has an open-drain output driver. 4 of 12 DS1321 FRESHNESS SEAL MODE When the battery is first attached to the DS1321 without VCC power applied, the device does not immediately provide battery-backup power on VCCO. Only after VCCI exceeds VCCTP and later falls below both VCCTP and VBAT will the DS1321 leave Freshness Seal Mode and provide battery-backup power. This mode allows a battery to be attached during manufacturing but not used until after the system has been activated for the first time. As a result, no battery energy is drained during storage and shipping.
