CDP1879,
CDP1879C-1
CMOS Real-Time Clock
March 1997
Features
Description
• CPU Interface for Use with General-Purpose
Microprocessors
The CDP1879 real-time clock supplies time and calendar information
from seconds to months in BCD format. It consists of 5 separately
addressable and programmable counters that divide down an oscillator
input. The clock input can have any one of 4 possible frequencies,
allowing flexibility in the choice of crystal or external clock sources.
Using an external 32kHz clock source, timekeeping can be performed
down to 2.5V (see Standby (Timekeeping) Voltage Operation).
The device can be memory-mapped for use with any general-purpose
microprocessor and has the additional capability of operating in the
CDP1800 series input/output mode.
The real-time clock functions as a time-of-day/calendar with an alarm
capability that can be set for combinations of seconds, minutes or
hours. Alarm time is configured by loading alarm latches that activate
an interrupt output through a comparator when the counter and alarm
latch values are equal.
Fifteen selectable square-wave signals are available as a separate
clock output signal and can also activate the interrupt output. A status
register is available to indicate the interrupt source. The value in an 8 bit
control register determines the operational characteristics of the device,
by selecting the prescaler divisor and the clock output, and controls the
load and alarm functions.
A transparent “freeze” circuit preclude clock rollover during counter and
latch access times to assure stable and accurate values in the counters
and alarm latches.

General Operation
The real-time clock contains seconds, minutes, and hours,
date and month counters that hold time of day/calendar
information (see Figure 2). The frequency of an intrinsic
oscillator is divided down to supply a once-a-second signal
to the counter series string. The counters are separately
addressable and can be written to or read from.
The real-time clock contains seconds, minutes and hour
write-only alarm latches that store the alarm time (see Figure 3). When the value of the alarm latches and counters are
equal, the interrupt output is activated. The interrupt output
can also be activated by a clock output transition. The clock
output is derived from the prescaler and counters and can
be one of 15 square-wave signals. The value in the readonly interrupt status register identifies the interrupt source.
Operational control of the real-time clock is determined by
the byte in a write-only control register. The 8-bit value in this
register determines the correct divisor for the prescaler, a
data direction and alarm enable bit, clock output select, and
start/stop control (see Figure 4).
Data transfer and addressing are accomplished in two
modes of operation, memory mapping and I/O mapping
using the CDP1800-series microprocessors. The mode is
selected by the level on an input pin. (IO/MEM). Memory
mapping implies use of the address lines as chip selects and
address inputs during linear selection or partial or full decoding methods. I/O mapping with the CDP1800-series microprocessors involves use of the N line outputs in conjunction
with input and output instructions to transfer data to and from
memory.

Operational Sequence
Power is applied and the real-time clock is reset. This sets
the interrupt output pin high. After the CS pin is set high and
with address 7 on the address input lines, the control register
is loaded via the data bus to configure the clock.
With selective addressing, the seconds through month
counters are then written to and loaded to set the current time.
The real-time clock will now hold the current “wall clock” time,
with an accuracy determined by the crystal or external clock
used. If the alarm function is desired, the control register is
accessed and loaded again. This new byte will allow subsequent time data to be entered into the seconds, minutes and
hours alarm latches. This sequence is also used when selecting one of the 15 available clock-out signals.
If the alarm function was selected, the interrupt output pin
will be set low when the values in the seconds, minutes and
hour alarm latches match those in the seconds, minutes and
hour counters.
If one of the 15 sub second-to-day clock outputs is selected
by the byte in the control register, the clock output pin toggles at that frequency (50% duty cycle) The interrupt output
will also be set low on the first clock out negative transition.
The interrupt source (alarm or clock out) can be determined
by reading the interrupt status register. The clock output can
be deselected by placing zero in the upper nibble of the control register if the alarm function is selected as the only interrupt source.
Counters
The counter section consists of an on-board oscillator, a
prescaler and 5 counters that hold the time of day/calendar
information (see Figure 2).
1 of 4 possible external crystals determine the frequency of the
on-board oscillator (32,768Hz, 1.048576MHz, 2.097152MHz,
4.194304MHz). The oscillator output is divided down by a pres-
4-111
CDP1879, CDP1879C-1
caler that supplies a once-a-second pulse to the counters. The
seconds counter divide the pulse by 60 and its output clocks
the minute counter every 60 seconds Further division by the
minutes, hours, day of month and month counters result in 5
counters holding data that reflect the time/calendar from seconds to months. The counters are addressed separately and
BCD data is transferred to and from via the data bus. The most
significant bit of the hours counter (Bit 7) is user programmed to
indicate AM or PM and will be inverted every 12th hour. (0=AM,
1=PM). Bit 6 of the hours counter is user programmed to
enable the hours counter for 12 or 24 hour operation.
(0=24,1=12). If 24-hour operation is selected, the AM-PM bit is
“don't care”, but still toggles every 12th hour. Writing to the seconds counter resets the last 7 stages of the prescaler, allowing
time accuracy to approximately 1/100 of a second.

The most significant bit of the month counter is a Leap Year
bit. If it is set to “1”, the counter will count to February 29,
then roll to March 1. If set to “0” it will go to March 1st after
February 28th.
Alarm And Interrupt Status Register
The alarm circuit consists of 1) seconds, minutes and hour
alarm latches that hold the alarm time, 2) the outputs of the
seconds, minutes and hour counters, and 3) a comparator
that drives an interrupt output. The comparator senses the
counter and alarm latch values and activates the interrupt
output (active low) when they are equal (see Figure 3).
The write-only alarm latches have the same addresses as
their comparable counters. Bit 3 in the control register determines data direction to the latches or counters and alarm
enabling. For example, during a write cycle, if bit-3 in the
control register is a “1”, addressing the seconds counter or
alarm latch will load the seconds alarm latch from the data
bus and will enable the alarm function. Conversely, if bit-3 in
the control register is a “0”, addressing the seconds counter
or alarm latch during a write cycle will place the value on the
data bus into the seconds counter and will disable the alarm
function. The interrupt output can be activated by the alarm
circuit or the clock output. When an interrupt occurs, the
4-112
CDP1879, CDP1879C-1
upper two bits of the interrupt status register identify the
interrupt source. The interrupt status register has the same
address as the control register. Addressing the interrupt status register with the RD line active will place these register
bits on the data bus. Bits 0-5 are held low. A “1” in bit-6 represents a clock output transition as the interrupt source. A
“1” in bit-7 will identify the alarm circuit as the interrupt
source.
Activating the reset pin (active low) resets the hour latch to
“30” which prevents a match between alarm and time registers during an initialization procedure. Activating the reset
pin or writing to the control register resets the interrupt output (high) and clears the interrupt status register
Clock Output
One of 15 counter and prescaler overflows can be selected
as a 50% duty cycle output signal that is available at the
“clock out” pin. The frequency is selected by the upper nibble
in the control register. For example, selecting a one-second
clock output will result in a repetitive signal that will be high
for 500ms and low for the same period. The high-to-low transition of the output signal will set the clock bit in the status
register and activate the interrupt output. The level of the
“clock out” signal is derived from the value in the counter.
Example - if hours clock is selected and the minutes counter
holds 4 minutes, the clock out will be low for 26 minutes and
high for 30 minutes Thereafter, the clock out will toggle at a
50% duty cycle rate (see Table 1 and Figure 3).

The 8-bit value in the control register determines the following:

the counter series string.

1) A “0” in bit-3 will direct subsequent data to or from
the counter selected and the alarm function will be
disabled.
2) A “1” in bit-3 will direct subsequent data to or from
the alarm latch and will enable the alarm.
4. Bits 4 to 7 - Clock Select - These bits select one of 15
square-wave signals that will be present at the “clockout” pin. If bit-4 to bit-7 are zero's, the clock output pin will
be high. If a clock is selected, the first high-to-low clock
out transition will activate the interrupt pin (active low) and
place a “1” in bit-6 of the status register. Writing to the
control register or activating the reset pin will set the interrupt pin high and reset the interrupt status register.
Normal operation requires the control register to be written
to and loaded first with a control word. However, subsequent
writing to a counter if a “clock out” is selected may cause an
interrupt out signal. Therefore, “clock-out” should be deselected by writing zero's into bit-4 through bit-7 if the interrupt
is used. When the counters are loaded, the control register
is again written to with the value in the upper nibble selecting
the “clock out” signal. See Table 1.
Read And Write Signals
When the IO/MEM pin is low, the real-time clock is enabled
for memory mapped operation. Data on the bus is placed in,
or read from a counter, alarm latch or register by 1) placing
the CS pin high, 2) selective addressing, 3) placing the
TPB/WR pin low during a write cycle with the RD pin high or
4) setting the RD pin low during a read cycle with this
TPB/WR pin high.
The I/O mapping mode used with the CDP1800 series
microprocessor is selected by setting the IO/MEM pin high.
The TPB/WR pin on the real-time clock is connected to the
TPB output pin of the microprocessor. Data on that bus is
written to or read from the counters, latches and registers by
1) placing the CS pin high, 2) selective addressing utilizing
the microprocessor N lines and I/O instructions, 3) placing
the TPB/WR pin high with the RD pin low during an output or
write operation (data is latched on TPB's trailing edge), 4)
setting the RD line high during an input or read operation.
Data is placed on the bus by the real-time clock between the
trailing edges of TPA and TPB.
Freeze Circuit
2. Bit 2 - Start-Stop Control - Counter enabling is controlled
by the value at this location. A “1” will allow the counters
to function and a “0” in this location will disable the
counters.
3 Bit 3 - Counter/Latch Control - The level at this location
controls two functions. It is required since the counters
and alarm latches have the same addresses.
Since writing to or reading from the counters or alarm
latches is performed asynchronously, the once-a-second
signal from the prescaler may pulse the counter series string
during these operations. This can result in erroneous data.
To avoid this occurring, a transparent “freeze” circuit' is incorporated into the real-time clock. This circuit is designed to
trap and hold the one-second input clock transition if it
occurs during access times. When the operations are completed, it is inserted into the counter series string. To utilize
the “freeze” circuit, address “1” (A0 = 1, A1 = 0, A2 = 0) is
selected first while performing a write operation. Read or
write accesses may now be performed with assurance the
data is stable. All operations must be concluded within
4-113
CDP1879, CDP1879C-1
250ms of the address “1” access. In memory mapping any
dummy write operation after selecting address “1” will set the
“freeze” circuit. If using the I/O mode, a 61 output instruction
will perform the same function. There is no time restriction
on subsequent accesses as long as the read or write operations are preceded by selecting address “1”.

Power down operation is initiated with a low signal on the
"POWER DOWN” input pin. In conjunction with the interrupt
output, it is used to supply external control circuits with a 3
level control signal. The operating current is not appreciably
reduced during “POWER DOWN” operation. When power
down is initiated, any inputs on the address or data bus are
ignored. The clock output is set low. The interrupt output is
three-stated. If enabled previously, the alarm circuitry is
active and will set the interrupt output pin low when alarm
time occurs. The interrupt output will also go low if a clock
was selected and an internal high-to-low transition occurs
during power down. The clock output pin will remain low. If
power down is initiated in the middle of a read or write
sequence, it will not become activated until the read or write
cycle is completed.
CS - CHIP SELECT - Used to enable or disable the inputs
and outputs. TPA is used to strobe and latch a positive level
on this pin to enable the device.
Pin Functions
INT - Interrupt Output - A low on this pin indicates an active
alarm time or high-to-low transition of the “clock out” signal.
VDD, VSS - Power and ground for device.
XTAL AND XTAL - The frequency of the internal oscillator is
determined by the value of the crystal connected to these
pins. “XTAL” may be driven directly by an external frequency
source.
Clock Out - 1 of 15 square wave frequencies will appear at
this pin when selected. During power down, this pin will be
placed low, and will be high during normal operation when
the clock is deselected.
Power Down - Power Down Control - A low on this pin will
place the device in the power down mode.
RESET - A low on this pin clears the status register and
places the interrupt output pin high.
DB0 - DB7 - DATA BUS - 8-bit bidirectional bus that transfers BCD data to and from the counters, latches and registers.
Frequency Input Requirements
A0, A1, A2 - Address inputs that select a counter, latch or
register to read from or write to.
The Real-Time Clock operates with the following frequency
input sources:
TPA - Strobe input used to latch the value on the chip select
pin. CS is latched on the trailing edge of TPA. During memory mapping, it is used to latch the high order address bit
used for the chip select. When the real-time clock is used
with other microprocessors, or when the high order address
of the CDP1800 series microprocessor is externally latched,
it is connected to VDD . In the input/output mode, it is used to
gate the N lines.
1. An external crystal that is used with the on-board oscillator. The oscillator is biased by a large feedback resistor
and oscillates at the crystal frequency (see Figure 6,
Table 3).
IO/MEM - Tied low during memory mapping and high when
the input/output mode of the CDP1800 series microprocessor is used.
2. An external frequency input that is supplied at the XTAL
input. XTAL is left open (see Figure 5). A typical external
oscillator circuit is shown in Figure 7 in section, “Standby
(Timekeeping) Voltage Operation”.
RD, TPB/WR - Direction Signals - Active signals that determine data direction flow. In the memory mapped mode, data
is placed on the bus from the counters or status register
when RD pin is active.
Data is transferred to a counter, latch or the control register
when RD is high and TPB/WR is active and latched on the
trailing edge (low to high) of the TPB/WR signal.
In the input/output mode, data is placed on the bus from a
counter or status register when RD is not active between the
trailing edges of TPA and TPB. Data on the bus is written to a
counter, latch, or the control register during TPB when RD is
active and latched on TPB's trailing edge. The following connections are required between the microprocessor and realtime clock in the CDP1800 series I/O mode.

Applications
A typical application for this real-time clock is as a wake-up
control to a CPU to reduce total system power in intermittent-use systems. A hookup diagram illustrating this feature
is shown in Figure 10. In this configuration, the alarm and
power-down features of the CDP1879 are utilized in the control of the sleep and wake-up states of the CPU. A typical
shut-down/start-up sequence for this system could proceed
as follows:
1. The CPU has finished a current task and will be inactive
for the next six hours.
2. The CPU loads the CDP1879 alarm registers with the
desired wake-up time.
4. This Q output signal is received by the CDP1879 as a
power-down signal.
5. The CDP1879 three-states the interrupt output pin.
6. The CDP1879 eventually times out, and sets an alarm by
driving the INT output low.
7. The alarm signal resets the CPU (to avoid oscillator startup problems) and flags the processor for a warm-start
routine.
8. The CPU, once into its normal software sequence, writes
to the CDP1879 control register to reset the interrupt
request.
3. The CDP1800 Q output is set high, which stops the CPU
oscillator (as an alternative, in an NMOS system, power
to all components except the clock chip could be shut off).
