General Description
The ISL1221 device is a low power Real Time Clock with
Security and Event function, Time Stamp in both normal and
battery modes, timing and crystal compensation,
clock/calendar, power fail indicator, periodic or polled alarm,
intelligent battery backup switching, and battery-backed user
SRAM.
The Event Detection function can be used for tamper
detection, security or other chassis or generic system
monitoring. Upon a valid event detection, the ISL1221 sets
the Event Detection bit (EVT bit) in the status register, stores
time stamp information on board memory, and, can
optionally: 1) Issue an Event Output signal (EVDET pin), 2)
At the time the event occurred, stop the RTC registers from
advancing. The event monitor and time stamp functions in
both main VDD and battery back up modes. The event
monitor can also be configured for various input detection
rates to optimize power consumption for the application. In
addition, the Event Monitor pin (EVIN) has a selectable glitch
filter to avoid switch de-bouncing.

registers for date, month, year and day of the week. The
calendar is accurate through 2099, with automatic leap year
correction.
The ISL1221's alarm can be set to any clock/calendar value
for a match. For example, every minute, every Tuesday or at
5:23 AM on March 21. The alarm status is available by
checking the Status Register, or the device can be
configured to provide a hardware interrupt via the IRQ pin.
There is a repeat mode for the alarm allowing a periodic
interrupt every minute, every hour, every day, etc.
The device also offers a backup power input pin. This VBAT
pin allows the device to be backed up by battery or
SuperCap with automatic switchover from VDD to VBAT. The
entire ISL1221 device is fully operational from VDD = 2.7V to
5.5V and the clock/calendar portion of the device remains
fully operational in battery backup mode down to 1.8V
(Standby Mode).
Pin Description
X1, X2
The X1 and X2 pins are the input and output, respectively, of
an inverting amplifier. An external 32.768kHz quartz crystal
is used with the ISL1221 to supply a timebase for the real
time clock. Internal compensation circuitry provides high
accuracy over the operating temperature range from
-40°C to +85°C. This oscillator compensation network can
be used to calibrate the crystal timing accuracy over
temperature either during manufacturing or with an external
temperature sensor and microcontroller for active
compensation. The device can also be driven directly from a
32.768kHz source at pin X1.
The oscillator uses an external, low-cost 32.768kHz crystal.
The real time clock tracks time with separate registers for
hours, minutes, and seconds. The device has calendar

with other open drain or open collector outputs. The input
buffer is always active (not gated) in normal mode.
X1
X2
FIGURE 10. RECOMMENDED CRYSTAL CONNECTION
VBAT
This input provides a backup supply voltage to the device.
VBAT supplies power to the device in the event that the VDD
supply fails. This pin can be connected to a battery, a Super
Cap or tied to ground if not used.
An open drain output requires the use of a pull-up resistor.
The output circuitry controls the fall time of the output signal
with the use of a slope controlled pull-down. The circuit is
designed for 400kHz I2C interface speeds. It is disabled
when the backup power supply on the VBAT pin is activated.
VDD, GND
Chip power supply and ground pins. The device will operate
with a power supply from VDD=2.7V to 5.5VDC. A 0.1µF
capacitor is recommended on the VDD pin to ground.
Functional Description
EVIN (Event Input)
The EVIN pin is an input that is used to detect an externally
monitored event. When a high signal is present at the EVIN
pin, an “event” is detected. This input may be used for
various monitoring functions, such as the opening of a
detection switch on a chassis or door. The event detection
circuit can be user enabled or disabled (see EVEN bit) and
provides the option to be operational in battery backup
modes (see EVBATB bit). When the event detection is
disabled the EVIN pin is gated OFF. See“Functional
Description” on page 8 for more details.
FOUT (Frequency Output)
The FOUT pin outputs a clock signal which is related to the
crystal frequency. The frequency output is user selectable
and enabled via the I2C bus. It is an open drain active low
output. When not used, the output is high.
Power Control Operation
The power control circuit accepts a VDD and a VBAT input.
Many types of batteries can be used with Intersil RTC
products. For example, 3.0V or 3.6V Lithium batteries are
appropriate, and battery sizes are available that can power
the ISL1221 for up to 10 years. Another option is to use a
Super Cap for applications where VDD is interrupted for up
to a month. See the “Application Section” on page 20 for
more information.
Normal Mode (VDD) to Battery Backup Mode
(VBAT)
To transition from the VDD to VBAT mode, both of the
following conditions must be met:
IRQ/EVDET (Alarm/Event Detect Output)
Condition 1:
VDD < VBAT - VBATHYS
where VBATHYS ≈ 50mV
This dual function pin can be used as an interrupt alarm or
event detect output pin. Checking the status register will
show the type of interrupt, Alarm or Event Detect.
Condition 2:
VDD < VTRIP
where VTRIP ≈ 2.2V
• Interrupt Mode. The pin provides an interrupt signal
output. This signal notifies a host processor that an alarm
has occurred and requests action. It is an open drain
active low output.
Battery Backup Mode (VBAT) to Normal Mode
(VDD)
• The output will go low when an event is detected at the
EVIN pin. If the event detection function is enabled, the
IRQ/EVDET output will go low and stay low until the EVT
bit is cleared (see the EVIN pin description in the “Pin
Description” on page 7).
Serial Clock (SCL)
The SCL input is used to clock all serial data into and out of
the device. The input buffer on this pin is always active (not
gated). It is disabled when the backup power supply on the
VBAT pin is activated to minimize power consumption.
The ISL1221 device will switch from the VBAT to VDD mode
when one of the following conditions occurs:

battery of VBAT = 3V, Low Power Mode can be used.
However, it is not recommended to use Low Power Mode in
a system with VDD = 3.3V ±10%, VBAT ≥ 3.0V, and when
there is a finite I-R voltage drop in the VDD line.

The I2C bus is deactivated in battery backup mode to provide
lower power. Aside from this, all RTC functions are
operational during battery backup mode. Except for SCL and
SDA, all the inputs and outputs of the ISL1221 are active
during battery backup mode unless disabled via the control
register. The User SRAM is operational in battery backup
mode down to 1.8V.
Power Failure Detection
The ISL1221 provides a Real Time Clock Failure Bit (RTCF)
to detect total power failure. It allows users to determine if
the device has powered up after having lost all power to the
device (both VDD and VBAT).
Low Power Mode
The normal power switching of the ISL1221 is designed to
switch into battery backup mode only if the VDD power is
lost. This will ensure that the device can accept a wide range
of backup voltages from many types of sources while reliably
switching into backup mode. Another mode, called Low
Power Mode, is available to allow direct switching from VDD
to VBAT without requiring VDD to drop below VTRIP. Since
the additional monitoring of VDD vs. VTRIP is no longer
needed, that circuitry is shut down and less power is used
while operating from VDD. Power savings are typically
600nA at VDD = 5V. Low Power Mode is activated via the
LPMODE bit in the control and status registers.
The ISL1221 has the InterSeal™ Battery Saver which
prevents initial battery current drain before it is first used. For
example, battery-backed RTCs are commonly packaged on
a board with a battery connected. In order to preserve
battery life, the ISL1221 will not draw any power from the
battery source until after the device is first powered up from
the VDD source. Thereafter, the device will switchover to
battery backup mode whenever VDD power is lost.
Event/Tamper Monitor and Detection
The ISL1221 provides an event detection, time stamp and
alarm function to be used in a wide variety of applications
ranging from security, warranty monitoring, data collection
and recording.
The tamper detect input pin, EVIN, can be used as a event
or tamper detection input of an external switch (mechanical
or electronic). When the EVIN pin is a valid HIGH, the
ISL1221 sets the EVT bit in the status register and, can
optionally:
1. Issue an Event output signal (EVDET pin) and store time
stamp information in on board SRAM (second, minute,
hour, date, month and year)
2. At the time event occurred, stop the RTC registers from
advancing.
To allow for flexibility of external switches used at the EVIN
pin, the internal pull-up (~1µA in full on mode) can be
disabled/enabled. This will allow more flexibility depending
on the capacitive and resistive loading at the EVIN pin.
A noise filter option is also provided for the event monitor
circuit. The EVIN pin has a time based filter where the EVIN
signal must be stable for a period of time to trigger a valid
detection. The time hysteresis filter can vary from 0, 3.9ms,
15.2ms or 31.25ms.
For low power applications the event monitor can be
sampled at a user selectable rate. The EVIN pin can be
always ON or periodically sampled with a frequency of 1/4, 1
or 2Hz.
Low Power Mode is useful in systems where VDD is normally
higher than VBAT at all times. The device will switch from
VDD to VBAT when VDD drops below VBAT, with about 50mV
of hysteresis to prevent any switchback of VDD after

The EVIN also has a user selectable time based hysteresis

The Real Time Clock (RTC) uses an external 32.768kHz
quartz crystal to maintain an accurate internal representation
of second, minute, hour, day of week, date, month, and year.
The RTC also has leap-year correction. The clock also
corrects for months having fewer than 31 days and has a bit
that controls 24 hour or AM/PM format. When the ISL1221
powers up after the loss of both VDD and VBAT, the clock will
not begin incrementing until at least one byte is written to the
clock register.
FN6316.1
July 15, 2010
ISL1221
Accuracy of the Real Time Clock
I2C Serial Interface
The accuracy of the Real Time Clock depends on the
frequency of the quartz crystal that is used as the time base
for the RTC. Since the resonant frequency of a crystal is
temperature dependent, the RTC performance will also be
dependent upon temperature. The frequency deviation of
the crystal is a function of the turnover temperature of the
crystal from the crystal’s nominal frequency. For example, a
~20ppm frequency deviation translates into an accuracy of
~1 minute per month. These parameters are available from
the crystal manufacturer. The ISL1221 provides on-chip
crystal compensation networks to adjust load capacitance to
tune oscillator frequency from -94ppm to +140ppm. For
more detailed information see the “Application Section” on
page 20.
The ISL1221 has an I2C serial bus interface that provides
access to the control and status registers and the user
SRAM. The I2C serial interface is compatible with other
industry I2C serial bus protocols using a bidirectional data
signal (SDA) and a clock signal (SCL).
Single Event and Interrupt
The alarm mode is enabled via the ALME bit. Choosing
single event or interrupt alarm mode is selected via the IM
bit. Note that when the frequency output function is enabled,
the alarm function is disabled.
The standard alarm allows for alarms of time, date, day of
the week, month, and year. When a time alarm occurs in
single event mode, an IRQ/EVDET pin will be pulled low
and the alarm status bit (ALM) will be set to “1”.
The pulsed interrupt mode allows for repetitive or recurring
alarm functionality. Hence, once the alarm is set, the device
will continue to alarm for each occurring match of the alarm
and present time. Thus, it will alarm as often as every minute
(if only the nth second is set) or as infrequently as once a
year (if at least the nth month is set). During pulsed interrupt
mode, the IRQ/EVDET pin will be pulled low for 250ms and
the alarm status bit (ALM) will be set to “1”.
The ALM bit can be reset by the user or cleared
automatically using the auto reset mode (see “Auto Reset
Enable Bit (ARST)” on page 14).
The alarm function can be enabled/disabled during battery
backup mode using the FOBATB bit. For more information
on the alarm, please see the “Alarm Registers” on page 16.
Frequency Output Mode
The ISL1221 has the option to provide a frequency output
signal using the FOUT pin. The frequency output mode is set
by using the FO bits to select 15 possible output frequency
values from 0 to 32kHz. The frequency output can be
enabled/disabled during battery backup mode using the
FOBATB bit.
General Purpose User SRAM
The ISL1221 provides 2 bytes of user SRAM. The SRAM will
continue to operate in battery backup mode. However, it
should be noted that the I2C bus is disabled in battery
backup mode.
11
Oscillator Compensation
The ISL1221 provides the option of timing correction due to
temperature variation of the crystal oscillator for either
manufacturing calibration or active calibration. The total
possible compensation is typically -94ppm to +140ppm. Two
compensation mechanisms that are available are as follows:
1. An analog trimming (ATR) register that can be used to
adjust individual on-chip digital capacitors for oscillator
capacitance trimming. The individual digital capacitor is
selectable from a range of 9pF to 40.5pF (based upon
32.758kHz). This translates to a calculated
compensation of approximately -34ppm to +80ppm. (see
“Analog Trimming Register” on page 15).
2. A digital trimming register (DTR) that can be used to
adjust the timing counter by ±60ppm. (see “Digital
Trimming Register (DTR <2:0>)” on page 16).
Also provided is the ability to adjust the crystal capacitance
when the ISL1221 switches from VDD to battery backup
mode. (see “Battery Mode ATR Selection (BMATR <1:0>)”
on page 16 for more details).
Register Descriptions
The battery-backed registers are accessible following a
slave byte of “1101111x” and reads or writes to addresses
[00h:19h]. The defined addresses and default values are
described in the Table 1. Address 09h is not used. Reads or
writes to 09h will not affect operation of the device but should
be avoided.
REGISTER ACCESS
The contents of the registers can be modified by performing
a byte or a page write operation directly to any register
address.
The registers are divided into 5 sections. These are:
1. Real Time Clock (7 bytes): Address 00h to 06h.
2. Control and Status (5 bytes): Address 07h to 0Bh.
3. Alarm (6 bytes): Address 0Ch to 11h.
4. User SRAM (2 bytes): Address 12h to 13h.
5. Time Stamp (6 bytes): Address 14h to 19h
There are no addresses above 19h.
Write capability is allowable into the RTC registers (00h to
06h) only when the WRTC bit (bit 4 of address 07h) is set to
“1”. A multi-byte read or write operation is limited to one
section per operation. Access to another section requires a
new operation. A read or write can begin at any address
within the section.
FN6316.1
July 15, 2010
ISL1221
It is not necessary to set the WRTC bit prior to writing into
the control and status, alarm, and user SRAM registers.
A register can be read by performing a random read at any
address at any time. This returns the contents of that register
location. Additional registers are read by performing a
sequential read. For the RTC and Alarm registers, the read
instruction latches all clock registers into a buffer, so an
update of the clock does not change the time being read. A
sequential read will not result in the output of data from the
memory array. At the end of a read, the master supplies a
stop condition to end the operation and free the bus. After a
read, the address remains at the previous address +1 so the
user can execute a current address read and continue
reading the next register.

RTCF bit to “1”. The first valid write to the RTC section after
a complete power failure resets the RTCF bit to “0” (writing
one byte is sufficient).
RTC REGISTERS (SC, MN, HR, DT, MO, YR, DW)
BATTERY BIT (BAT)
These registers depict BCD representations of the time. As
such, SC (Seconds) and MN (Minutes) range from 0 to 59,
HR (Hour) can either be a 12-hour or 24-hour mode, DT
(Date) is 1 to 31, MO (Month) is 1 to 12, YR (Year) is 0 to 99,
and DW (Day of the Week) is 0 to 6.
This bit is set to a “1” when the device enters battery backup
mode. This bit can be reset either manually by the user or
automatically reset by enabling the auto-reset bit (see “Auto
Reset Enable Bit (ARST)” on page 14). A write to this bit in
the SR can only set it to “0”, not “1”.
The DW register provides a Day of the Week status and uses
three bits DW2 to DW0 to represent the seven days of the
week. The counter advances in the cycle 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-0-12-… The assignment of a numerical value to a specific day
of the week is arbitrary and may be decided by the system
software designer. The default value is defined as “0”.
ALARM BIT (ALM)
24 HOUR TIME
If the MIL bit of the HR register is “1”, the RTC uses a
24-hour format. If the MIL bit is “0”, the RTC uses a 12-hour
format and HR21 bit functions as an AM/PM indicator with a
“1” representing PM. The clock defaults to 12-hour format
time with HR21 = “0”.
LEAP YEARS
Leap years add the day February 29 and are defined as those
years that are divisible by 4. Years divisible by 100 are not leap
years, unless they are also divisible by 400. This means that
the year 2000 is a leap year, the year 2100 is not. The ISL1221
does not correct for the leap year in the year 2100.
Control and Status Registers
Addresses [07h to 0Bh]
The Control and Status Registers consist of the Status
Register, Interrupt and Alarm Register, Analog Trimming and
Digital Trimming Registers.
Status Register (SR)
The Status Register is located in the memory map at
address 07h. This is a volatile register that provides either
control or status of RTC failure, battery mode, alarm trigger,
event detection, write protection of clock counter, crystal
oscillator enable and auto reset of status bits.

REAL TIME CLOCK FAIL BIT (RTCF)
This bit is set to a “1” after a total power failure. This is a read
only bit that is set by hardware (ISL1221 internally) when the
device powers up after having lost all power to the device.
The bit is set regardless of whether VDD or VBAT is applied
first. The loss of only one of the supplies does not set the
13
These bits announce if the alarm matches the real time
clock. If there is a match, the respective bit is set to “1”. This
bit can be manually reset to “0” by the user or automatically
reset by enabling the auto-reset bit (see ARST bit). A write to
this bit in the SR can only set it to “0”, not “1”.
NOTE: An alarm bit that is set by an alarm occurring during an SR
read operation will remain set after the read operation is complete.
EVENT DETECT BIT (EVT)
The event detect bit indicates status of the event input pin
(EVIN). When the Event Detect function is enabled and the
EVIN pin is triggered, the EVT bit is set to “1” to indicate a
detection of an event, and the Time Stamp Register records
the current RTC time. A write to this bit in the SR can only
set it to “0” not “1”.
When a HIGH signal is present at the EVIN pin (or a LOW to
HIGH transition), an “event” is detected. On detection the
EVT bit is set HIGH, the open drain EVDET pin is asserted
(pulled LOW), and the RTC time is recorded in the Time
Stamp registers. The EVT bit will be reset to LOW:
• When the EVT bit is set to 0 with a Status Register write
• When there is a read from the Status Register, with the
ARST bit set to “1” (auto-reset enabled).
If the EVT bit has not been cleared, only the initial (first
occurrence) Timestamp is retained in the Timestamp
register, subsequent triggers of the EVIN pin will not record
new timestamps. If the EVT bit is cleared to “0”, the
Timestamp register will record the time of the next event
went the EVIN pin is triggered.
WRITE RTC ENABLE BIT (WRTC)
The WRTC bit enables or disables write capability into the
RTC Timing Registers. The factory default setting of this bit
is “0”. Upon initialization or power up, the WRTC must be set
to “1” to enable the RTC. Upon the completion of a valid
write (STOP), the RTC starts counting. The RTC internal
1Hz signal is synchronized to the STOP condition during a
valid write cycle.
CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR ENABLE BIT (XTOSCB)
This bit enables/disables the internal crystal oscillator. When
the XTOSCB is set to “1”, the oscillator is disabled, and the

requires a pull up resistor to VBAT.
AUTO RESET ENABLE BIT (ARST)
LOW POWER MODE BIT (LPMODE)
This bit enables/disables the automatic reset of the BAT and
ALM, EVT status bits only. When ARST bit is set to “1”, these
status bits are reset to “0” after a valid read of the Status
Register (with a valid STOP condition). When the ARST is
cleared to “0”, the user must manually reset the BAT, ALM,
and EVT bits.
This bit enables/disables low power mode. With
LPMODE = “0”, the device will be in normal mode and the
VBAT supply will be used when VDD < VBAT - VBATHYS and
VDD < VTRIP. With LPMODE = “1”, the device will be in low
power mode and the VBAT supply will be used when
VDD < VBAT - VBATHYS. There is a supply current saving of
about 600nA when using LPMODE = “1” with VDD = 5V.

It should be noted that any writes to the LPMODE bit that

These bits enable/disable the frequency output function and
select the output frequency at the FOUT pin. See Table 8 for

is cleared to “0”, the alarm function is disabled. The alarm

triggered by the alarm as defined by the alarm registers (0Ch
to 11h). When the IM bit is cleared to “0”, the alarm will
operate in standard mode, where the IRQ/EVDET pin will be
tied low until the ALM status bit is cleared to “0”.

This bit enables/disables the Event Detect function of the

Event Detect and Time Stamp are disabled. Only the first
Event is Time Stamped in a series of Events between Event
resets (see EVT bit in the Status Register).
RTC HALT ON EVENT DETECT BIT (RTCHLT)
This bit sets the RTC registers to continue or halt counting
upon an Event Detect triggered by the EV pin. The time
keeping function will cease when RTCHLT is set to “1”, the
RTC will discontinue incrementing if an event is detected.
Counting will resume when there is a valid write to the RTC
registers (i.e. time set). The RTCHLT is cleared to “0” after
the write to the RTC registers.

FIGURE 13. DIAGRAM OF ATR
Six analog trimming bits, ATR0 to ATR5, are provided in
order to adjust the on-chip load capacitance value for
frequency compensation of the RTC. Each bit has a different
weight for capacitance adjustment. For example, using a
Citizen CFS-206 crystal with different ATR bit combinations
provides an estimated ppm adjustment range from -34 to
+80ppm to the nominal frequency compensation. The
combination of analog and digital trimming can give up to -94
to +140ppm of total adjustment.
The effective on-chip series load capacitance, CLOAD,
ranges from 4.5pF to 20.25pF with a mid-scale value of
12.5pF (default). CLOAD is changed via two digitally
controlled capacitors, CX1 and CX2, connected from the X1
and X2 pins to ground (see Figure 13). The value of CX1 and
CX2 is given by the following formula in Equation 1.

Note: This function requires that the event detection is
enabled (see EVEN bit).
The effective series load capacitance is the combination of
CX1 and CX2:

feature can be used to save power during battery mode.

advances, the alarm will be triggered once a match occurs
between the alarm registers and the RTC registers. Any one
alarm register, multiple registers, or all registers can be
enabled for a match.
There are two alarm operation modes: Single Event and
periodic Interrupt Mode:
• Single Event Mode is enabled by setting the ALME bit to
“1”, the IM bit to “0”, and disabling the frequency output.
This mode permits a one-time match between the alarm
registers and the RTC registers. Once this match occurs,
the ALM bit is set to “1” and the IRQ output will be pulled
low and will remain low until the ALM bit is reset. This can
be done manually or by using the auto-reset feature.
• Interrupt Mode is enabled by setting the ALME bit to “1”,
the IM bit to “1”, and disabling the frequency output. The
IRQ output will now be pulsed each time an alarm occurs.
This means that once the interrupt mode alarm is set, it
will continue to alarm for each occurring match of the
alarm and present time. This mode is convenient for
hourly or daily hardware interrupts in microcontroller
applications such as security cameras or utility meter
reading.
To clear an alarm, the ALM bit in the status register must be
set to “0” with a write. Note that if the ARST bit is set to 1
(address 07h, bit 7), the ALM bit will automatically be cleared
when the status register is read.
Following are examples of both Single Event and periodic
Interrupt Mode alarms.

User Registers

These registers are 2 bytes of battery-backed user memory

Time Stamp Registers

These registers contain the time stamp information in a similar
format to the RTC registers. When a valid Event is triggered at
the EVIN pin (low to high transition), these registers record the

Only the first Event in a series of events is time stamped, all
subsequent events are ignored. The current time stamp is
retained until the EVT bit is cleared and the next Event
occurs (EVIN pin is triggered). The contents of these
registers are cleared only after full power cycling.
I2C Serial Interface
The ISL1221 supports a bidirectional bus oriented protocol.
The protocol defines any device that sends data onto the
bus as a transmitter and the receiving device as the receiver.
The device controlling the transfer is the master and the
device being controlled is the slave. The master always
initiates data transfers and provides the clock for both
transmit and receive operations. Therefore, the ISL1221
operates as a slave device in all applications.
All communication over the I2C interface is conducted by
sending the MSB of each byte of data first.

values from the RTC registers. At the same time the EVT bit is
set and the EVDET- pin changes state (if it is enabled). The six
registers include second, minute, hour, date, month and year of
the event. Day of week is not recorded as it is not normally
required and is arbitrarily set.
Data states on the SDA line can change only during SCL
LOW periods. SDA state changes during SCL HIGH are
reserved for indicating START and STOP conditions (see
Figure 14). On power up of the ISL1221, the SDA pin is in
the input mode.
All I2C interface operations must begin with a START
condition, which is a HIGH to LOW transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH. The ISL1221 continuously monitors the SDA
and SCL lines for the START condition and does not
respond to any command until this condition is met (see
Figure 14). A START condition is ignored during the
power-up sequence.
All I2C interface operations must be terminated by a STOP
condition, which is a LOW to HIGH transition of SDA while
SCL is HIGH (see Figure 14). A STOP condition at the end
of a read operation or at the end of a write operation to
memory only places the device in its standby mode.
An acknowledge (ACK) is a software convention used to
indicate a successful data transfer. The transmitting device,
either master or slave, releases the SDA bus after
transmitting eight bits. During the ninth clock cycle, the
receiver pulls the SDA line LOW to acknowledge the
reception of the eight bits of data (see Figure 15).
The ISL1221 responds with an ACK after recognition of a
START condition followed by a valid Identification Byte, and
once again after successful receipt of an Address Byte. The
ISL1221 also responds with an ACK after receiving a Data
Byte of a write operation. The master must respond with an
ACK after receiving a Data Byte of a read operation.

Device Addressing
Write Operation
Following a start condition, the master must output a Slave
Address Byte. The 7 MSBs are the device identifier. These
bits are “1101111”. Slave bits “1101” access the register.
Slave bits “111” specify the device select bits.
A Write operation requires a START condition, followed by a
valid Identification Byte, a valid Address Byte, a Data Byte,
and a STOP condition. After each of the three bytes, the
ISL1221 responds with an ACK. At this time, the I2C
interface enters a standby state.
The last bit of the Slave Address Byte defines a read or write
operation to be performed. When this R/W bit is a “1”, then a
read operation is selected. A “0” selects a write operation
(Refer to Figure 17).
After loading the entire Slave Address Byte from the SDA
bus, the ISL1221 compares the device identifier and device
select bits with “1101111”. Upon a correct compare, the
device outputs an acknowledge on the SDA line.
Following the Slave Byte is a one byte word address. The
word address is either supplied by the master device or
obtained from an internal counter. On power up the internal
address counter is set to address 0h, so a current address
read of the CCR array starts at address 0h. When required,
as part of a random read, the master must supply the 1 Word
Address Bytes as shown in Figure 18.
In a random read operation, the slave byte in the “dummy
write” portion must match the slave byte in the “read”
section. For a random read of the Clock/Control Registers,
the slave byte must be “1101111x” in both places.

Read Operation
A Read operation consists of a three byte instruction
followed by one or more Data Bytes (See Figure 18). The
master initiates the operation issuing the following
sequence: a START, the Identification byte with the R/W bit
set to “0”, an Address Byte, a second START, and a second
Identification byte with the R/W bit set to “1”. After each of
the three bytes, the ISL1221 responds with an ACK. Then
the ISL1221 transmits Data Bytes as long as the master
responds with an ACK during the SCL cycle following the
eighth bit of each byte. The master terminates the read
operation (issuing a STOP condition) following the last bit of
the last Data Byte (See Figure 18).
The Data Bytes are from the memory location indicated by
an internal pointer. This pointer initial value is determined by
the Address Byte in the Read operation instruction, and
increments by one during transmission of each Data Byte.
After reaching the memory location 19h the pointer “rolls
over” to 00h, and the device continues to output data for
each ACK received.

Application Section
previous Timestamp contents are replaced by the time of the
next event after the EVT bit reset.
Event Detection
An additional event action available in the ISL1221 is to stop
the real time clock from advancing. If the event register is set
to enable this function (Register 09h, RTCHLT bit 5 set to 1),
then when the EVIN pin is triggered, the clock counters will
stop and hold the time of the event. This is useful for one
time occurrences such as opening a warranted consumer
product enclosure or exceeding a maximum temperature
inside a device. Once the clock is stopped, the clock
registers must be written with an updated time, then they will
begin advancing immediately. If the RTCHLT bit is still set,
then the next event will again stop the clock.
The event detection feature of the ISL1221 is intended to be
used for recording the time of single events that involve the
opening of an enclosure, door, etc. The normal method of
detection is with normally closed switch function that opens
to initiate the event. This mechanism is ideal for applications
such as set top boxes, utility meters, security alarm and
camera systems or vending machines.
A typical application diagram is shown in Figure 19. A
microcontroller communicates with the ISL1221 through the
I2C serial bus, to set up and read time of the day, alarms, or
set up the outputs frequency control.
Event Detect Input Details
The ISL1221 is capable of recording individual event
time/dates using the on-chip registers (Event Registers,
addresses 14h to 19h). Single event times are recorded and
can be read using a multiple address read, similar to reading
the RTC registers. The Event Registers record the initial
event time of a series of events, until the EVT bit is reset.
After EVT is reset, the Timestamp Registers retain the
previous event time until the next Event happens, at which
time the current RTC register contents will be placed in the
Event Registers. The Timestamp Registers cannot be
cleared, only a full power down cycle (VCC and VBAT = 0V)
will erase their contents.
The EVIN input is a Schmitt trigger logic input. An event is
detected when it is asserted high. The ISL1221 device has
internal configuration settings which add detection flexibility.
There are four configuration bits in register 09h which are for
EVIN sampling. The ESMP1 and ESMP0 bits control
sampling of the event input status. Reducing the sampling
rate will lower the supply current drain, with the tradeoff of
adding a delay in detecting an event. An event that is long in
duration (i.e. opening a door) would obviously be served well
with the lowest frequency sampling rate and lowest supply
current drain.
The EHYS1 and EHYS0 bits control timer circuits to filter out
switch bouncing, noise or intermittent contacts, by effectively
adding time-based hysteresis to the EVIN input. They are used
only in conjunction with the sampling rate, they cannot be used
alone. The most appropriate use for the hysteresis function is
for glitch or noise filtering on the EVIN input signal.
For example, the event function is enabled and the EVT bit
in the Status Register is cleared. Then the EVEN pin is
triggered 3 times before the timestamp register is read. Only
the first Event time will be recorded in the Timestamp
Registers, and will be read. Then the EVT bit is cleared in
the Status Register, and two more events happen. The

Battery Backup Details
The event detection function has been designed to minimize
power drain for extended life in battery backed applications.
Many applications will need detection while in battery
backup. Another bit, the EVBATB bit, is used to control if the
event input is active in battery backup mode. Note that to
DISABLE event sampling in battery backup, this bit is set to
1. The occurrence of an event is recorded and can be read
by the microprocessor the next time the circuit is powered
up. The input current sources and sampling are also usable
in battery backup mode. If the EVIENB bit is set to disable
the input current source, a large value pullup resistor must
be tied to the VBAT input to allow event detection in battery
backup.
Note that any input signal conditioning circuitry that is added
in regular operation or battery backup should have minimum
supply current drain, or have the capability to be put in a low
power standby mode. Op amps such as the EL8176 have
low normal supply current (50µA) and standby power drain
(3µA), so can be used in battery backup applications.
Oscillator Crystal Requirements
The ISL1221 uses a standard 32.768kHz crystal. Either
through hole or surface mount crystals can be used. Table
14 lists some recommended surface mount crystals and the
parameters of each. This list is not exhaustive and other
surface mount devices can be used with the ISL1221 if their
specifications are very similar to the devices listed. The
crystal should have a required parallel load capacitance of
12.5pF and an equivalent series resistance of less than 50k.
The crystal’s temperature range specification should match
the application. Many crystals are rated for -10°C to +60°C
(especially through hole and tuning fork types), so an
appropriate crystal should be selected if extended
temperature range is required.
TABLE 14. SUGGESTED SURFACE MOUNT CRYSTALS
The Analog Trimming Register (ATR) is used to adjust the
load capacitance seen by the crystal. There are six bits of
ATR control, with linear capacitance increments available for
adjustment. Since the ATR adjustment is essentially “pulling”
the frequency of the oscillator, the resulting frequency
changes will not be linear with incremental capacitance
changes. The equations which govern pulling show that
lower capacitor values of ATR adjustment will provide larger
increments. Also, the higher values of ATR adjustment will
produce smaller incremental frequency changes. These
values typically vary from 6-10 ppm/bit at the low end to
<1ppm/bit at the highest capacitance settings. The range
afforded by the ATR adjustment with a typical surface mount
crystal is typically -34 to +80ppm around the ATR=0 default
setting because of this property. The user should note this
when using the ATR for calibration. The temperature drift of
the capacitance used in the ATR control is extremely low, so
this feature can be used for temperature compensation with
good accuracy.
In addition to the analog compensation afforded by the
adjustable load capacitance, a digital compensation feature
is available for the ISL1221. There are 3 bits known as the
Digital Trimming Register (DTR). The range provided is
±60ppm in increments of 20ppm. DTR operates by adding or
skipping pulses in the clock counter. It is very useful for
coarse adjustments of frequency drift over temperature or
extending the adjustment range available with the ATR
register.
Initial accuracy is best adjusted by enabling the frequency
output (using the INT register, address 08h), and monitoring
the FOUT pin with a calibrated frequency counter. The
frequency used is unimportant, although 1Hz is the easiest
to monitor. The gating time should be set long enough to
ensure accuracy to at least 1ppm. The ATR should be set to
the center position, or 100000Bh, to begin with. Once the
initial measurement is made, then the ATR register can be
changed to adjust the frequency. Note that increasing the
ATR register for increased capacitance will lower the
frequency, and vice-versa. If the initial measurement shows
the frequency is far off, it will be necessary to use the DTR
register to do a coarse adjustment. Note that most all
crystals will have tight enough initial accuracy at room
temperature so that a small ATR register adjustment should
be all that is needed.

The ATR and DTR controls can be combined to provide
crystal drift temperature compensation. The typical
32.768kHz crystal has a drift characteristic that is similar to
that shown in Figure 20. There is a turnover temperature
(T0) where the drift is very near 0. The shape is parabolic as
it varies with the square of the difference between the actual
temperature and the turnover temperature.
Crystal Oscillator Frequency Adjustment
The ISL1221 device contains circuitry for adjusting the
frequency of the crystal oscillator. This circuitry can be used
to trim oscillator initial accuracy as well as adjust the
frequency to compensate for temperature changes.

If full industrial temperature compensation is desired in an
ISL1221 circuit, then both the DTR and ATR registers will
need to be utilized (total correction range = -94 to +140ppm).
A system to implement temperature compensation would
consist of the ISL1221, a temperature sensor, and a
microcontroller. These devices may already be in the system so
the function will just be a matter of implementing software and
performing some calculations. Fairly accurate temperature
compensation can be implemented just by using the crystal
manufacturer’s specifications for the turnover temperature T0
and the drift coefficient (β). The formula for calculating the
oscillator adjustment necessary is:
The crystal input at X1 has a very high impedance, and
oscillator circuits operating at low frequencies such as
32.768kHz are known to pick up noise very easily if layout
precautions are not followed. Most instances of erratic clocking
or large accuracy errors can be traced to the susceptibility of
the oscillator circuit to interference from adjacent high speed
clock or data lines. Careful layout of the RTC circuit will avoid
noise pickup and insure accurate clocking.
Figure 22 shows a suggested layout for the ISL1221 device
using a surface mount crystal. Two main precautions should
be followed:
1. Do not run the serial bus lines or any high speed logic lines
in the vicinity of the crystal. These logic level lines can
induce noise in the oscillator circuit to cause misclocking.
2. Add a ground trace around the crystal with one end
terminated at the chip ground. This will provide termination
for emitted noise in the vicinity of the RTC device.
ISL1221
Adjustment (ppm) = (T – T0)2 * β
Once the temperature curve for a crystal is established, then
the designer should decide at what discrete temperatures
the compensation will change. Since drift is higher at
extreme temperatures, the compensation may not be
needed until the temperature is greater than +20°C from T0.
PPM ADJUSTMENT
A sample curve of the ATR setting vs. Frequency Adjustment
for the ISL1221 and a typical RTC crystal is given in
Figure 21. This curve may vary with different crystals, so it is
good practice to evaluate a given crystal in an ISL1221
circuit before establishing the adjustment values.

In addition, it is a good idea to avoid a ground plane under
the X1 and X2 pins and the crystal, as this will affect the load
capacitance and therefore the oscillator accuracy of the
circuit. If the FOUT pin is used as a clock, it should be routed
away from the RTC device as well. The traces for the VBAT
and VDD pins can be treated as a ground, and should be
routed around the crystal.

The ISL1221 device provides a VBAT pin which is used for a
battery backup input. A Super Capacitor can be used as an
alternative to a battery in cases where shorter backup times
are required. Since the battery backup supply current
required by the ISL1221 is extremely low, it is possible to get
months of backup operation using a Super Capacitor.
Typical capacitor values are a few µF to 1 Farad or more
depending on the application.
If backup is only needed for a few minutes, then a small
inexpensive electrolytic capacitor can be used. For extended
periods, a low leakage, high capacity Super Capacitor is the

best choice. These devices are available from such vendors
as Panasonic and Murata. The main specifications include
working voltage and leakage current. If the application is for
charging the capacitor from a +5V ±5% supply with a signal
diode, then the voltage on the capacitor can vary from ~4.5V
to slightly over 5.0V. A capacitor with a rated WV of 5.0V
may have a reduced lifetime if the supply voltage is slightly
high. The leakage current should be as small as possible.
For example, a Super Capacitor should be specified with
leakage of well below 1µA. A standard electrolytic capacitor
with DC leakage current in the microamps will have a
severely shortened backup time.
two endpoints. The typical linear equation for IBAT vs. VBAT
is shown in Equation 4.
(EQ. 4)
IBAT = 1.031E-7*(VBAT) + 1.036E-7 Amps
Following are some examples with equations to assist with
calculating backup times and required capacitance for the
ISL1221 device. The backup supply current plays a major
part in these equations, and a typical value was chosen for
example purposes. For a robust design, a margin of 30%
should be included to cover supply current and capacitance
tolerances over the results of the calculations. Even more
margin should be included if periods of very warm
temperature operation are expected.

Example 1. Calculating Backup Time Given

Since there are 86,400 seconds in a day, this corresponds to
35.96 days. If the 30% tolerance is included for capacitor

FIGURE 23. SUPERCAPACITOR CHARGING CIRCUIT
In Figure 23, use CBAT = 0.47F and VDD = 5.0V. With VDD =
5.0V, the voltage at VBAT will approach 4.7V as the diode
turns off completely. The ISL1221 is specified to operate
down to VBAT = 1.8V. The capacitance charge/discharge
equation is used to estimate the total backup time (see
Equation 2 and 3).
(EQ. 2)
I = CBAT * dV/dT
CBAT = 0.47F
VBAT2 = 4.7V
VBAT1 = 1.8V
ILKG = 0 (assumed minimal)
Solving Equation 5 for this example, IBATAVG = 4.387E-7 A
TBACKUP = 0.47 * (2.9) / 4.38E-7 = 3.107E6 sec
Referring to Figure 23 again, the capacitor value needs to be
calculated to give 2 months (60 days) of backup time, given
VDD = 5.0V. As in Example 1, the VBAT voltage will vary from
4.7V down to 1.8V. We will need to rearrange Equation 3 to
solve for capacitance (see Equation 7).
(EQ. 7)
CBAT = dT*I/dV
Using the terms described above, this equation becomes
(see Equation 8):
CBAT = TBACKUP * (IBATAVG + ILKG)/(VBAT2 – VBAT1)
(EQ. 8)
where:
(EQ. 3)
CBAT is the backup capacitance and dV is the change in
voltage from fully charged to loss of operation. Note that
ITOT is the total of the supply current of the ISL1221 (IBAT)
plus the leakage current of the capacitor and the diode, ILKG.
In these calculations, ILKG is assumed to be extremely small
and will be ignored. If an application requires extended
operation at temperatures over 50°C, these leakages will
increase and hence reduce backup time.
Note that IBAT changes with VBAT almost linearly (see
Typical Performance Curves). This allows us to make an
approximation of IBAT, using a value midway between the

Combining with Equation 3 gives the equation for backup
time (see Equation 6).
TBACKUP = CBAT * (VBAT2 - VBAT1) / (IBATAVG + ILKG)

Example 2. Calculating a capacitor value for a
given backup time

Rearranging gives
dT = CBAT * dV/ITOT to solve for backup time.

CBAT = 0.70 * 35.96 = 25.2 days

VDD
Using this equation to solve for the average current given 2
voltage points gives (see Equation 5).
IBATAVG = 5.155E-8*(VBAT2 + VBAT1) + 1.036E-7 Amps
TBACKUP = 60 days * 86,400 sec/day = 5.18 E6 sec
IBATAVG = 4.387 E-7 A (same as Example 1)
ILKG = 0 (assumed)
VBAT2 = 4.7V
VBAT1 = 1.8V
Solving gives:
CBAT = 5.18 E6 * (4.387 E-7)/(2.9) = 0.784F
If the 30% tolerance is included for tolerances, then worst
case cap value would be:
CBAT = 1.3 *.784 = 1.02F
