DESCRIPTION
The DS1746 is a full function, year 2000 compliant (Y2KC), real-time clock/calendar (RTC) and 128k x
8 non-volatile static RAM. User access to all registers within the DS1746 is accomplished with a
bytewide interface as shown in Figure 1. The Real Time Clock (RTC) information and control bits reside
in the eight uppermost RAM locations. The RTC registers contain century, year, month, date, day, hours,
minutes, and seconds data in 24-hour BCD format. Corrections for the date of each month and leap year
are made automatically. The RTC clock registers are double buffered to avoid access of incorrect data
that can occur during clock update cycles. The double buffered system also prevents time loss as the
timekeeping countdown continues unabated by access to time register data. The DS1746 also contains its
own power-fail circuitry which deselects the device when the V
CC
supply is in an out of tolerance
condition. This feature prevents loss of data from unpredictable system operation brought on by low V
CC
as errant access and update cycles are avoided.

PACKAGES
The DS1746 is available in two packages (32-pin DIP and 34-pin PowerCap module). The 32-pin DIP
style module integrates the crystal, lithium energy source, and silicon all in one package. The 34-pin
PowerCap Module Board is designed with contacts for connection to a separate PowerCap (DS9034PCX)
that contains the crystal and battery. This design allows the PowerCap to be mounted on top of the
DS1746P after the completion of the surface mount process. Mounting the PowerCap after the surface
mount process prevents damage to the crystal and battery due to the high temperatures required for solder
reflow. The PowerCap is keyed to prevent reverse insertion. The PowerCap Module Board and PowerCap
are ordered separately and shipped in separate containers. The part number for the PowerCap is
DS9034PCX.
CLOCK OPERATIONS-READING THE CLOCK
While the double buffered register structure reduces the chance of reading incorrect data, internal updates
to the DS1746 clock registers should be halted before clock data is read to prevent reading of data in
transition. However, halting the internal clock register updating process does not affect clock accuracy.
Updating is halted when a one is written into the read bit, bit 6 of the century register, see Table 2. As
long as a one remains in that position, updating is halted. After a halt is issued, the registers reflect the
count, that is day, date, and time that was current at the moment the halt command was issued. However,
the internal clock registers of the double buffered system continue to update so that the clock accuracy is
not affected by the access of data. All of the DS1746 registers are updated simultaneously after the
internal clock register updating process has been re-enabled. Updating is within a second after the read bit
is written to zero. The READ bit must be a zero for a minimum of 500
s to ensure the external registers
will be updated.

SETTING THE CLOCK
As shown in Table 2, bit 7 of the century register is the write bit. Setting the write bit to a one, like the
read bit, halts updates to the DS1746 registers. The user can then load them with the correct day, date and
time data in 24 hour BCD format. Resetting the write bit to a zero then transfers those values to the actual
clock counters and allows normal operation to resume.
STOPPING AND STARTING THE CLOCK OSCILLATOR
The clock oscillator may be stopped at any time. To increase the shelf life, the oscillator can be turned off
to minimize current drain from the battery. The OSC bit is the MSB (bit 7) of the seconds registers, see
Table 2. Setting it to a one stops the oscillator.
FREQUENCY TEST BIT
As shown in Table 2, bit 6 of the day byte is the frequency test bit. When the frequency test bit is set to
logic "1" and the oscillator is running, the LSB of the seconds register will toggle at 512 Hz. When the
seconds register is being read, the DQ0 line will toggle at the 512 Hz frequency as long as conditions for
access remain valid (i.e., CE low, OE low, WE high, and address for seconds register remain valid and
stable).
CLOCK ACCURACY (DIP MODULE)
The DS1746 is guaranteed to keep time accuracy to within
1 minute per month at 25
C. The RTC is
calibrated at the factory by Dallas Semiconductor using nonvolatile tuning elements, and does not require
additional calibration. For this reason, methods of field clock calibration are not available and not
necessary. Clock accuracy is also effected by the electrical environment and caution should be taken to
place the RTC in the lowest level EMI section of the PCB layout. For additional information please see
application note 58.
CLOCK ACCURACY (POWERCAP MODULE)
The DS1746 and DS9034PCX are each individually tested for accuracy. Once mounted together, the
module will typically keep time accuracy to within
1.53 minutes per month (35 ppm) at 25C. Clock
accuracy is also effected by the electrical environment and caution should be taken to place the RTC in
the lowest level EMI section of the PCB layout. For additional information please see application note
58.

RETRIEVING DATA FROM RAM OR CLOCK
The DS1746 is in the read mode whenever OE (output enable) is low, WE (write enable) is high, and CE
(chip enable) is low. The device architecture allows ripple-through access to any of the address locations
in the NV SRAM. Valid data will be available at the DQ pins within t
AA
after the last address input is
stable, providing that the CE and OE access times and states are satisfied. If CE or OE access times
and states are not met, valid data will be available at the latter of chip enable access (t
CEA)
or at output
enable access time (t
OEA)
. The state of the data input/output pins (DQ) is controlled by CE and OE . If the
outputs are activated before t
AA
, the data lines are driven to an intermediate state until t
AA
. If the address
inputs are changed while CE and OE remain valid, output data will remain valid for output data hold
time (t
OH
) but will then go indeterminate until the next address access.
WRITING DATA TO RAM OR CLOCK
The DS1746 is in the write mode whenever WE , and CE are in their active state. The start of a write is
referenced to the latter occurring transition of WE , or CE . The addresses must be held valid throughout
the cycle. CE or WE must return inactive for a minimum of t
WR
prior to the initiation of another read or
write cycle. Data in must be valid t
DS
prior to the end of write and remain valid for t
DS
afterward. In a
typical application, the OE signal will be high during a write cycle. However, OE can be active
provided that care is taken with the data bus to avoid bus contention. If OE is low prior to
WE transitioning low the data bus can become active with read data defined by the address inputs. A low
transition on WE will then disable the output t
WEZ
after WE goes active.
