Description
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.
The CDP1879 is functionally identical to the CDP1879C-1. The
CDP1879 has a recommended operating voltage range of 4V to 10.5V,
and the CDP1879C-1 has a recommended operating voltage range of
4V to 6.5V. The CDP1879 and the CDP1879C-1 are supplied in 24 lead
hermetic dual-in-line side-brazed ceramic packages (D suffix) and 24
lead dual-in-line plastic packages (E suffix
).
