CALIBRATION

The Calibration register (0x09h) allows a number of

RTCC counts to be added or subtracted (CALSGN bit

located at 0x03:7) each minute. This allows for

calibration to reduce the PPM error due to oscillator

shift. This register is volatile.

The CALSGN bit determines if calibration is positive or

negative.

A value of 0x00 in the Calibration register will result in

no calibration.

The calibration is linear, with one bit representing two

RTC clocks.

The MCP795XX utilizes digital calibration to correct for

the inaccuracies of the input clock source (either

external or crystal). Calibration is enabled by setting

the value of the Calibration register at address 08H.

Calibration is achieved by adding or subtracting a

number of input clock cycles per minute in order to

achieve ppm level adjustments in the internal timing

function of the MCP795XX.

The CALSGN bit is the calibration sign bit, with a ‘1’

indicating subtraction and a ‘0’ indicating addition. The

eight bits in the Calibration register indicate the

number of input clock cycles (multiplied by two) that

are subtracted or added per minute to the internal

timing function.

The internal timing function can be monitored using

the MFP output pin by setting bit 6 (SQWE) and bits

<2:0> (RS2, RS1, RS0) of the Control register at

address 07H. Note that the MFP output waveform is

disabled when the MCP795XX is running in VBAT

mode. With the SQWE bit set to ‘1’, there are two

methods that can be used to observe the internal

timing function of the MCP795XX:

Method 1. RS2 bit set to ‘0’

With the RS2 bit set to ‘0’, the RS1 and RS0 bits

enable the following internal timing signals to be

output on the MFP pin:

The frequencies listed in the table presume an input

clock source of exactly 32.768 kHz. In terms of the

equivalent number of input clock cycles, the table

becomes:

With regards to the calibration function, the Calibration

clock signal when bits RS1 and RS0 are set to ‘11’.

The setting of the Calibration register to a non-zero

value enables the calibration function which can be

observed on the MFP output pin. The calibration

function can be expressed in terms of the number of

input clock cycles added/subtracted from the internal

timing function.

With bits RS1 and RS0 set to ‘00’, the calibration

function can be expressed as:

Since the calibration is done once per minute (i.e.,

when the internal minute counter is incremented), only

one cycle in sixty of the MFP output waveform is

affected by the calibration setting. Also note that the

duty cycle of the MFP output waveform will not

necessarily be at 50% when the calibration setting is

applied.

With bits RS1 and RS0 set to ‘01’ or ‘10’, the

calibration function can not be expressed in terms of

the input clock period. In the case where the MSB of

the Calibration register is set to ‘0’, the waveform

appearing at the MFP output pin will be “delayed”, once

per minute, by twice the number of input clock cycles

defined in the Calibration register. The MFP waveform

will appear as shown in Figure 9-1.
