DS1307

The DS1307 may operate in the following two modes:

1. Slave receiver mode (DS1307 write mode): Serial data and clock are received through SDA and

SCL. After each byte is received an acknowledge bit is transmitted. START and STOP conditions

are recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer. Address recognition is performed by

hardware after reception of the slave address and *direction bit (See Figure 6). The address byte is

the first byte received after the start condition is generated by the master. The address byte contains

the 7 bit DS1307 address, which is 1101000, followed by the *direction bit (R/ W ) which, for a write,

is a 0. After receiving and decoding the address byte the device outputs an acknowledge on the SDA

line. After the DS1307 acknowledges the slave address + write bit, the master transmits a register

address to the DS1307 This will set the register pointer on the DS1307. The master will then begin

transmitting each byte of data with the DS1307 acknowledging each byte received. The master will

generate a stop condition to terminate the data write.

2. Slave transmitter mode (DS1307 read mode): The first byte is received and handled as in the slave

receiver mode. However, in this mode, the *direction bit will indicate that the transfer direction is

reversed. Serial data is transmitted on SDA by the DS1307 while the serial clock is input on SCL.

START and STOP conditions are recognized as the beginning and end of a serial transfer (See

Figure 7). The address byte is the first byte received after the start condition is generated by the

master. The address byte contains the 7-bit DS1307 address, which is 1101000, followed by the

*direction bit (R/ W ) which, for a read, is a 1. After receiving and decoding the address byte the

device inputs an acknowledge on the SDA line. The DS1307 then begins to transmit data starting

with the register address pointed to by the register pointer. If the register pointer is not written to

before the initiation of a read mode the first address that is read is the last one stored in the register

pointer. The DS1307 must receive a Not Acknowledge to end a read.
