REAL-TIME CLOCK (RTC)

The RTC provides timekeeping and calendar management capabilities. It uses a 32.768 KHz signal as the basic clock for

timekeeping. The RTC also includes 242 bytes of battery-backed RAM for general-purpose use.

The RTC provides the following functions:

●

Accurate timekeeping and calendar management

●

Alarm at a predetermined time and/or date

●

Three programmable interrupt sources

●

Valid timekeeping during power-down, by utilizing external battery backup

●

242 bytes of battery-backed RAM

●

RAM lock schemes to protect its content

●

Internal oscillator circuit (the crystal itself is off-chip) or external clock supply for the 32.768 KHz clock

●

A century counter

●

PnP support:

— Relocatable index and data registers

— Module access enable/disable option

— Host interrupt enable/disable option

●

Additional low-power features such as:

— Automatic switching from battery to VCC

— Internal power monitoring on the VRT bit

— Oscillator disabling to save battery during storage

●

Software compatible with the DS1287 and MC146818

6.2.1

Bus Interface

The RTC function is initially mapped to the default SuperI/O locations at indexes 7016 to 7316 (two Index/Data pairs). These

locations may be reassigned in compliance with Plug and Play requirements.

6.2.2

RTC Clock Generation

The RTC uses a 32.768 KHz clock signal as the basic clock for timekeeping. The 32.768 KHz clock is generated by the in-

ternal oscillator circuit or by an external oscillator (see Sections 6.2.3 and 6.2.4).

6.2.3

Internal Oscillator

The internal oscillator employs an external crystal connected to the on-chip amplifier. The on-chip amplifier is accessible on

the 32KX1 input pin and the 32KX2 output pin. See Figure 113 for the recommended external circuit and Table 65 for a list-

ing of the circuit components. The oscillator may be disabled in certain conditions. See Section 6.2.12 on page 362 for more

details.
