DESCRIPTION
The MK41T56 TIMEKEEPER
®
is a low power 512
bit static CMOS RAM organized as 64 words by 8
bits. A built-in 32.768 kHz oscillator (external crystal
controlled) and the first 8 bytes of the RAM are used
for the clock/calendar function and are configured
in binary coded decimal (BCD) format. Addresses
and data are transferred serially via a two-line
bi-directional bus. The built-in address register is
incremented automatically after each write or read
data byte. The MK41T56 clock has a built-in power
sense circuit which detects power failures and
automatically switches to the battery supply during
power failures. The energy needed to sustain the
RAM and clock operations can be supplied from a
small lithium button cell.

DESCRIPTION
(cont’d)
Data retention time is in excess of 10 years with a
50mAh 3V lithium cell. The MK41T56 is supplied in
8 pin Plastic Dual-in-Line and 8 lead Plastic SOIC
packages.
OPERATION
The MK41T56 clock operates as a slave device on
the serial bus. Access is obtained by implementing
a start condition followed by the correct slave ad-
dress (11010000). The 64 bytes contained in the
device can then be accessed sequentially in the

Load capacitors are integrated within the MK41T56. Circuit board layout considerations for the 32.768 kHz crystal of
minimum trace lengths and isolation from RF generating signals should be taken into account.
STMicroelectronics recommends the ECS-.327-12.5-8SP-2 quartz crystal is recommended for industrial temperature operations.
ESC Inc. can be contacted at 800-237-1041 or 913-782-7787 for further information on this crystal type.

OPERATION
(cont’d)
The clock continually monitors V
CC
for an out of
tolerance condition. Should V
CC
fall below V
PFD
,
the device terminates an access in progress and
resets the device address counter. Inputs to the
device will not be recognized at this time to prevent
erroneous data from being written to the device
from an out of tolerance system. When V
CC
falls
below V
BAT
, the device automatically switches over
to the battery and powers down into an ultra low
current mode of operation to conserve battery life.
Upon power-up, the device switches from battery
to V
CC
at V
BAT
and recognizes inputs when V
CC
goes above V
PFD
volts.
2-WIRE BUS CHARACTERISTICS
This bus is intended for communication between
different ICs. It consists of two lines: one bi-direc-
tional for data signals (SDA) and one for clock
signals (SCL). Both the SDA and the SCL lines
must be connected to a positive supply voltage via
a pull-up resistor.
The following protocol has been defined:
– Data transfer may be initiated only when the
bus is not busy.
– During data transfer, the data line must remain
stable whenever the clock line is High.
– Changes in the data line while the clock line is
High will be interpreted as control signals.
