SM8578BV
Real-time Clock IC
OVERVIEW
The SM8578BV is a serial interface, real-time clock IC that uses a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator for its refer-
ence timing. It comprises second-counter to year-counter clock and calendar circuits that feature automatic
leap-year adjustment, alarm and timer interrupt functions, as well as oscillator stop, timer reloading, and other
detection functions. Data is transferred to and from an external controller using a 3-wire serial interface. It is
available in compact 8-pin VSOP packages, making it ideal for use in all types of portable, hand-held equip-
ment.

Function
Timer interrupt/alarm interrupt output, determined by internal mode setting, or frequency output, with
frequency value given in the frequency set register (N-channel open-drain output)
Oscillator output. Oscillator capacitor C

built-in.
Oscillator input
Negative supply voltage connection
Chip enable input with pull-down resistance built-in. Internal registers can be accessed when CE is HIGH.
Serial data transfer clock input.
In write mode, data is read in from DATA on the rising edge of CLK.
In read mode, data is read out from DATA on the rising edge of CLK.
Serial data transfer data input/output. When CE goes HIGH, the first four bits of write data determine the
operating mode (read mode/write mode).
Positive supply voltage connection. A 0.1µF bypass capacitor should be connected between VDD and VSS.
