DESCRIPTION
The DS1642 is a 2K x 8 nonvolatile static RAM and a full-function real time clock which are both
accessible in a bytewide format. The nonvolatile time keeping RAM is pin- and function-equivalent to
any JEDEC standard 2K x 8 SRAM. The device can also be easily substituted in ROM, EPROM and
EEPROM sockets, providing read/write nonvolatility and the addition of the real time clock function. The
real time clock information resides in the eight uppermost RAM locations. The RTC registers contain
year, month, date, day, hours, minutes, and seconds data in 24-hour BCD format. Corrections for the day
of the month and leap year are made automatically. The RTC clock registers are double-buffered to avoid
access of incorrect data that can occur during clock update cycles. The double-buffered system also

DS1642
prevents time loss as the timekeeping countdown continues unabated by access to time register data. The
DS1642 also contains its own power-fail circuitry which deselects the device when the V
CC
supply is in
an out-of-tolerance condition. This feature prevents loss of data from unpredictable system operation
brought on by low V
CC
as errant access and update cycles are avoided.
CLOCK OPERATIONS-READING THE CLOCK
While the double-buffered register structure reduces the chance of reading incorrect data, internal updates
to the DS1642 clock registers should be halted before clock data is read to prevent reading of data in
transition. However, halting the internal clock register updating process does not affect clock accuracy.
Updating is halted when a 1 is written into the read bit, the 7th most significant bit in the control register.
As long as a 1 remains in that position, updating is halted. After a halt is issued, the registers reflect the
count, that is day, date, and time that was current at the moment the halt command was issued. However,
the internal clock registers of the double-buffered system continue to update so that the clock accuracy is
not affected by the access of data. All of the DS1642 registers are updated simultaneously after the clock
status is reset. Updating is within a second after the read bit is written to 0.

SETTING THE CLOCK
The 8th bit of the control register is the write bit. Setting the write bit to a 1, like the read bit, halts
updates to the DS1642 registers. The user can then load them with the correct day, date and time data in
24-hour BCD format. Resetting the write bit to a 0 then transfers those values to the actual clock counters
and allows normal operation to resume.
STOPPING AND STARTING THE CLOCK OSCILLATOR
The clock oscillator may be stopped at any time. To increase the shelf life, the oscillator can be turned off
to minimize current drain from the battery. The
OSC
bit is the MSB for the seconds registers. Setting it to
a 1 stops the oscillator.
FREQUENCY TEST BIT
Bit 6 of the day byte is the frequency test bit. When the frequency test bit is set to logic 1 and the
oscillator is running, the LSB of the seconds register will toggle at 512 Hz. When the seconds register is
being read, the DQ0 line will toggle at the 512 Hz frequency as long as conditions for access remain valid
(i.e.,
CE
low, and
OE
low) and address for seconds register remain valid and stable.
CLOCK ACCURACY
The DS1642 is guaranteed to keep time accuracy to within
±1
minute per month at 25° The clock is
C.
calibrated at the factory by Dallas Semiconductor using special calibration nonvolatile tuning elements.
The DS1642 does not require additional calibration and temperature deviations will have a negligible
effect in most applications. For this reason, methods of field clock calibration are not available and not
necessary.

RETRIEVING DATA FROM RAM OR CLOCK
The DS1642 is in the read mode whenever
WE
(write enable) is high, and
CE
(chip enable) is low. The
device architecture allows ripple–through access to any of the address locations in the NV SRAM. Valid
data will be available at the DQ pins within t
AA
after the last address input is stable, providing that the
CE
and
OE
access times and states are satisfied. If
CE
or
OE
access times are not met, valid data will be
available at the latter of chip enable access (t
CEA
) or at output enable access time (t
OEA
). The state of the
data input/output pins (DQ) is controlled by
CE
and
OE
. If the outputs are activated before t
AA
, the data
lines are driven to an intermediate state until t
AA
. If the address inputs are changed while
CE
and
OE
remain valid, output data will remain valid for output data hold time (t
OH
) but will then go indeterminate
until the next address access.
WRITING DATA TO RAM OR CLOCK
The DS1642 is in the write mode whenever
WE
and
CE
are in their active state. The start of a write is
referenced to the latter occurring transition of
WE
or
CE
. The addresses must be held valid throughout
the cycle.
CE
or
WE
must return inactive for a minimum of t
WR
prior to the initiation of another read or
write cycle. Data in must be valid t
DS
prior to the end of write and remain valid for t
DH
afterward. In a
typical application, the
OE
signal will be high during a write cycle. However,
OE
can be active provided
that care is taken with the data bus to avoid bus contention. If
OE
is low prior to
WE
transitioning low
the data bus can become active with read data defined by the address inputs. A low transition on
WE
will
then disable the outputs t
WEZ
after
WE
goes active.
DATA RETENTION MODE
When V
CC
is within nominal limits (V
CC
> 4.5 volts) the DS1642 can be accessed as described above by
read or write cycles. However, when V
CC
is below the power-fail point V
PF
(point at which write
protection occurs) the internal clock registers and RAM is blocked from access. This is accomplished
internally by inhibiting access via the
CE
signal. When V
CC
falls below the level of the internal battery
supply, power input is switched from the V
CC
pin to the internal battery and clock activity, RAM, and
clock data are maintained from the battery until V
CC
is returned to nominal level.
BATTERY LONGEVITY
The DS1642 has a lithium power source that is designed to provide energy for clock activity, and clock
and RAM data retention when the V
CC
supply is not present. The capability of this internal power supply
is sufficient to power the DS1642 continuously for the life of the equipment in which it is installed. For
specification purposes, the life expectancy is 10 years at 25° with the internal clock oscillator running in
C
the absence of V
CC
power. Each DS1642 is shipped from Dallas Semiconductor with its lithium energy
source disconnected, guaranteeing full energy capacity. When V
CC
is first applied at a level greater than
V
PF
, the lithium energy source is enabled for battery backup operation. Actual life expectancy of the
DS1642 will be much longer than 10 years since no lithium battery energy is consumed when V
CC
is
present.
