R/ W (Read/Write Input) - The R/ W pin also has two modes of operation. When the MOT pin is
connected to V
CC
for Motorola timing, R/ W is at a level which indicates whether the current cycle is a
read or write. A read cycle is indicated with a high level on R/ W while DS is high. A write cycle is
indicated when R/ W is low during DS.
When the MOT pin is connected to GND for Intel timing, the R/ W signal is an active low signal called
WR . In this mode the R/ W pin has the same meaning as the Write Enable signal ( WE ) on generic
RAMs.
CS (Chip Select Input) - The Chip Select signal must be asserted low for a bus cycle in the
DS14285/DS14287 to be accessed. CS must be kept in the active state during DS for Motorola timing
and during RD and WR for Intel timing. Bus cycles which take place without asserting CS will latch
addresses but no access will occur. When V
CC
is below 4.25 volts, the DS14285/DS14287 internally
inhibits access cycles by internally disabling the CS input. This action protects both the real time clock
data and RAM data during power outages.
IRQ (Interrupt Request Output) - The IRQ pin is an active low output of the DS14285/DS14287 that
can be used as an interrupt input to a processor. The IRQ output remains low as long as the status bit
causing the interrupt is present and the corresponding interrupt-enable bit is set. To clear the IRQ pin the
processor program normally reads the C register. The RESET pin also clears pending interrupts.
When no interrupt conditions are present, the IRQ level is in the high impedance state. Multiple
interrupting devices can be connected to an IRQ bus. The IRQ bus is an open drain output and requires an
external pull-up resistor.
RESET (Reset Input) - The RESET pin has no effect on the clock, calendar, or RAM. On power-up the
RESET pin can be held low for a time in order to allow the power supply to stabilize. The amount of time
that RESET is held low is dependent on the application. However, if RESET is used on power-up, the
time RESET is low should exceed 200 ms to make sure that the internal timer that controls the
DS14285/DS14287 on power-up has timed out. When RESET is low and V
CC
is above 4.25 volts, the
following occurs:
A. Periodic Interrupt Enable (PEI) bit is cleared to 0.
B. Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE) bit is cleared to 0.
C. Update Ended Interrupt Flag (UF) bit is cleared to 0.
D. Interrupt Request Status Flag (IRQF) bit is cleared to 0.
E. Periodic Interrupt Flag (PF) bit is cleared to 0.
F. The device is not accessible until RESET is returned high.
G. Alarm Interrupt Flag (AF) bit is cleared to 0.
H. IRQ pin is in the high impedance state.
I. Square Wave Output Enable ( SQWE ) bit is cleared to 0.
J. Update Ended Interrupt Enable (UIE) is cleared to 0.
K. CEO is driven high.
