In a typical application

RESET

can be connected to V

CC

. This connection will allow the DS14287 to go in

and out of power fail without affecting any of the control registers.

CEI

(External RAM Chip Enable Input, active low) -

CEI

should be driven low to enable the external

RAM.

CEI

is internally pulled up with a 50k

resistor.

CEO

(External RAM Chip Enable Output, active low) - When V

CC

is greater than 4.25 volts (typical),

CEO

will reflect

CEI

provided the

RESET

is at a logic high. When V

CC

is less than 4.25 volts (typical),

CEO

will be forced to an inactive level regardless of

CEI

.

V

CCO

(External RAM Power Supply Output) - V

CCO

provides the higher of V

CC

or V

BAT

through an

internal switch to power an external RAM.

DS14285 Only

X1, X2 - Connections for a standard 32.768 kHz quartz crystal. The internal oscillator circuitry is
designed for operation with a crystal having a specified load capacitance (CL) of 6 pF. The crystal is
connected directly to the X1 and X2 pins. There is no need for external capacitors or resistors. Note: X1
and X2 are very high impedance nodes. It is recommended that they and the crystal be guard–ringed with
ground and that high frequency signals be kept away from the crystal area. For more information on
crystal selection and crystal layout considerations, please consult Application Note 58, “Crystal
Considerations with Dallas Real Time Clocks.”

V

BAT

– Battery input for any standard 3-volt lithium cell or other energy source. See the Power-Up/Down

section for considerations in selecting the size of the external energy source

The battery should be connected directly to the V

BAT

pin. A diode must not be placed in series with the

battery to the VBAT pin. Furthermore, a diode is not necessary because reverse charging current
protection circuitry is provided internal to the device and has passed the requirements of Underwriters
Laboratories for UL listing.
