SIGNAL DESCRIPTIONS
V
CC
, GND - DC power is provided to the device on these pins. V
CC
is the +3.0 volt or +5.0 volt input.
V
BAT
(Backup Power Supply) - Battery input for standard 3-volt lithium cell or other energy source.
SCLK (Serial Clock Input) - SCLK is used to synchronize data movement on the serial interface.
I/O (Data Input/Output) - The I/O pin is the bi-directional data pin for the 3-wire interface.
CS (Chip Select) - The Chip Select signal must be asserted high during a read or a write for
communication over the 3-wire serial interface. CS has an internal 40k ohm pull down resistor
V
CCO
(External SRAM Power Supply Output) - This pin is internally connected to V
CC
when V
CC
is
within nominal limits. However, during power-fail V
CCO
is internally connected to the V
BAT
pin.
Switchover occurs when V
CC
drops below V
CCSW
.
INT (Interrupt Output) - The INT pin is an active high output of the DS1673 that can be used as an
interrupt input to a microprocessor. The INT output remains high as long as the status bit causing the
interrupt is present and the corresponding interrupt-enable bit is set. The INT pin operates when the
DS1673 is powered by V
CC
or V
BAT
.
CEI (RAM Chip Enable In) - CEI must be driven low to enable the external RAM.
BLE (Byte Low Enable Input) - This pin when driven low activates the CEOL output if CEI is also
driven low.
BHE (Byte High Enable Input) - This pin when driven low activates the CEOH output if CEI is also
driven low.
CEOL (RAM Chip Enable Out Low) – Chip enable output for low order SRAM byte.
CEOH (RAM Chip Enable Out High) – Chip enable output for high order SRAM byte.
ST (Strobe Input) - The Strobe input pin is used in conjunction with the watchdog timer. If the ST pin
is not driven low within the watchdog time period, the RST pin is driven low.
RST (Reset) - The RST pin functions as a microprocessor reset signal. This pin is driven low 1) when
V
CC
is outside of nominal limits; 2) when the watchdog timer has “timed out”; 3) during the power-up
reset period; and 4) in response to a pushbutton reset. The RST pin also functions as a pushbutton reset
input. When the RST pin is driven low, the signal is debounced and timed such that a RST signal of at
least 250 ms is generated. This pin has an open drain output with an internal 47 k Ω pull-up resistor.
AIN0, AIN1, AIN2 (Analog Inputs) - These pins are the three analog inputs for the 3-channel analog-to-
digital converter.
