M41T94 Serial real-time clock with 44 bytes NVRAM and reset - 6

Description The M41T94 is a serial real-time clock with 44 bytes of NVRAM and a RESET output. A built-in 32,768 Hz oscillator (external crystal controlled) and 8 bytes of the SRAM (see Table 4 on page 18) are used for the clock/calendar function and are configured in binary coded decimal (BCD) format. An additional 12 bytes of RAM provide status/control of alarm, watchdog and square wave functions. Addresses and data are transferred serially via a serial SPI interface. The built-in address register is incremented automatically after each WRITE or READ data byte. The M41T94 has a built-in...

Signal description Signal description Serial data output (SDO) The output pin is used to transfer data serially out of the memory. Data is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial clock. Serial data input (SDI) The input pin is used to transfer data serially into the device. Instructions, addresses, and the data to be written, are each received this way. Input is latched on the rising edge of the serial clock. Serial clock (SCL) The serial clock provides the timing for the serial interface (as shown in Figure 7 on page 13 and Figure 8 on page 14). The W/R bit, addresses, or data are...

Operation The M41T94 clock operates as a slave device on the SPI serial bus. Each memory device is accessed by a simple serial interface that is SPI bus compatible. The bus signals are SCL, SDI and SDO (see Table 1 on page 8 and Figure 5 on page 9). The device is selected when the chip enable input (E) is held low. All instructions, addresses and data are shifted serially in and out of the chip. The most significant bit is presented first, with the data input (SDI) sampled on the first rising edge of the clock (SCL) after the chip enable (E) goes low. The 64 bytes contained in the device...

SPI bus characteristics The serial peripheral interface (SPI) bus is intended for synchronous communication between different ICs. It consists of four signal lines: serial data input (SDI), serial data output (SDO), serial clock (SCL) and a chip enable (E). By definition a device that gives out a message is called “transmitter,” the receiving device that gets the message is called “receiver.” The device that controls the message is called “master.” The devices that are controlled by the master are called “slaves.” The E input is used to initiate and terminate a data transfer. The SCL input...
