PCA85063A

Automotive Real-Time Clock/calendar with alarm function and I2C-bus

Functional description

The PCA85063A contains 18 8-bit registers with an auto-incrementing register address,

an on-chip 32.768 kHz oscillator with integrated capacitors, a frequency divider which

provides the source clock for the Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calender, and an I2C-bus

interface with a maximum data rate of 400 kbit/s.

The built-in address register will increment automatically after each read or write of a data

byte up to the register 11h. After register 11h, the auto-incrementing will wrap around to

address 00h (see Figure 3).

All registers (see Table 5) are designed as addressable 8-bit parallel registers although

not all bits are implemented. The first two registers (memory address 00h and 01h) are

used as control and status register. The register at address 02h is an offset register

allowing the fine-tuning of the clock; and at 03h is a free RAM byte. The addresses 04h

through 0Ah are used as counters for the clock function (seconds up to years counters).

Address locations 0Bh through 0Fh contain alarm registers which define the conditions for

an alarm. The registers at 10h and 11h are for the timer function.

The Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Months, and Years as well as the corresponding

alarm registers are all coded in Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format. When one of the

RTC registers is written or read, the contents of all time counters are frozen. Therefore,

faulty writing or reading of the clock and calendar during a carry condition is prevented.

For details on maximum access time, see Section 8.4 on page 23.
