User manual for I2C-bus RTC demo board OM11059A
1. Introduction
The PCF85063x are a family of CMOS Real-Time Clocks (RTC) and calendar optimized
for low power consumption. Different features sets are available.
The two version of OM11059A are the ideal evaluation/demo boards to use in the design
phase of any project, just power and I
2
C-bus must be hooked up.
A separate demoboard and a user manual are available for the SPI-bus RTC
PCF85063BTL: OM11059 and UM10699.
2. Key features
There are two RTC variants of the PCF85063x RTC with I

3. Hardware set-up
3.1 General requirements for the RTCs PCF85063TP and PCF85063ATL
The RTC circuit just requires one external part: a tuning fork quartz as resonator. The
oscillation capacitors are integrated and therefore there is no need for external
capacitors. The quartz crystal must be placed close to the RTC circuit, avoiding long
lines which may pick up noise. Avoid any tracks with high frequency signals (fast edges)
close to the RTC, quartz, or quartz interconnect.
The interface is the standard Fast Mode I
2
C-bus, operating up to 400 kHz. Adjust pull-up
values to match the required interface speed keeping them as high impedance as
possible for power system saving. Ensure that the specified minimum requirements of
the hold times t
LOW
and t
HIGH
are fulfilled.
Supply voltage: The RTC is specified from 0.9 V to 5.5 V. The I
2
C-bus interface is
specified from 1.8 V to 5.5 V. It is recommended to have a decoupling capacitor on the
VDD-VSS rails close by.
Due to the low power consumption of below 1 μW, no precautions for heat dissipations
are required.
CLKOUT can be used to measure the frequency or be used as reference for frequency
generation with a PLL.
