FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION AND TESTING
Motor pulse
The motor pulse width (t
P
) and the cycle times (t
T
) are
given in Chapter “Available types”.
Voltage level detector
The supply voltage is compared with the internal voltage
reference V
LIT
and V
EOL
every minute. The first voltage
level detection is carried out 30 ms after a RESET.
Lithium mode
If a lithium voltage is detected (V
DD
≥
V
LIT
), the circuit will
operate in the lithium mode. The motor pulse will be
produced with a 75% duty factor.
Silver-oxide mode
If the voltage level detected is between V
LIT
and V
EOL
, the
circuit will operate in silver-oxide mode.
Battery end-of-life
(1)
If the battery end-of-life is detected (V
DD
≤
V
EOL
), the
motor pulse will be produced without chopping. To indicate
this condition, bursts of 4 pulses are produced every 4 s.
Power-on reset
For correct operation of the Power-on reset the rise time of
V
DD
from 0 V to 2.1 V should be less than 0.1 ms.
All resettable flip-flops are reset. Additionally the polarity of
the first motor pulse is positive: V
M1
−
V
M2
≥
0 V.
An output frequency of 32 Hz is provided at RESET (pin 8)
to be used for exact frequency measurement. Every
minute a jitter occurs as a result of time calibration, which
occurs 90 to 150 ms after disconnecting the RESET from
V
DD
.
Connecting the RESET to V
DD
stops the motor pulses
leaving them in a HIGH impedance 3-state condition and a
32 Hz signal without jitter is produced at the TEST pin.
A debounce circuit protects accidental stoppages due to
mechanical shock to the watch (t
DEB
= 14.7 to 123.2 ms).
Connecting RESET to V
SS
activates Tests 1 and 2 and
disables the time calibration.
Test 1, V
DD
> V
EOL
. Normal function takes place except
the voltage detection cycle (t
V
) is 125 ms and the cycle
time t
T1
is 31.25 ms. At pin TEST a minute signal is
available at 8192 times its normal frequency.
Test 2
(2)
, V
DD
< V
EOL
. The voltage detection cycle (t
V
) is
31.25 ms and the motor pulse period (t
T2
) = 31.25 ms.
Test and reset mode are terminated by disconnecting the
RESET pin.
Test 3, V
DD
> 5.1 V.
Motor pulses with a time period of
t
T3
= 31.25 ms and n
×
122
µs
are produced to check the
contents of the EEPROM. At pin TEST the motor pulse
period signal (t
T
) is available at 1024 times its normal
frequency. The circuit returns to normal operation when
V
DD
< 2.5 V between two motor pulses.

(1) Only available for types with a 1 s motor pulse.

32 kHz watch circuits with EEPROM
Time calibration
Taking a normal quartz crystal with frequency 32768kHz,
frequency deviation (∆f/f) of
±15 ×
10
−6
and C
L
= 8.2 pF;
the oscillator frequency is offset (by using non-symmetrical
internal oscillator input and output capacitances of 10 pF
and 15 pF) such that the frequency deviation is
positive-only. This positive deviation can then be
compensated for to maintain time-keeping accuracy.
Once the positive frequency deviation is measured, a
corresponding number ‘n’ (see Table 1) is programmed
into the device’s EEPROM. This causes n pulses of
frequency 8192 Hz to be inhibited every minute of
operation, which achieves the required calibration.
The programming circuit is shown in Fig.2. The required
number n is programmed into EEPROM by varying V
DD
according to the steps shown in Fig.3, which are
explained below:
1. The positive quartz frequency deviation (∆f/f) is
measured, and the corresponding values of n are
found according to Table 1.
2. V
DD
is increased to 5.1 V allowing the contents of the
EEPROM to be checked from the motor pulse period
t
T3
at nominal frequency.

3. V
DD
is decreased to 2.5 V during a motor pulse to
initialize a storing sequence.
4. The first V
DD
pulse to 5.1 V erases the contents of
EEPROM.
5. When the EEPROM is erased a logic 1 is at the TEST
pin.
6. V
DD
is increased to 5.1 V to read the data by pulsing
V
DD
n times to 4.5 V. After the n edge, V
DD
is
decreased to 2.5 V.
7. V
DD
is increased to 5.1 V to store n bits in the
EEPROM.
8. V
DD
is decreased to 2.5 V to terminate the storing
sequence and to return to operating mode.
9. V
DD
is increased to 5.1 V to check writing from the
motor pulse period t
T3
.
10. V
DD
is decreased to the operation voltage
between
two motor pulses to return to operating mode.
(Decreasing V
DD
during the motor pulse would restart
the programming mode).
The time calibration can be reprogrammed up to 100
times.
