DESCRIPTION
The X1226 device is a Real Time Clock with
clock/calendar, two polled alarms with integrated
512x8 EEPROM, oscillator compensation, and battery
backup switch.
The oscillator uses an external, low-cost 32.768kHz
crystal. All compensation and trim components are
integrated on the chip. This eliminates several external
discrete components and a trim capacitor, saving
board area and component cost.

Brief Description
X1.
The X1pin is the input of an inverting amplifier. An external 32.768kHz quartz
crystal is used with the X1226 to supply a timebase for the real time clock. The
recommended crystal is a Citizen CFS206-32.768KDZF. Internal compensation circuitry is
included to form a complete oscillator circuit. Care should be taken in the placement of the
crystal and the layout of the circuit. Plenty of ground plane around the device and short
traces to X1 are highly recommended. See Application section for more recommendations.
X2.
The X2 pin is the output of an inverting amplifier. An external 32.768kHz quartz
crystal is used with the X1226 to supply a timebase for the real time clock. The
recommended crystal is a Citizen CFS206-32.768KDZF. Internal compensation circuitry is
included to form a complete oscillator circuit. Care should be taken in the placement of the
crystal and the layout of the circuit. Plenty of ground plane around the device and short
traces to X2 are highly recommended. See Application section for more recommendations.
Programmable Frequency/Interrupt Output – PHZ/IRQ.
This is either an output from
the internal oscillator or an interrupt signal output. It is an open drain output.
When used as frequency output, this signal has a frequency of 32.768kHz, 4096Hz,
1Hz or inactive.
When used as interrupt output, this signal notifies a host processor that an alarm has
occurred and an action is required. It is an active LOW output.
The control bits for this function are FO1 and FO0 and are found in address 0011h of
the Clock Control Memory map. See “Programmable Frequency Output Bits—FO1,
FO0” on page 9.

Serial Data (SDA).
SDA is a bidirectional pin used to transfer data into and out of the
device. It has an open drain output and may be wire ORed with other open drain or
open collector outputs. The input buffer is always active (not gated).
An open drain output requires the use of a pull-up resistor. The output circuitry controls
the fall time of the output signal with the use of a slope controlled pull-down. The circuit
is designed for 400kHz 2-wire interface speed.

DESCRIPTION
(continued)
The Real-Time Clock keeps track of time with
separate registers for Hours, Minutes, Seconds. The
Calendar has separate registers for Date, Month, Year
and Day-of-week. The calendar is correct through
2099, with automatic leap year correction.
The powerful Dual Alarms can be set to any
Clock/Calendar value for a match. For instance, every
minute, every Tuesday, or 5:23 AM on March 21. The
alarms can be polled in the Status Register or provide
a hardware interrupt (IRQ Pin). There is a repeat
mode for the alarms allowing a periodic interrupt.
The PHZ/IRQ pin may be software selected to provide
a frequency output of 1 Hz, 4096 Hz, or 32,768 Hz.
The device offers a backup power input pin. This
V
BACK
pin allows the device to be backed up by
battery or SuperCap. The entire X1226 device is fully
operational from 2.7 to 5.5 volts and the
clock/calendar portion of the X1226 device remains
fully operational down to 1.8 volts (Standby Mode).
The X1226 device provides 4K bits of EEPROM with 8
modes of BlockLock™ control. The BlockLock allows a
safe, secure memory for critical user and configuration
data, while allowing a large user storage area.

the stop bit is written. The RTC continues to update
the time while an RTC register write is in progress and
the RTC continues to run during any nonvolatile write
sequences. A single byte may be written to the RTC
without affecting the other bytes.
Accuracy of the Real Time Clock
The accuracy of the Real Time Clock depends on the
frequency of the quartz crystal that is used as the time
base for the RTC. Since the resonant frequency of a
crystal is temperature dependent, the RTC perfor-
mance will also be dependent upon temperature. The
frequency deviation of the crystal is a fuction of the
turnover temperature of the crystal from the crystal’s
nominal frequency. For example, a >20ppm frequency
deviation translates into an accuracy of >1 minute per
month. These parameters are available from the crystal
manufacturer. Intersil’s RTC family provides on-chip
crystal compensation networks to adjust load-
capacitance to tune oscillator frequency from +116 ppm
to -37 ppm when using a 12.5 pF load crystal. For more
detail information see the Application section.
CLOCK/CONTROL REGISTERS (CCR)
The Control/Clock Registers are located in an area
separate from the EEPROM array and are only
accessible following a slave byte of “1101111x” and
reads or writes to addresses [0000h:003Fh]. The
clock/control memory map has memory addresses
from 0000h to 003Fh. The defined addresses are
described in the Table 1. Writing to and reading from
the undefined addresses are not recommended.
CCR Access
The contents of the CCR can be modified by perform-
ing a byte or a page write operation directly to any
address in the CCR. Prior to writing to the CCR
(except the status register), however, the WEL and
RWEL bits must be set using a two step process (See
section “Writing to the Clock/Control Registers.”)
The CCR is divided into 5 sections. These are:
1.

REAL TIME CLOCK OPERATION
The Real Time Clock (RTC) uses an external
32.768kHz quartz crystal to maintain an accurate inter-
nal representation of the second, minute, hour, day,
date, month, and year. The RTC has leap-year correc-
tion. The clock also corrects for months having fewer
than 31 days and has a bit that controls 24 hour or
AM/PM format. When the X1226 powers up after the
loss of both V
CC
and V
BACK
, the clock will not operate
until at least one byte is written to the clock register.
Reading the Real Time Clock
The RTC is read by initiating a Read command and
specifying the address corresponding to the register of
the Real Time Clock. The RTC Registers can then be
read in a Sequential Read Mode. Since the clock runs
continuously and a read takes a finite amount of time,
there is the possibility that the clock could change during
the course of a read operation. In this device, the time is
latched by the read command (falling edge of the clock
on the ACK bit prior to RTC data output) into a separate
latch to avoid time changes during the read operation.
The clock continues to run. Alarms occurring during a
read are unaffected by the read operation.
Writing to the Real Time Clock
The time and date may be set by writing to the RTC
registers. To avoid changing the current time by an
uncompleted write operation, the current time value is
loaded into a separate buffer at the falling edge of the
clock on the ACK bit before the RTC data input bytes,
the clock continues to run. The new serial input data
replaces the values in the buffer. This new RTC value
is loaded back into the RTC Register by a stop bit at
the end of a valid write sequence. An invalid write
operation aborts the time update procedure and the
contents of the buffer are discarded. After a valid write
operation the RTC will reflect the newly loaded data
beginning with the next “one second” clock cycle after
Each register is read and written through buffers. The
non-volatile portion (or the counter portion of the RTC) is
updated only if RWEL is set and only after a valid write
operation and stop bit. A sequential read or page write
operation provides access to the contents of only one
section of the CCR per operation. Access to another sec-
tion requires a new operation. Continued reads or writes,
