DS1243Y
DESCRIPTION
The DS1243Y 64K NV SRAM with Phantom Clock is a fully static nonvolatile RAM (organized as 8192
words by 8 bits) with a built–in real time clock. The DS1243Y has a self–contained lithium energy source
and control circuitry which constantly monitors V
CC
for an out–of–tolerance condition. When such a
condition occurs, the lithium energy source is automatically switched on and write protection is
unconditionally enabled to prevent corrupted data in both the memory and real time clock.

DS1243Y
The Phantom Clock provides timekeeping information including hundredths of seconds, seconds,
minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The date at the end of the month is automatically
adjusted for months with less than 31 days, including correction for leap years. The Phantom Clock
operates in either 24–hour or 12–hour format with an AM/PM indicator.
RAM READ MODE
The DS1243Y executes a read cycle whenever
WE
(Write Enable) is inactive (high) and
CE
(Chip
Enable) is active (low). The unique address specified by the 13 address inputs (A0–A12) defines which of
the 8192 bytes of data is to be accessed. Valid data will be available to the eight data output drivers
within t
ACC
(Access Time) after the last address input signal is stable, providing that
CE
and
OE
(Output
Enable) access times and states are also satisfied. If
OE
and
CE
access times are not satisfied, then data
access must be measured from the later occurring signal (
CE
or
OE
) and the limiting parameter is either
t
CO
for
CE
or t
OE
for
OE
rather than address access.
RAM WRITE MODE
The DS1243Y is in the write mode whenever the
WE
and
CE
signals are in the active (low) state after
address inputs are stable. The latter occurring falling edge of
CE
or
WE
will determine the start of the
write cycle. The write cycle is terminated by the earlier rising edge of
CE
or
WE
. All address inputs must
be kept valid throughout the write cycle.
WE
must return to the high state for a minimum recovery time
(t
WR
) before another cycle can be initiated. The
OE
control signal should be kept inactive (high) during
write cycles to avoid bus contention. However, if the output bus has been enabled (
CE
and
OE
active)
then
WE
will disable the outputs in t
ODW
from its falling edge.
DATA RETENTION MODE
The DS1243Y provides full functional capability for V
CC
greater than V
TP
and write protects by 4.25
volts. Data is maintained in the absence of V
CC
without any additional support circuitry. The nonvolatile
static RAM constantly monitors V
CC
. Should the supply voltage decay, the RAM automatically write
protects itself. All inputs to the RAM become “don’ care” and all outputs are high impedance. As V
CC
t
falls below approximately 3.0 volts, the power switching circuit connects the lithium energy source to
RAM to retain data. During power–up, when V
CC
rises above approximately 3.0 volts, the power
switching circuit connects external V
CC
to the RAM and disconnects the lithium energy source. Normal
RAM operation can resume after V
CC
exceeds 4.5 volts.
FRESHNESS SEAL
Each DS1243Y is shipped from Dallas Semiconductor with its lithium energy source disconnected,
insuring full energy capacity. When V
CC
is first applied at a level greater than V
TP
, the lithium energy
source is enabled for battery backup operation.
PHANTOM CLOCK OPERATION
Communication with the Phantom Clock is established by pattern recognition on a serial bit stream of 64
bits which must be matched by executing 64 consecutive write cycles containing the proper data on DQ0.
All accesses which occur prior to recognition of the 64–bit pattern are directed to memory.
After recognition is established, the next 64 read or write cycles either extract or update data in the
Phantom Clock, and memory access is inhibited.

DS1243Y
Data transfer to and from the timekeeping function is accomplished with a serial bit stream under control
of Chip Enable (
CE
), Output Enable (
OE
), and Write Enable (
WE
). Initially, a read cycle to any memory
location using the
CE
and
OE
control of the Phantom Clock starts the pattern recognition sequence by
moving a pointer to the first bit of the 64–bit comparison register. Next, 64 consecutive write cycles are
executed using the
CE
and
WE
control of the SmartWatch. These 64 write cycles are used only to gain
access to the Phantom Clock. Therefore, any address to the memory in the socket is acceptable.
However, the write cycles generated to gain access to the Phantom Clock are also writing data to a
location in the mated RAM. The preferred way to manage this requirement is to set aside just one address
location in RAM as a Phantom Clock scratch pad. When the first write cycle is executed, it is compared
to bit 0 of the 64–bit comparison register. If a match is found, the pointer increments to the next location
of the comparison register and awaits the next write cycle. If a match is not found, the pointer does not
advance and all subsequent write cycles are ignored. If a read cycle occurs at any time during pattern
recognition, the present sequence is aborted and the comparison register pointer is reset. Pattern
recognition continues for a total of 64 write cycles as described above until all the bits in the comparison
register have been matched (this bit pattern is shown in Figure 1). With a correct match for 64 bits, the
Phantom Clock is enabled and data transfer to or from the timekeeping registers can proceed. The next 64
cycles will cause the Phantom Clock to either receive or transmit data on DQ0, depending on the level of
the
OE
pin or the
WE
pin. Cycles to other locations outside the memory block can be interleaved with
CE
cycles without interrupting the pattern recognition sequence or data transfer sequence to the Phantom
Clock.
PHANTOM CLOCK
REGISTER INFORMATION
The Phantom Clock information is contained in 8 registers of 8 bits, each of which is sequentially
accessed 1 bit at a time after the 64–bit pattern recognition sequence has been completed. When updating
the Phantom Clock registers, each register must be handled in groups of 8 bits. Writing and reading
individual bits within a register could produce erroneous results. These read/write registers are defined in
Figure 2.
Data contained in the Phantom Clock register is in binary coded decimal format (BCD). Reading and
writing the registers is always accomplished by stepping through all 8 registers, starting with bit 0 of
register 0 and ending with bit 7 of register 7.

NOTE:
The pattern recognition in Hex is C5, 3A, A3, 5C, C5, 3A, A3, 5C. The odds of this pattern being
accidentally duplicated and causing inadvertent entry to the Phantom Clock is less than 1 in 10
19
. This
pattern is sent to the Phantom Clock LSB to MSB.

AM–PM/12/24 MODE
Bit 7 of the hours register is defined as the 12– or 24–hour mode select bit. When high, the 12–hour mode
is selected. In the 12–hour mode, bit 5 is the AM/PM bit with logic high being PM. In the 24–hour mode,
bit 5 is the second 10–hour bit (20–23 hours).
OSCILLATOR AND RESET BITS
Bits 4 and 5 of the day register are used to control the
RESET
and oscillator functions. Bit 4 controls the
RESET
(pin 1). When the
RESET
bit is set to logic 1, the
RESET
input pin is ignored. When the
RESET
bit is set to logic 0, a low input on the
RESET
pin will cause the Phantom Clock to abort data transfer
without changing data in the watch registers. Bit 5 controls the oscillator. When set to logic 1, the
oscillator is off. When set to logic 0, the oscillator turns on and the watch becomes operational. These
bits are shipped from the factory set to a logic 1.
ZERO BITS
Registers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 contain one or more bits which will always read logic 0. When writing these
locations, either a logic 1 or 0 is acceptable.
