DP8570A Timer Clock Peripheral (TCP)  
General Description  
The DP8570A is intended for use in microprocessor based  
systems where information is required for multi-tasking, data  
logging or general time of day/date information. This device  
is implemented in low voltage silicon gate microCMOS tech-  
nology to provide low standby power in battery back-up en-  
vironments. The circuit’s architecture is such that it looks  
like a contiguous block of memory or I/O ports. The address  
space is organized as 2 software selectable pages of 32  
bytes. This includes the Control Registers, the Clock Coun-  
ters, the Alarm Compare RAM, the Timers and their data  
RAM, and the Time Save RAM. Any of the RAM locations  
that are not being used for their intended purpose may be  
used as general purpose CMOS RAM.

Two independent multifunction 10 MHz 16-bit timers are  
provided. These timers operate in four modes. Each has its  
own prescaler and can select any of 8 possible clock inputs.  
Thus, by programming the input clocks and the timer coun-  
ter values a very wide range of timing durations can be  
achieved. The range is from about 400 ns (4.915 MHz oscil-  
lator) to 65,535 seconds (18 hrs., 12 min.).

Functional Description  
The DP8570A contains a fast access real time clock, two 10  
MHz 16-bit timers, interrupt control logic, power fail detect  
logic, and CMOS RAM. All functions of the TCP are con-  
trolled by a set of nine registers. A simplified block diagram  
that shows the major functional blocks is given in Figure 1.  
The memory map of the TCP is shown in the memory ad-  
dressing table. The memory map consists of two 31 byte  
pages with a main status register that is common to both  
pages. A control bit in the Main Status Register is used to  
select either page. Figure  
2 shows the basic concept.  
Page 0 contains all the clock timer functions, while page 1  
has scratch pad RAM. The control registers are split into  
two separate blocks to allow page 1 to be used entirely as  
scratch pad RAM. Again a control bit in the Main Status  
Register is used to select either control register block.  
The blocks are described in the following sections:  
1. Real Time Clock  
2. Oscillator Prescaler  
3. Interrupt Logic  
4. Power Failure Logic  
5. Additional Supply Management  
6. Timers

Save Enable bit (D7) of the Interrupt Routing Register, and  
then to write a zero. Writing a one into this bit will enable the  
clock contents to be duplicated in the Time Save RAM.  
Changing the bit from a one to a zero will freeze and store  
the contents of the clock in Time Save RAM. The time then  
can be read without concern for clock rollover, since inter-  
nal logic takes care of synchronization of the clock. Be-  
cause only the bits used by the clock counters will be  
latched, the Time Save RAM should be cleared prior to use  
to ensure that random data stored in the unused bits do not  
confuse the host microprocessor. This bit can also provide  
time save at power failure, see the Additional Supply Man-  
agement Functions section. With the Time Save Enable bit  
at a logical 0, the Time Save RAM may be used as RAM if  
the latched read function is not necessary.

the power fail circuitry to function correctly, whenever power  
is off, the V pin must see a path to ground through a  
CC  
maximum of 1 MX. The user should be aware that the con-  
trol registers will contain random data. The first task to be  
carried out in an initialization routine is to start the oscillator  
by writing to the crystal select bits in the Real Time Mode  
Register. If the DP8570A is configured for single supply  
mode, an extra 50 mA may be consumed until the crystal  
select bits are programmed. The user should also ensure  
that the TCP is not in test mode (see register descriptions).  
REAL TIME CLOCK FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
As shown in Figure 2, the clock has 10 bytes of counters,  
which count from 1/100 of a second to years. Each counter  
counts in BCD and is synchronously clocked. The count se-  
quence of the individual byte counters within the clock is  
shown later in Table VII. Note that the day of week, day of  
month, day of year, and month counters all roll over to 1.  
The hours counter in 12 hour mode rolls over to 1 and the  
AM/PM bit toggles when the hours rolls over to 12  
INITIALIZING AND WRITING TO THE  
CALENDAR-CLOCK  
Upon initial application of power to the TCP or when making  
time corrections, the time must be written into the clock. To  
correctly write the time to the counters, the clock would  
normally be stopped by writing the Start/Stop bit in the Real  
Time Mode Register to a zero. This stops the clock from  
counting and disables the carry circuitry. When initializing  
the clock’s Real Time Mode Register, it is recommended  
that first the various mode bits be written while maintaining  
the Start/Stop bit reset, and then writing to the register a  
second time with the Start/Stop bit set.  
e
counter.  
e
1). The AM/PM bit is bit D7 in the hours  
(AM  
0, PM  
All other counters roll over to 0. Also note that the day of  
year counter is 12 bits long and occupies two addresses.  
Upon initial application of power the counters will contain  
random information.  
The above method is useful when the entire clock is being  
corrected. If one location is being updated the clock need  
not be stopped since this will reset the prescaler, and time  
will be lost. An ideal example of this is correcting the hours  
for daylight savings time. To write to the clock ‘‘on the fly’’  
the best method is to wait for the 1/100 of a second period-  
ic interrupt. Then wait an additional 16 ms, and then write  
the data to the clock.  
READING THE CLOCK: VALIDATED READ  
Since clocking of the counter occurs asynchronously to  
reading of the counter, it is possible to read the counter  
while it is being incremented (rollover). This may result in an  
incorrect time reading. Thus to ensure a correct reading of  
the entire contents of the clock (or that part of interest), it  
must be read without a clock rollover occurring. In general  
this can be done by checking a rollover bit. On this chip the  
periodic interrupt status bits can serve this function. The  
following program steps can be used to accomplish this.  
PRESCALER/OSCILLATOR FUNCTIONAL  
DESCRIPTION  
Feeding the counter chain is a programmable prescaler  
which divides the crystal oscillator frequency to 32 kHz and  
further to 100 Hz for the counter chain (see Figure 3 ). The  
crystal frequency that can be selected are: 32 kHz, 32.768  
kHz, 4.9152 MHz, and 4.194304 MHz.  
1. Initialize program for reading clock.  
2. Dummy read of periodic status bit to clear it.  
3. Read counter bytes and store.  
4. Read rollover bit, and test it.  
5. If rollover occured go to 3.  
Once 32 kHz is generated it feeds both timers and the  
clock. The clock and timer prescalers can be independently  
enabled by controlling the timer or clock Start/Stop bits.  
6. If no rollover, done.  
To detect the rollover, individual periodic status bits can be  
polled. The periodic bit chosen should be equal to the high-  
est frequency counter register to be read. That is if only  
SECONDS through HOURS counters are read, then the  
SECONDS periodic bit should be used.  
READING THE CLOCK: INTERRUPT DRIVEN  
Enabling the periodic interrupt mask bits cause interrupts  
just as the clock rolls over. Enabling the desired update rate  
and providing an interrupt service routine that executes in  
less than 10 ms enables clock reading without checking for  
a rollover.  
READING THE CLOCK: LATCHED READ  
TL/F/8638–2  
Another method to read the clock that does not require  
checking the rollover bit is to write a one into the Time

Functional Description (Continued)  
The oscillator is programmed via the Real Time Mode Reg-  
ister to operate at various frequencies. The crystal oscillator  
is designed to offer optimum performance at each frequen-  
cy. Thus, at 32.768 kHz the oscillator is configured as a low  
frequency and low power oscillator. At the higher frequen-  
cies the oscillator inverter is reconfigured. In addition to the  
inverter, the oscillator feedback bias resistor is included on  
chip, as shown in Figure 4. The oscillator input may be driv-  
en from an external source if desired. Refer to test mode  
application note for details. The oscillator stability is en-  
hanced through the use of an on chip regulated power sup-  
ply.  
The interrupts are enabled by writing a one to the appropri-  
ate bits in Interrupt Control Register 0 and/or 1. Any of the  
interrupts can be routed to either the INTR pin or the MFO  
pin, depending on how the Interrupt Routing register is pro-  
grammed. This, for example, enables the user to dedicate  
the MFO as a non-maskable interrupt pin to the CPU for  
power failure detection and enable all other interrupts to  
appear on the INTR pin. The polarity for the active interrupt  
can be programmed in the Output Mode Register for either  
active high or low, and open drain or push pull outputs.

to Interrupt Control  
The typical range of trimmer capacitor (as shown in Oscilla-  
tor Circuit DiagramFigure 4, and in the typical application) at  
the oscillator input pin is suggested only to allow accurate  
tuning of the oscillator. This range is based on a typical  
printed circuit board layout and may have to be changed  
depending on the parasitic capacitance of the printed circuit  
board or fixture being used. In all cases, the load capaci-  
tance specified by the crystal manufacturer (nominal value  
11 pF for the 32.768 crystal) is what determines proper os-  
cillation. This load capcitance is the series combination of  
capacitance on each side of the crystal (with respect to  
ground).

The Interrupt Status Flag D0, in the Main Status Register,  
indicates the state of INTR and MFO outputs. It is set when  
either output becomes active and is cleared when all TCP  
interrupts have been cleared and no further interrupts are  
pending (i.e., both INTR and MFO are returned to their inac-  
tive state). This flag enables the TCP to be rapidly polled by  
the mP to determine the source of an interrupt in a wiredÐ  
OR interrupt system.  
Note that the Interrupt Status Flag will only monitor the state  
of the MFO output if it has been configured as an interrupt  
output (see Output Mode Register description). This is true,  
regardless of the state of the Interrupt Routing Register.  
Thus the Interrupt Status Flag provides a true reflection of  
all conditions routed to the external pins.  
Status for the interrupts are provided by the Main Status  
Register and the Periodic Flag Register. Bits D1D5 of the  
Main Status Register are the main interrupt bits.  
These register bits will be set when their associated timing  
events occur. Enabled Alarm or Timer interrupts that occur  
will set its Main Status Register bit to a one. However, an  
external interrupt will only be generated if the appropriate  
Alarm or Timer interrupt enable bits are set (see Figure 5 ).

Disabling the periodic bits will mask the Main Status Regis-  
ter periodic bit, but not the Periodic Flag Register bits. The  
Power Fail Interrupt bit is set when the interrupt is enabled  
and a power fail event has occurred, and is not reset until  
the power is restored. If all interrupt enable bits are 0 no  
interrupt will be asserted. However, status still can be read  
from the Main Status Register in a polled fashion (see Fig-  
ure 5 ).

INTERRUPT LOGIC FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
The TCP has the ability to coordinate processor timing ac-  
tivities. To enhance this, an interrupt structure has been im-  
plemented which enables several types of events to cause  
interrupts. Interrupts are controlled via two Control Regis-  
ters in block 1 and two Status Registers in block 0. (See  
Register Description for notes on paging and also Figure 5  
and Table I.)  
To clear a flag in bits D2D5 of the Main Status Register a 1  
must be written back into the bit location that is to be  
cleared. For the Periodic Flag Register reading the status  
will reset all the periodic flags.  
8
Functional Description (Continued)  
Interrupts Fall Into Four Categories:  
To generate periodic interrupts at the desired rate, the asso-  
ciated Periodic Interrupt Enable bit in Interrupt Control Reg-  
ister 0 must be set. Any combination of periodic interrupts  
may be enabled to operate simultaneously. Enabled period-  
ic interrupts will now affect the Periodic Interrupt Flag in the  
Main Status Register. The Periodic Route bit in the Interrupt  
Routing Register is used to route the periodic interrupt  
events to either the INTR output or the MFO output.  
1. The Timer Interrupts: For description see Timer Section.  
2. The Alarm Compare Interrupt: Issued when the value in  
the time compared RAM equals the counter.  
3. The Periodic Interrupts: These are issued at every incre-  
ment of the specific clock counter signal. Thus, an inter-  
rupt is issued every minute, second, etc. Each of these  
interrupts occurs at the roll-over of the specific counter.  
When a periodic event occurs, the Periodic Interrupt Flag in  
the Main Status Register is set, causing an interrupt to be  
generated. The mP clears both flag and interrupt by writing a  
‘‘1’’ to the Periodic Interrupt Flag. The individual flags in the  
periodic Interrupt Flag Register do not require clearing to  
cancel the interrupt.  
4. The Power Fail Interrupt: Issued upon recognition of a  
power fail condition by the internal sensing logic. The  
power failed condition is determined by the signal on the  
PFAIL pin. The internal power fail signal is gated with the  
chip select signal to ensure that the power fail interrupt  
does not lock the chip out during a read or write.  
If all periodic interrupts are disabled and a periodic interrupt  
is left pending (i.e., the Periodic Interrupt Flag is still set), the  
Periodic Interrupt Flag will still be required to be cleared to  
cancel the pending interrupt.  
ALARM COMPARE INTERRUPT DESCRIPTON  
The alarm/time comparison interrupt is a special interrupt  
similar to an alarm clock wake up buzzer. This interrupt is  
generated when the clock time is equal to a value pro-  
grammed into the alarm compare registers. Up to six bytes  
can be enabled to perform alarm time comparisons on the  
counter chain. These six bytes, or some subset thereof,  
would be loaded with the future time at which the interrupt  
will occur. Next, the appropriate bits in the Interrupt Control  
Register 1 are enabled or disabled (refer to detailed descrip-  
tion of Interrupt Control Register 1). The TCP then com-  
pares these bytes with the clock time. When all the enabled  
compare registers equal the clock time an alarm interrupt is  
issued, but only if the alarm compare interrupt is enabled  
can the interrupt be generated externally. Each alarm com-  
pare bit in the Control Register will enable a specific byte for  
comparison to the clock. Disabling a compare byte is the  
same as setting its associated counter comparator to an  
‘‘always equal’’ state. For example, to generate an interrupt  
at 3:15 AM of every day, load the hours compare with 0 3  
(BCD), the minutes compare with 1 5 (BCD) and the faster  
counters with 0 0 (BCD), and then disable all other compare  
registers. So every day when the time rolls over from  
3:14:59.99, an interrupt is issued. This bit may be reset by  
writing a one to bit D3 in the Main Status Register at any  
time after the alarm has been generated.  
POWER FAIL INTERRUPTS DESCRIPTION  
The Power Fail Status Flag in the Main Status Register  
monitors the state of the internal power fail signal. This flag  
may be interrogated by the mP, but it cannot be cleared; it is  
cleared automatically by the TCP when system power is  
restored. To generate an interrupt when the power fails, the  
Power Fail Interrupt Enable bit in Interrupt Control Register  
1 is set.  
The Power Fail Route bit determines which output the inter-  
rupt will appear on. Although this interrupt may not be  
cleared, it may be masked by clearing the Power Fail Inter-  
rupt Enable bit.  
POWER FAILURE CIRCUITRY FUNCTIONAL  
DESCRIPTION  
Since the clock must be operated from a battery when the  
main system supply has been turned off, the DP8570A pro-  
vides circuitry to simplify design in battery backed systems.  
This circuitry switches over to the back up supply, and iso-  
lates the DP8570A from the host system. Figure 6 shows a  
simplified block diagram of this circuitry, which consists of  
three major sections; 1) power loss logic: 2) battery switch  
over logic: and 3) isolation logic.  
If time comparison for an individual byte counter is disabled,  
that corresponding RAM location can then be used as gen-  
eral purpose storage.  
Detection of power loss occurs when PFAIL is low. De-  
bounce logic provides a 30 ms63 ms debounce time, which  
will prevent noise on the PFAIL pin from being interpreted  
as a system failure. After 30 ms63 ms the debounce logic  
times out and a signal is generated indicating that system  
power is marginal and is failing. The Power Fail Interrupt will  
then be generated.  
PERIODIC INTERRUPTS DESCRIPTION  
The Periodic Flag Register contains six flags which are set  
by real-time generated ‘‘ticks’’ at various time intervals, see  
Figure 5. These flags constantly sense the periodic signals  
and may be used whether or not interrupts are enabled.  
These flags are cleared by any read or write operation per-  
formed on this register.

The user may choose to have this power failed signal lock-

power failure is detected, a safety circuit will ensure that if a  
read or write is held active continuously for greater than  
30 ms after the power fail signal is asserted, the lock-out will  
be forced. If a lock-out delay is enabled, the DP8570A will  
remain active for 480 ms after power fail is detected. This  
will enable the mP to perform last minute bookkeeping be-  
fore total system collapse. When the host CPU is finished  
accessing the TCP it may force the bus lock-out before  
480 ms has elapsed by resetting the delay enable bit.

TIMER FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
The DP8570A contains 2 independent multi-mode timers.  
Each timer is composed of a 16-bit negative edge triggered  
binary down counter and associated control. The operation  
is similar to existing mP peripheral timers except that several  
features have been enhanced. The timers can operate in  
four modes, and in addition, the input clock frequency can  
be selected from a prescaler over a wide range of frequen-  
cies. Furthermore, these timers are capable of generating  
interrupts as well as hardware output signals, and both the  
interrupt and timer outputs are fully programmable active  
high, or low, open drain, or push-pull.  
The power fail circuitry contains active linear circuitry that  
draws supply current from V . In some cases this may be  
CC  
undesirable, so this circuit can be disabled by masking the  
power fail interrupt. The power fail input can perform all  
lock-out functions previously mentioned, except that no ex-  
ternal interrupt will be issued. Note that the linear power fail  
circuitry is switched off automatically when using V  
standby mode.  
in  
BB  
LOW BATTERY, INITIAL POWER ON DETECT, AND  
POWER FAIL TIME SAVE  
Figure 7 shows the functional block diagram of one of the  
timers. The timer consists of a 16-bit counter, two 8-bit input  
registers, two 8-bit output registers, clock prescaler, mode  
control logic, and output control logic. The timer and the  
data registers are organized as two bytes for each timer.  
Under normal operations a read/write to the timer locations  
will read or write to the data input register. The timer con-  
tents can be read by setting the counter Read bit (RD) in the  
timer control register.  
There are three other functions provided on the DP8570A to  
ease power supply control. These are an initial Power On  
detect circuit, which also can be used as a time keeping  
failure detect, a low battery detect circuit, and a time save  
on power failure.  
On initial power up the Oscillator Fail Flag will be set to a  
one and the real time clock start bit reset to a zero. This  
indicates that an oscillator fail event has occurred, and time  
keeping has failed.  
TIMER INITIALIZATION  
The timer’s operation is controlled by a set of registers, as  
listed in Table III. These consist of 2 data input registers and  
one control register per timer. The data input registers con-  
tain the timers count down value. The Timer Control Regis-  
ter is used to set up the mode of operation and the input  
clock rate. The timer related interrupts can be controlled by  
programming the Interrupt Routing Register and Interrupt  
Control Register 0. The timer outputs are configured by the  
Output Mode Register.  
The Oscillator Fail flag will not be reset until the real-time  
clock is started. This allows the system to discriminate be-  
tween an initial power-up and recovery from a power failure.  
If the battery backed mode is selected, then bit D6 of the  
Periodic Flag Register must be written low. This will not af-  
fect the contents of the Oscillator Fail Flag.  
Another status bit is the low battery detect. This bit is set  
only when the clock is operating under the V  
pin, and  
CC  
when the battery voltage is determined to be less than 2.1V  
(typical). When the power fail interrupt enable bit is low, it  
disables the power fail circuit and will also shut off the low  
battery voltage detection circuit as well.

To relieve CPU overhead for saving time upon power failure,  
the Time Save Enable bit is provided to do this automatical-  
ly. (See also Reading the Clock: Latched Read.) The Time  
Save Enable bit, when set, causes the Time Save RAM to  
follow the contents of the clock. This bit can be reset by  
software, but if set before a power failure occurs, it will auto-  
matically be reset when the clock switches to the battery  
supply (not when a power failure is detected by the PFAIL  
pin). Thus, writing a one to the Time Save bit enables both a  
software write or power fail write.

All these registers must be initialized prior to starting the

and PFAIL pins.  
CC  
The Oscillator Failed/Single Supply bit in the Periodic Flag  
Register should be set to a logic 1, which will disable the  
oscillator battery reference circuit. The power fail interrupt  
should also be disabled. This will turn off the linear power  
fail detection circuits, and will eliminate any quiescent power  
drawn through these circuits. Until the crystal select bits are  
initialized, the DP8570A may consume about 50 mA due to  
arbitrary oscillator selection at power on.  
TIMER OPERATION  
Each timer is capable of operation in one of four modes. As  
mentioned, these modes are programmed in each timer’s  
Control Register which is described later. All four modes  
operate in a similar manner. They operate on the two 8-bit  
data words stored into the Data Input Register. At the begin-  
ning of a counting cycle the 2 bytes are loaded into the timer  
and the timer commences counting down towards zero. The  
exact action taken when zero is reached depends on the  
mode selected, but in general, the timer output will change  
state, and an interrupt will be generated if the timer inter-  
rupts are unmasked.  
(This extra 50 mA is not consumed if the battery backed  
mode is selected).

ed. Suspending the timer causes the same synchronization  
error that starting the timer does. The range of errors is  
specified in Table V.  
The input frequency to the timers may be selected. Each  
timer has a prescaler that gives a wide selection of clocking  
rates. In addition, the DP8570A has a single external clock  
input pin that can be selected for either of the timers. Table  
IV shows the range of programmable clocks available and  
the corresponding setting in the Timer Control Register.

MODES OF OPERATION  
Bits M0 and M1 in the Timer Control Registers are used to  
specify the modes of operation. The mode selection is de-  
scribed in Table VI.  
Note that the second and third selections are not fixed fre-  
quencies, but depend on the crystal oscillator frequency  
chosen.

Since the input clock frequencies are usually running asyn-  
chronously to the timer Start/Stop control bit, a 1 clock cy-  
cle error may result. This error results when the Start/Stop  
occurs just after the clock edge (max error). To minimize  
this error on all clocks an independent prescaler is used for  
each timer and is designed so that its Start/Stop error is  
less than 1 clock cycle.

of the input data registers are loaded into the timer. The  
output will stay high until the counter reaches zero. At zero  
the output is reset. The result is an output pulse whose du-  
ration is equal to the input clock period times the count  
value (N) loaded into the input data register. This is shown  
in Figure 8.  
for one clock period of the timer clock. Then on the next  
clock the counter is reloaded automatically and the count-  
down repeats itself. The output, shown in Figure 9, is a  
waveform whose pulse width and period is determined by N,  
the input register value, and the input clock period:

An interrupt is generated when the zero count is reached.  
This can be used for one-time interrupts that are set to oc-  
cur a certain amount of time in the future. In this mode the  
Timer Start/Stop bit (TSS) is automatically reset upon zero  
detection. This removes the need to reset TSS before start-  
ing another operation.  
The G0 or G1 pin and the count hold/gate bit can be used  
to suspend the appropriate timer countdown when either is  
high. Again, the output polarity is controllable as in mode 0.  
If enabled, an interrupt is generated whenever the zero  
count is reached. This can be used to generate a periodic  
interrupt.  
The count down operation may be temporarily suspended  
either under software control by setting the Count Hold/  
Gate bit in the timer register high, or in hardware by setting  
the G0 or G1 pin high.  
MODE 2: SQUARE WAVE GENERATOR  
This mode is also cyclic but in this case a square wave  
rather than a pulse is generated. The output square wave  
period is determined by the value loaded into the timer input  
register. This period and the duty cycle are:  
The above discussion assumes that the timer outputs were  
programmed to be non-inverting outputs (active high). If the  
polarity of the output waveform is wrong for the application  
the polarity can be reversed by configuring the Output Mode  
Register. The drive configuration can also be programmed  
to be push pull or open drain.

When operating in this mode the timer will operate continu-

timer is started the input data register contents are loaded  
into the counter on the negative clock edge and the output  
is set high (again assuming the Output Mode Register is  
programmed active high). The timer will then count down to  
zero. Once the zero count is reached the output goes low  
a
continue. Thus, every N  
1 counts the output gets toggled,  
as shown in Figure 10. Like the other modes the timer oper-  
ation can be suspended either by software setting the count  
hold/gate bit (CHG) in the Timer Control Register or by us-  
ing the gate pins. An interrupt will be generated every falling  
edge of the timer output, if enabled.

Those users who find the error rate unacceptable may re-  
duce the problem effectively to zero by employing a hard-  
ware work-around that synchronizes the writing of the read  
bit to the timer control register with respect to the decre-  
menting clock. Refer to Figure 1 in Appendix A, for a sug-  
gested hardware work-around.

MODE 3: RETRIGGERABLE ONE SHOT  
A software work-around can reduce the errors but not as  
substantial as a hardware work-around. Software work-  
arounds are based on observations that the read following a  
bad read appeared to be valid.  
This mode is different from the previous three modes in that  
this is the only mode which uses the external gate to trigger  
the output. Once the timer Start/Stop bit is set the output  
stays inactive, and nothing happens until a positive tran-  
sition is received on the G1 or G0 pins, or the Count Hold/  
Gate (CHG) bit is set in the timer control register. When a  
transition ocurs the one shot output is set active immediate-  
ly; the counter is loaded with the value in the input register  
on the next transition of the input clock and the countdown  
begins. If a retrigger occurs, regardless of the current coun-  
ter value, the counters will be reloaded with the value in the  
input register and the counter will be restarted without  
changing the output state. See Figure 11. A trigger count  
can occur at any time during the count cycle and can be a  
hardware or software signal (G0, G1 or CHG). In this mode  
the timer will output a single pulse whose width is deter-  
mined by the value in the input data register (N) and the  
input clock period.  
This problem concerns statistical probability and is similar to  
metastability issues. For more information on metastability,

cuits Conference. paper by T.J. Gabara of AT&T Bell Labo-

and 10H for Timer 0 and 11H and 12H for Timer 1 will result  
in reading the input data register which contains the preset  
value for the timers.  
To read the contents of a timer, the mP first sets the timer  
read bit in the appropriate Timer Control Register high. This  
will cause the counters contents to be latched to 2-bit8-bit  
output registers, and will enable these registers to be read if  
the mP reads the timers input data register addresses. On  
reading the LSB byte the timer read bit is internally reset  
and subsequent reads of the timer locations will return the  
input register values.

Before entering mode 3, if a spurious edge has occurred on  
G0/G1 or the CHG bit is set to logic 1, then a pulse will  
appear at MFO or T1 or INTR output pin when the timer is  
started. To ensure this does not happen, do the following  
steps before entering mode 3: Configure the timer for mode  
0, load a count of zero, then start the timer.  
DETAILED REGISTER DESCRIPTION  
There are 5 external address bits: Thus, the host microproc-  
essor has access to 32 locations at one time. An internal  
switching scheme provides a total of 67 locations.  
The timer will generate an interrupt only when it reaches a  
count of zero. This timer mode is useful for continuous  
‘‘watch dog’’ timing, line frequency power failure detection,  
etc.  
This complete address space is organized into two pages.  
Page 0 contains two blocks of control registers, timers, real  
time clock counters, and special purpose RAM, while page  
1 contains general purpose RAM. Using two blocks enables  
the 9 control registers to be mapped into 5 locations. The  
only register that does not get switched is the Main Status  
Register. It contains the page select bit and the register  
select bit as well as status information.  
READING THE TIMERS  
National has discovered that some users may encounter  
unacceptable error rates for their applications when reading  
the timers on the fly asynchronously. When doing asynchro-  
nous reads of the timers, an error may occur. The error is  
that a successive read may be larger than the previous  
A memory map is shown in Figure 2 and register addressing

tions for the DP8570A.

D0: This read only bit is a general interrupt status bit that is  
taken directly from the interrupt pins. The bit is a one when  
an interrupt is pending on either the INTR pin or the MFO  
pin (when configured as an interrupt). This is unlike D3D5  
which can be set by an internal event but may not cause an  
interrupt. This bit is reset when the interrupt status bits in the  
Main Status Register are cleared.

the interrupts are pending. Once an interrupt is asserted the  
mP will read this register to determine the cause. These  
interrupt status bits are not reset when read. Except for D1,

TIMER 0 AND 1 CONTROL REGISTER  
D0D5: These bits are set by the real time rollover events:  
e

(Time Change  
1). The bits are reset when the register is  
D6: This bit performs a dual function. When this bit is read, a  
one indicates that an oscillator failure has occurred and the  
time information may have been lost. Some of the ways an  
oscillator failure may be caused are: failure of the crystal;  
shorting OSC IN or OSC OUT to GND or V ; removal of  
CC  
crystal; removal of battery when in the battery backed mode  
(when a ‘0’ is written to D6); lowering the voltage at the V  
BB  
pin to a value less than 2.2V when in the battery backed  
mode. Bit D6 is automatically set to 1 on initial power-up or  
an oscillator fail event. The oscillator fail flag is reset by  
writing a one to the clock start/stop bit in the Real Time  
Mode Register, with the crystal oscillating.  
TL/F/863815  
When D6 is written to, it defines whether the TCP is being  
used in battery backed (normal) or in a single supply mode  
application. When set to a one this bit configures the TCP  
for single power supply applications. This bit is automatically  
set on initial power-up or an oscillator fail event. When set,  
D6 disables the oscillator reference circuit. The result is that  
These registers control the operation of the timers. Each  
timer has its own register.  
D0: This bit will Start (1) or Stop (0) the timer. When the  
timer is stopped the timer’s prescaler and counter are reset,  
and the timer will restart from the beginning when started  
again. In mode 0 on time out the TSS bit is internally reset.  
the oscillator is referenced to V . When a zero is written to

referenced to V . This allows operation in standard battery  
BB  
standby applications.  
D3D5: These bits control which clock signal is applied to  
the timer’s counter input. There is one external clock input  
pin (TCK) and either (or both) timer(s) can be selected to  
run off this pin: refer to Table IV for details.  
At initial power on, if the DP8570A is going to be pro-

CC  
D6: This is the read bit. If a one is written into this location it  
will cause the contents of the timer to be latched into a  
holding register, which can be read by the mP at any time.  
Reading the least significant byte of the timer will reset the  
RD bit. The timer read cycle can be aborted by writing RD to  
zero.  
For single supply mode operation, the V pin should be  
BB  
connected to GND and the PFAIL pin connected to V  
.
CC  
D7: Writing a one to this bit enables the test mode register  
at location 1F (see Table VII). This bit should be forced to  
zero during initialization for normal operation. If the test  
mode has been entered, clear the test mode register before  
leaving test mode. (See separate test mode application  
note for further details.)  
D7: The CHG bit has two mode dependent functions. In  
modes 0 through 2 writing a one to this bit will suspend the  
timer operation (without resetting the timer prescaler). How-  
ever, in mode 3 this bit is used to trigger or re-trigger the  
count sequence as with the gate pins. If retriggering is de-  
sired using the CHG bit, it is not necessary to write a zero to  
this location prior to the re-trigger. The action of further writ-  
ing a one to this bit will re-trigger the count.  
INTERRUPT ROUTING REGISTER  
PERIODIC FLAG REGISTER  
TL/F/863817  
D0D4: The lower 5 bits of this register are associated with  
the main interrupt sources created by this chip. The purpose  
of this register is to route the interrupts to either the MFO  
(multi-function pin), or to the main interrupt pin. When any  
bit is set the associated interrupt signal will be sent to the  
MFO pin, and when zero it will be sent to the INTR pin.  
TL/F/863816  
The Periodic Flag Register has the same bit for bit corre-  
spondence as Interrupt Control Register 0 except for D6  
and D7. For normal operation (i.e., not a single supply appli-  
cation) this register must be written to on initial power up or  
after an oscillator fail event. D0D5 are read only bits, D6  
and D7 are read/write.  
17  
Functional Description (Continued)  
D5: The Delay Enable bit is used when a power fail occurs.  
D2: The count mode for the hours counter can be set to  
either 24 hour mode or 12 hour mode with AM/PM indicator.  
A one will place the clock in 12 hour mode.  
If this bit is set, a 480 ms delay is generated internally before  
the mP interface is locked out. This will enable the mP to  
access the registers for up to 480 ms after it receives a  
power fail interrupt. After a power failure is detected but  
prior to the 480 ms delay timing out, the host mP may force  
immediate lock out by resetting the Delay Enable bit. Note if  
this bit is a 0 when power fails then after a delay of 30 ms  
min/63 ms max the mP cannot read the chip.  
D3: This bit is the master Start/Stop bit for the clock. When  
a one is written to this bit the real time counter’s prescaler  
and counter chain are enabled. When this bit is reset to zero  
the contents of the real time counter is stopped and the  
prescaler is cleared. When the TCP is initially powered up  
this bit will be held at a logic 0 until the oscillator starts  
functioning correctly after which this bit may be modified. If  
an oscillator fail event occurs, this bit will be reset to logic 0.  
D6: This read only bit is set and reset by the voltage at the  
pin. It can be used by the mP to determine whether the  
V
BB  
battery voltage at the V pin is getting too low. A compara-  
BB  
D4: This bit controls the operation of the interrupt output in  
standby mode. If set to a one it allows Alarm, Periodic, and  
Power Fail interrupts to be functional in standby mode. Tim-  
er interrupts will also be functional provided that bit D5 is  
also set. Note that the MFO and INTR pins are configured  
as open drain in standby mode.  
tor monitors the battery and when the voltage is lower than  
2.1V (typical) this bit is set. The power fail interrupt must be  
enabled to check for a low battery voltage.  
D7: Time Save Enable bit controls the loading of real-time-  
clock data into the Time Save RAM. When a one is written  
to this bit the Time Save RAM will follow the corresponding  
clock registers, and when a zero is written to this bit the time  
in the Time Save RAM is frozen. This eliminates any syn-  
chronization problems when reading the clock, thus negat-  
ing the need to check for a counter rollover during a read  
cycle.  
If bit D4 is set to a zero then interrupt control register 0 and  
bits D6 and D7 of interrupt control register 1 will be reset  
l
when the TCP enters the standby mode (V  
BB  
V ). They  
CC  
will have to be re-configured when system (V ) power is  
CC  
restored.  
D5: This bit controls the operation of the timers in standby  
mode. If set to a one the timers will continue to function  
when the TCP is in standby mode. The input pins TCK, G0,  
G1 are locked out in standby mode, and cannot be used.  
This bit must be set to a one prior to power failing to enable  
the Time Save feature. When the power fails this bit is auto-  
matically reset and the time is saved in the Time Save RAM.  
Therefore external control of the timers is not possible in  
standby mode. Note also that MFO and T1 pins are auto-  
matically reconfigured open drain during standby.

D0D1: These are the leap year counter bits. These bits are  
written to set the number of years from the previous leap  
year. The leap year counter increments on December 31st  
and it internally enables the February 29th counter state.  
This method of setting the leap year allows leap year to  
occur whenever the user wishes to, thus providing flexibility  
in implementing Japanese leap year function.

Application Hints  
Suggested Initialization Procedure for DP8570A in bat-  
tery backed applications that use the V pin  
BB  
running. During the software loop, RAM, real time  
counters, output configuration, interrupt control and  
timer functions may be initialized.  
1. Enter the test mode by writing a 1 to bit D7 in the Period-  
ic Flag Register.  
6. Test bit D6 in the Periodic Flag Register:  
2. Write zero to the RAM/TEST mode Register located in  
page 0, address HEX 1F.  
IF a 1, go to 5.1. If this bit remains a 1 after 3 seconds,  
then abort and check hardware. The crystal may be de-  
fective or not installed. There may be a short at OSC IN  
3. Leave the test mode by writing a 0 to bit D7 in the Period-  
ic Flag Register. Steps 1, 2, 3 guarantee that if the test  
mode had been entered during power on (due to random  
pulses from the system), all test mode conditions are  
cleared. Most important is that the OSC Fail Disable bit is  
cleared. Refer to AN-589 for more information on test  
mode operation.  
or OSC OUT to V or GND, or to some impedance that  
CC  
is less than 10 MX.  
IF a 0, then the oscillator is running, go to step 7.  
7. Write a 0 to bit D6 in the Periodic Flag Register. This  
action puts the clock chip in the battery backed mode.  
This mode can be entered only if the osc fail flag (bit D6  
of the Periodic Flag Register) is a 0. Reminder, Bit D6 is  
a dual function bit. When read, D6 returns oscillator  
status. When written, D6 causes either the Battery  
Backed Mode, or the Single Supply Mode of operation.  
4. After power on (V  
and V powered), select the cor-  
BB  
CC  
rect crystal frequency bits (D7, D6 in the Real Time Mode  
Register) as shown in Table I.  
TABLE I  
The only method to ensure the chip is in the battery  
backed mode is to measure the waveform at the OSC
