Hundredths-of-Seconds
Generator
The hundredths-of-seconds generator circuit shown in
the functional diagram is a state machine that divides
the incoming frequency (4096Hz) by 41 for 24 cycles
and 40 for one cycle. This produces a 100Hz output
that is slightly off during the short term, and is exactly
correct every 250ms. The divide ratio is given by:
Ratio = [41 x 24 + 40 x 1] / 25 = 40.96
Thus, the long-term average frequency output is
exactly the desired 100Hz.
Clock and Calendar
The time and calendar information is obtained by read-
ing the appropriate register bytes. See Table 3 for the
RTC registers. The time and calendar are set or initial-
ized by writing the appropriate register bytes. The con-
tents of the time and calendar registers are in the bina-
ry-coded decimal (BCD) format. The day-of-week
register increments at midnight. Values that correspond
to the day-of-week are user-defined but must be
sequential (i.e., if 1 equals Sunday, then 2 equals
Monday, and so on). Illogical time and date entries
result in undefined operation. The DS1390–DS1393 can
run in either 12-hour or 24-hour mode. Bit 6 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 to 23 hours). Changing the 12/24-hour mode-
select bit requires that the hours data be re-entered,
including the alarm register (if used). The century bit
(bit 7 of the month register) is toggled when the years
register overflows from 99 to 00.
