DATA RETENTION MODE

The 5V device is fully accessible and data can be written or read only when Vcc is greater than VPF. However, when Vcc is below

the power fail point, VPF (point at which write protection occurs), the internal clock registers and SRAM are blocked from any

access. When Vcc falls below the battery switch point, Vso (battery supply level), device power is switched from the Vcc pin to the

backup battery. RTC operation and SRAM data are maintained from the battery until Vcc is returned to nominal levels.

The 3.3V device is fully accessible and data can be written or read only when Vcc is greater than VPF. When Vcc fall as below the

VPF, access to the device is inhibited. If VPF is less than VBAT, the device power is switched from Vcc to the backup supply (VBAT)

when Vcc drops below VPF. If VPF is greater than VBAT, the device power is switched from Vcc to the backup supply (VBAT) when

Vcc drops below VBAT. RTC operation and SRAM data are maintained from the battery until Vcc is returned to nominal levels.

All control, data, and address signals must be powered down when Vcc is powered down.

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 that 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.

Data transfer to and from the timekeeping function is accomplished with a serial bit stream under control of the chip enable, output

enable, and write enable. Initially, a read cycle to any memory location using the

and 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

and 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 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 (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 receiver or transmit data on DQ0,

depending on the level of the pin or the pin. Cycles to other locations outside the memory block can be interleaved with

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 eight 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 (BCD) format. Reading and writing the registers is always

accomplished by stepping through all eight registers, starting with bit 0 of register 0 and ending with bit 7 of register 7.
