bq4832Y
RTC Module With 32Kx8 NVSRAM
Features
General Description
Registers for the rea l-time clock,
alarm and other special functions
➤ Integrated SRAM, real-time
clock, CPU supervisor, crystal,
power-fail circuit, and battery
The bq4832Y RTC Module is a non-
volatile 262,144-bit SRAM organ-
ized as 32,768 words by 8 bits with
an integral real-time clock and CPU
supervisor. The CPU supervisor pro-
vides a pr ogr a m m a ble wa t ch dog
timer and a microprocessor reset.
O t h e r fe a t u r e s in clu d e a la r m ,
power-fail, and periodic interrupts,
and a battery-low warning.
a r e loca t ed in r egist er s 7F F 0h –
7FFFh of the memory array.
The clock and alarm registers are
du a l-por t r ea d/wr it e SRAM loca-
tions that are updated once per sec-
ond by a clock control circuit from
the internal clock counters. The
dual-port registers allow clock up-
dates to occur without interrupting
n or m a l a ccess t o t h e r est of t h e
SRAM array.
➤ Real-Time Clock counts hun-
dredths of seconds through years
in BCD format
➤ RAM-like clock access
➤ Compatible with industry-
standard 32K x 8 SRAMs

The bq4832Y also contains a power-
fail-detect circuit. The circuit dese-
lects the device whenever VCC falls
below tolerance, providing a high de-
gree of data security. The battery is
electrically isolated when shipped
from the factory to provide maxi-
mum battery capacity. The battery
remains disconnected until the first
