General Description
Features
➤ Real-Time Clock counts seconds
The bq4845 Real-Time Clock is a
low-power microprocessor periph-
eral that integrates a time-of-day
clock, a 100-year calendar, and a
CPU supervisor in a 28-pin SOIC or
DIP. The bq4845 is ideal for fax ma-
chines, copiers, industrial control
syst em s, poin t -of-sa le t er m in a ls,
data loggers, and computers.
subsequently a microprocessor reset.
The reset stays active for 200ms after
VCC rises within tolerance, to allow for
power supply and processor stabiliza-
tion.

watchdog timer to monitor processor
operation. If the microprocessor does
not toggle the watchdog input (WDI)
within the programmed time-out pe-
riod, the bq4845 asserts WDO and
RST. WDI unconnected disables the
watchdog timer.

The bq4845 can generate other in-
terrupts based on a clock alarm con-
dit ion or a per iodic set t in g. Th e
alarm interrupt can be set to occur
from once per second to once per
month. The alarm can be made active
in the battery-backup mode to serve
as a system wake-up call. For inter-
rupts at a rate beyond once per sec-
ond, the periodic interrupt can be pro-
grammed with periods of 30.5µs to
500ms.
