EM3027
Real Time Clock with I2C or SPI, Crystal Temperature
Compensation, Battery Switchover and Trickle Charger
Description
Features
The EM3027 is an Ultra Low Power CMOS real-time
clock IC with two serial interface modes: I2C or SPI. The
interface mode is selected by the chip version (see §12).
Fully operational from 2.1 to 5.5V
Supply current typically 600 nA at 1.4V
Thermal compensated crystal frequency
Oscillator stability 0.5 ppm / Volt
The basic clock is obtained from the 32.768 kHz crystal
oscillator. A thermal compensation of the frequency is
based on the temperature measurement and calculation
of the correction value. The temperature can be
measured internally or be input by an external application
to the register.
Counter for seconds, minutes, hours, day of week,
date months, years in BCD format and alarm
Leap year compensation
16-bits timer with 2 working modes
Two low voltage detection levels VLow1, VLow2
Automatic supply switchover
Serial communication via I2C (I2C-bus specification
Rev. 03 compatible – see §10.2) or SPI (3-line SPI-
bus with separate combinable data input and output)
The chip provides clock and calendar information in BCD
format with alarm possibility. The actual contents are
latched at the beginning of a read transmission and
afterwards data are read without clock counter data
corruption.
An integrated 16-bit timer can run in Zero-Stop or Auto-
Reload mode.
Thermometer readable by the host
Trickle charger to maintain battery charge
Integrated oscillator capacitors
An interrupt request signal can be provided through
INT/IRQ pin generated from alarm, timer, voltage
detector and Self-Recovery system.
Two EEPROM and 8 RAM data bytes for application
Digital Self-Recovery system
An integrated trickle charger allows recharging backup
supply VBack from the main supply voltage VCC through
internal resistor(s). The internal device supply will
switchover to VCC when VCC is higher than VBack and vice
versa.
No busy states and no risk of corrupted data while
accessing
One hour periodical configuration registers refresh
Support for standard UL1642 for Lithium batteries
Standard temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
Extended temperature range: -40°C to +125°C
Packages: TSSOP8, TSSOP14, SO8.
The device operates over a wide 1.4 to 5.5V supply
range and requires only 900 nA at 5V. It can detect
internally two supply voltage levels.
