Using the DS87C530/DS5250 Real

Abstract: The Dallas Semiconductor DS87C530 high-speed microcontroller with real-time clock (RTC) is ideal for applications such as data logging. This application note examines temperature-measuring techniques interfacing to the DS1620 digital thermometer and thermostat. Time measurements and alarm settings using the DS87C530 are also discussed. Example code is included in this application note.

Overview

The DS87C530 and DS5250 incorporate a real-time clock (RTC) and alarm to allow the user to perform real-world timing operations such as time-stamping an event, performing a task at a specific time, or executing very long timing delays. Although software timing loops or internal timers could be used for such measurements, they are crystal dependent, inefficient for long time measurements, and are incompatible with the use of power management modes. Integration of the RTC means that only a 32.768kHz crystal is required. No load capacitors are required with the RTC crystal. The RTC is controlled by dedicated Special Function Registers (SFRs).

The RTC consists of subsecond, second, minute, hour, day of the week, and two total day count registers. In addition there is an alarm register for the subsecond, seconds, minutes, and hours registers. The subsecond register provides a resolution of 1/256 of a second and a maximum rollover count of 1 second. The registers and control bits used by the RTC are shown in Table 1. Bits and registers designated as unchanged after a reset may be indeterminate following a no-battery reset. Consult the full bit or register description for complete details.

Both user software and the internal clock directly write and read the RTC time registers (RTCSS, RTCS, RTCM, RTCH, RTCD0, RTCD1). To prevent the possibility of both user software and the internal timer accessing the same register simultaneously, the DS87C530 incorporates a register locking mechanism. Updates to the RTC time registers by the internal timer are temporarily suspended for up to 1ms during software read or write operations. If a subsecond timer tick should occur in the 1ms window, it will be processed immediately as soon as either the RTCWE or RTCRE bits are cleared. To prevent the possibility of an accidental write to the RTC time registers, the RTCWE bit should be cleared as soon as the planned modifications are complete. As a protective measure, the device will clear the RTCWE bit automatically after 1ms if it has not been cleared in software. To allow any pending timer ticks to be processed, software must wait four machine cycles between any successive modifications of the RTCWE or RTCRE bits.

This scheme will not affect the accuracy of the RTC, as any subsecond timer tick that may occur during the read or write window is only temporarily delayed, not discarded. Only the recognition of that single subsecond timer tick is delayed, and subsequent ticks will be synchronized with the clock. The only possible implication with respect to RTC operation occurs if a timer tick that would cause an alarm interrupt occurred during a time register read operation. In that case, the alarm would be delayed a fraction of a millisecond until the RTCRE bit was cleared. As mentioned, the next subsecond timer tick will occur at the proper time, so the long-term clock accuracy will not be affected.

It is critical that the 4-machine cycle setup and 1ms window timings be observed. Any reads from the time registers before the 4-machine cycle period may return an invalid time. Writes to the time registers before the 4-machine cycle period will be ignored. Similarly, any RTC time register operations outside of the 1ms window will result in invalid read operations or ignored write operations. For this reason, interrupts should be globally disabled before modifying any RTC register.

Starting And Stopping The RTC

The operation of the RTC crystal amplifier is controlled by the RTC Enable bit, RTCE (RTCC.0). This bit can only be accessed by a Timed Access procedure and is unaffected by any operational reset. The state of the RTCE bit is undefined after a no-battery reset, however, and should be initialized. Clearing the RTC Enable bit will halt operation of the crystal amplifier and the clock, but all register values (including the time when the clock was disabled) will be retained. This may be desirable to preserve the life of the backup energy source during periods of storage. When restarting the RTC crystal oscillator, either from a no-battery reset condition or by setting the RTC Enable bit, the crystal start-up time must be observed. There is no direct way to detect when the RTC crystal oscillator has stabilized, and the system software must allow sufficient stabilization time when restarting the RTC. Crystal startup times are specified by the crystal manufacturer, but are usually on the order of 1 second.

After a loss of battery power or when attaching a battery for the first time it will be necessary to initialize the RTC. Although there is no status bit to indicate a no-battery reset, there are several ways to detect when the real-time clock has lost power/time. The best way is to monitor a reserved location in on-board memory. Because the on-chip SRAM contents are preserved by the same energy source as the RTC, an unexpected change in a previously loaded memory location can indicate a loss of battery power.

Reading The Time

Reading the current time from the RTC is accomplished by the following procedure:

1. Disable all interrupts by clearing the EA bit (IE.7)
2. Set the RTCRE bit (RTCC.3)
3. Wait 4 machine cycles
4. Read the appropriate register(s) within 1ms of RTCRE being set
5. Clear the RTCRE bit (RTCC.3)
6. Enable interrupts by setting the EA bit (IE.7)

Setting The Time

The time is set by writing to the Clock Registers. The Second, Minute, Hour, Day of the Week, and Day Count can be set by writing to the respective registers. It is not possible to set the Real-time Clock Subsecond Register (RTCS; FBh). This register is automatically reset to 00h when the RTCWE bit is cleared, either through software or the automatic time-out of the 1ms write window. The procedure for setting an RTC time register is as follows:

1. Disable all interrupts by clearing the EA bit (IE.7)
2. Perform a Timed Access procedure
3. Set the RTCWE bit (RTCC.2)
4. Wait 4 machine cycles
5. Write the appropriate register(s) within 1ms of RTCWE being set
6. Perform a Timed Access procedure
7. Clear the RTCWE bit (RTCC.2)
8. Enable interrupts by setting the EA bit (IE.7)

Using The RTC Alarm

The RTC alarm function is used to generate an interrupt when the RTC value matches selected alarm register values. An alarm can be triggered by a match on one or more of the following alarm registers: Subsecond (RTASS;F2h), Second (RTAS; F3h), Minute (RTAM; F4h), and Hour (RTAM; F5h). Note that there is no alarm register associated with the RTC Day or Day of Week Registers. If an alarm is desired on a specific date, an alarm can be executed once a day and user software can compare the current date against the Day Register. It is not necessary to set the RTC Write Enable bit when setting the alarm registers.

The alarm can be set to occur on a match with any or all of the alarm registers. An alarm can occur on a unique time of day, or a recurring alarm can be programmed every subsecond, second, minute, or hour. The specific alarm registers to be compared are selected by setting or clearing the corresponding compare enable bits (RTCC.7-4). Any compare bit which is cleared will result in that register being treated as a 'Don't Care' when evaluating alarm conditions. Clearing all the compare enable bits will disable the ability of the RTC to cause an interrupt, and will immediately clear the RTC Interrupt Flag (RTCC.1). Unlike some interrupts, the RTC flag is not cleared by exiting the RTC interrupt service routine and must be done in software.

The general procedure for setting the RTC alarm registers to cause a RTC interrupt is as follows:

1. Clear the RTC Interrupt Enable bit (EIE.5)
2. Clear all RTC Alarm Compare enable bits (ANL RTCC, #0Fh)
3. Write one or more RTC Alarm registers
4. Set the desired RTC Alarm Compare enable bits
5. Set the RTC Interrupt Enable bit (EIE.5)
6. Setting the alarm to cause an interrupt for a single time during a 24-hour period is done by setting all the alarm registers to the desired value and enabling all compare bits. For example, if an alarm was desired at 11:45:00 am, the following configuration would be used:
   
   

   Alarm Subsecond (RTASS)	00 subseconds	= 00h
   Alarm Second (RTAS)	00 seconds	= 00h
   Alarm Minute (RTAM)	45 minutes	=2Dh
   Alarm Hour (RTAH)	11 hours	=0Bh
   Clock Control (RTCC)	subsecond compare	= F1h
   ?	second compare	?
   ?	minute compare	?
   ?	hour compare	?

A recurring alarm is enabled by disabling the compare enable bits associated with one or more alarm registers. In general, a recurring alarm is set using the next lower time increment. For example, if an alarm once an hour were desired, a compare on the RTAM Register would be performed, because the RTCM register will match RTAM register only once an hour. For example, if an alarm once an hour on the half hour were desired, the following configuration would be used:

Alarm Subsecond (RTASS)	00 subseconds	= 00h
Alarm Second (RTAS)	00 seconds	= 00h
Alarm Minute (RTAM)	30 minutes	= 1Eh
Alarm Hour (RTAH)	11 hours	=00h
Clock Control (RTCC)	subsecond compare	= E1h
?	second compare	?
?	minute compare	?
?	RTC enable	?

In the above example, the subsecond, second, and minute registers are programmed and the corresponding compare enable bits are set, even though only a match on the minute register is desired. This is because a don't care is always treated as a match for the purposes of evaluating alarms. If the SSCE and SCE bits were cleared to 0 (don't care) in the above example, then a match (and interrupt) would occur during every subsecond of the minute in which the RTAM register matched. This would cause 15,360 interrupts, which is most likely not the desired effect. In general, when specifying a recurring alarm, all the compare bits below the largest time increment should be enabled and the corresponding alarm registers loaded with 00h or a known value.

Alarms can occur synchronously when the clock rolls over to match the alarm condition or asynchronously if the alarm registers are set to a value that matches the current time. Note that only one alarm may occur per subsecond tick. This means that if a synchronous alarm has already occurred during the current subsecond, software cannot cause an asynchronous alarm in the same subsecond.

While this is a relatively minor point, it can have implications if software expects to use the asynchronous capabilities of the alarm. For example, assume an RTC interrupt occurs as when the alarm registers match the current time a 01:00:00:00 (1 hour, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, 0 subseconds). The RTC interrupt is relatively short, taking much less than one subsecond tick (< 4ms), and execution returns to the main program. Immediately upon exiting the RTC interrupt routine, an event occurs that requires software to cause an alarm on the hour by setting the alarm to match on 00 minutes, 00 seconds, 00 subseconds. Normally, setting this alarm condition with the time at 01:00:00:00 would immediately cause an RTC interrupt to occur; but because we have already had an alarm in this subsecond, the condition will not be recognized. The alarm will be missed because it will not be evaluated until the next subsecond tick, when the time will have changed to 01:00:00:01. The designer should guard against the possibility of using synchronous asynchronous alarms in the same subsecond.

Because an alarm condition can occur asynchronously, care must be exercised that a match is not accidentally enabled while writing to the alarm registers. For example, assume that the current time is 0B:00:00:00 and the current alarm conditions are 00:00:00:00. Suppose that software changes the alarm to 0B:01:00:00. If the hour, second, minute, and subsecond compare enables are enabled and the first instruction is MOV RTCH, #0B0H, an alarm will occur immediately instead of at the intended time. The best way to avoid this is to disable all compare enables before changing the RTC alarm registers.

RTC Software Tricks

There are a number of simple tricks that can be used to simplify software associated with RTC operations. The 4-machine cycle delay can be performed using a CJNE A,A,$ instruction. Compared to using 4 NOPs, this is a single instruction, and is 1 byte shorter.

The RTC allows software to dynamically vary the alarm registers to achieve a wide range of intervals. Often software will want to interrupt regularly on half-increments of time (every 30 seconds, 30 minutes, etc.). This can be easily done using the XRL instruction. For example, if the RTAM register is set to 00h, the instruction XRL RTAM, #1Eh will change the contents to 1Eh. Performing the instruction again will change it back to 00h. Placing this instruction at the start of the RTC interrupt routine will cause the appropriate alarm register to be easily and quickly modified each time the interrupt is called.

Program Example: DATALOGGER

The following program illustrates a generic scheme for operating a remote data logging station. In this example, a DS87C530 is awakened from Stop mode every 30 minutes to read the temperature from a Dallas Semiconductor DS1620 Digital Thermometer and Thermostat. The DS1620 is addressed via serial port 0, using serial mode 0. When the interrupt is called, the DS87C530 will use the ring oscillator to perform a fast resume from Stop and signal the thermostat to begin a temperature conversion. It will then reset the RTC alarm to occur again in 1 second. This will allow time for the conversion and the crystal warm-up period to complete, after which the device will automatically switch back to the crystal as the clock source. The DS87C530 will read the temperature and transmit it, along with the hour and minute, back to a host system connected to serial port 1. It will then return to Stop mode to await the next alarm. Figure 1 shows a partial schematic for interfacing the DS87C530 and DS1620. If the DS1620 is to be separated from the microcontroller by a long distance, filtering may be necessary on the clock and data lines to reduce noise.

RTC Crystal Considerations

The most important factor in the accuracy of the RTC (or any oscillator) is the characteristics of the oscillator crystal. The DS87C530 is rated for an accuracy of ±2 minutes per month over the full operating range of the device. Even higher accuracy can be obtained by controlling the temperature of the device and using the RTC calibration procedures described later. The DS87C530 has been designed to operate with 32.768kHz RTC crystals with a load capacitance (CL) of 6pF or 12.5pF. Unlike some crystal amplifiers, no external load capacitors are needed with the RTC crystal.

Dallas Semiconductor products are compatible with industry standard crystals. Table 2 shows a number of common 32.768kHz crystals. This list is by no means exhaustive, and the inclusion or exclusion of any vendor from this list is in no way a comment on the suitability of a specific crystal in a customer's application.

	KS-309G-12P5200	12.5pF	SMT

Selecting Load Capacitance

The value of CL has the most bearing on the long-term accuracy of the RTC. This parameter specifies the capacitive load that the crystal needs to "see" across its pins to oscillate at its rated frequency. Note that CL is not the capacitance of the crystal itself, but rather the capacitance of the oscillator circuit and any capacitors connected to the crystal. Using a crystal that has a different CL than the actual load capacitance of the circuit will affect the frequency of the oscillator. In general, using a crystal with a CL that is larger than the load capacitance of the oscillator circuit will cause the oscillator to run faster than the specified nominal frequency of the crystal, and vice versa.

The DS87C530 defaults to a mode which makes it compatible with a 12.5pF crystal, but can be switched to 6pF by clearing the RTC Capacitance Select bit X12/6 (TRIM.6). Although both crystal types will remain within the specified accuracy, each has a different advantage. The reduced loading of a 6pF crystal will reduce the power consumption of the RTC crystal oscillator by 25 to 50 percent, increasing the life of the backup battery. A 12.5pF crystal, however, is less affected by noise and will maintain a higher accuracy over an extended time. Changing the capacitance of the RTC crystal amplifier has no effect on the system clock crystal attached to the X1 and X2 pins.

Fine-Tuning the Oscillator Frequency

Although the DS87C530 RTC is designed to oscillate at exactly 32.768kHz, variations in the device, crystal, temperature, and board layout can produce minor timing variations. By adjusting the RTC Trim Bits located in the RTC Trim Register (TRIM;96h), the internal capacitance of the RTC circuitry can be slightly adjusted to improve timing accuracy beyond the minimum specified. Although the trim bits do not correspond to an absolute value of capacitance or frequency shift, they provide a relative adjustment.

Please note that under normal circumstances, adjusting the RTC Trim Bits is not necessary. Upon a no-battery reset, the DS87C530 will reset its internal capacitance to a default value which will guarantee the minimum accuracy specified. If you do not require accuracy better than 2 minutes per month, please skip this section.

To aid the user in determining the true frequency of the RTC, a 4096Hz signal derived from the 32.768kHz crystal is available on the P1.7 pin by setting the E4K bit (TRIM.7). This can be measured with a frequency counter to determine the RTC frequency. Do not attempt to measure the frequency of the RTC at the leads of the crystal. The capacitance of oscilloscope probes will distort the operation of the crystal and report erroneous values. The error of the RTC in minutes per month can be calculated from the following formula:

(P1.7 Frequency - 4096.000Hz)*(10.547) [minutes/month]

Note that this error is calculated at a specific temperature and voltage. Crystal characteristics change over temperature, and the designer is advised to characterize the error over the system's range of expected operating conditions.

The trim register features extensive protection to avoid accidental corruption. All of the bits of the trim register require a Timed Access procedure to modify them. In addition, writes to the trim register must be done in complementary pairs. Each of the three trim bits has a complement bit which must be set simultaneously. This is to ensure that any writes to the TRIM register are intentional. If an invalid bit sequence is written to the trim bits, the TRIM register will reset to 0x100101 binary. This is the no-battery reset value, except that the X12/6 bit will remain unchanged. The settings of the TRIM bits do not correspond to an absolute value of capacitance or frequency, and are only used to provide a relative adjustment.

To adjust the RTC trim bits, place the device into the target system with the selected crystal and remove any sources of loading from P1.7. Then attach a frequency counter to P1.7 and perform the following procedure.

1. Perform a Timed Access procedure
2. Set TRIM.7, E4K, and modify the TRMx bits, writing their complements to the TRMx bits in the same instruction. This will enable the external 4096Hz signal on P1.7.
3. Record the frequency
4. Repeat steps 1-3 eight times until all combinations of TRM0, TRM1, TRM2 have been measured.

After all the measurements have been taken, the measurement closest to 4096.00Hz is the most accurate setting of the TRMx bits. Program this value into the TRIM register for the maximum accuracy. An example program is provided below.

Program Example: RTC Calibration

The following program example is provided to assist system designers in calibrating their RTC for maximum accuracy. It demonstrates how to set the RTC trim bits and pause the program to allow time to read the frequency output on P1.7.

Noise and Crystal Layout Guidelines

The crystal inputs of the RTC (RTCX1, RTCX2) have a very high impedance. Unfortunately, this can cause the leads to the crystal to function as antennae, coupling high frequency signals into the RTC circuitry from the rest of the system. This can lead to a distortion of the crystal oscillator signal, resulting in extra or missed clock edges. In most situations high frequency noise will present the greatest problem, causing the clock to run fast.

The following procedure can be used to determine if noise is the cause of the inaccuracy of a RTC:

1. Power the system up and synchronize the RTC to a known, accurate clock
2. Remove VCC to the device (but maintain VBAT)
3. Wait for a long period of time (24 hours)
4. Apply VCC, read the RTC, and compare to the known, accurate clock
5. Resynchronize the RTC to the known, accurate clock
6. Keep system powered up and wait for the same period of time in step 3
7. Read RTC and compare to the known, accurate clock.

The above procedure allows the designer to measure the inaccuracy of the clock both when the system is operating and when it is powered down. If the clock appears less accurate when powered up, the most likely culprit is system noise. If the inaccuracy remains whether the system is on or off, then the cause is most likely not system noise.

Because the crystal pins are highly susceptible to coupling noise, care must be taken when locating the external crystal on the PCB and when routing traces. The following guidelines are presented to reduce the effect of external noise on the RTC.

1. Place the crystal as close as possible to the RTCX1 and RTCX2 pins. Short traces reduce stray capacitance and noise coupling.
2. Keep the use small crystal bond pads and short traces to the RTCX1 and RTCX2 pins. Larger pads and longer traces are more likely to couple noise from adjacent circuits.
3. Place a ground guard ring around the crystal. This helps isolate the crystal from adjacent signals
4. Avoid routing signals beneath the crystal or RTCX1/RTCX2 traces. This helps isolate the crystal from adjacent signals. It is especially important to keep high frequency signals and devices as far away from the crystal as possible.
5. Place a local ground plane directly beneath the ground guard ring. This helps isolate the crystal from signal layers below the crystal.

Figure 2 shows the recommended placemAent of the RTC crystal, guard ring, and ground plane. The illustration shows one common orientation for a 4-pin surface mount crystal, but pin orientations will vary between manufacturers and package types.
