DESCRIPTION
The DS1644 is a 32k x 8 nonvolatile static RAM with a full function real time clock, which are both
accessible in a byte-wide format. The nonvolatile timekeeping RAM is functionally equivalent to any
JEDEC standard 32k x 8 SRAM. The device can also be easily substituted for ROM, EPROM and
EEPROM, providing read/write nonvolatility and the addition of the real time clock function. The real
time clock information resides in the eight uppermost RAM locations. The RTC registers contain year,
month, date, day, hours, minutes, and seconds data in 24-hour BCD format. Corrections for the day of the
month and leap year are made automatically. The RTC clock registers are double-buffered to avoid access
of incorrect data that can occur during clock update cycles. The double-buffered system also prevents
time loss as the timekeeping countdown continues unabated by access to time register data. The DS1644
also contains its own power-fail circuitry, which deselects the device when the V
CC
supply is in an out-of-
tolerance condition. This feature prevents loss of data from unpredictable system operation brought on by
low V
CC
as errant access and update cycles are avoided.
