4.8 Calibrating the clock
The M41T94 is driven by a quartz-controlled oscillator with a nominal frequency of
32,768 Hz. Uncalibrated clock accuracy will not exceed ±35 ppm (parts per million)
oscillator frequency error at 25°C, which equates to about ±1.53 minutes per month. When
the Calibration circuit is properly employed, accuracy improves to better than ±2 ppm at
25°C.
The oscillation rate of crystals changes with temperature (see Figure 14 on page 25).
Therefore, the M41T94 design employs periodic counter correction. The calibration circuit
adds or subtracts counts from the oscillator divider circuit at the divide by 256 stage, as
shown in Figure 15 on page 25. The number of times pulses are blanked (subtracted,
negative calibration) or split (added, positive calibration) depends upon the value loaded into
the five calibration bits found in the control register. Adding counts speeds the clock up,
subtracting counts slows the clock down.
The calibration bits occupy the five lower order bits (D4-D0) in the control register (8h).
These bits can be set to represent any value between 0 and 31 in binary form. Bit D5 is a
sign bit; '1' indicates positive calibration, '0' indicates negative calibration. Calibration occurs
within a 64 minute cycle. The first 62 minutes in the cycle may, once per minute, have one
second either shortened by 128 or lengthened by 256 oscillator cycles. If a binary '1' is
loaded into the register, only the first 2 minutes in the 64 minute cycle will be modified; if a
binary 6 is loaded, the first 12 will be affected, and so on.
