NAME
FUNCTION
Active-Low Chip-Select Input. This pin must be asserted low during a bus cycle for the device
to be accessed.
CS
must be kept in the active state during
RD
and
WR.
Bus cycles that take
place without asserting
CS
latch addresses, but no access occurs.
Address Latch Enable Input, Active High. This input pin is used to demultiplex the
address/data bus. The falling edge of ALE causes the address to be latched within the device.
Active-Low Write Input. This pin defines the period during which data is written to the
addressed register.
Active-Low Read Input. This pin identifies the period when the device drives the bus with read
data. It is an enable signal for the output buffers of the device.
Active-Low Kickstart Input. When V
CC
is removed from the device, the system can be
powered on in response to an active-low transition on the
KS
pin, as might be generated from
a key closure. V
BAUX
must be present and auxiliary-battery-enable bit (ABE) must be set to 1 if
the kickstart function is used, and the
KS
pin must be pulled up to the V
BAUX
supply. While
V
CC
is applied, the
KS
pin can be used as an interrupt input. If not used,
KS
must be
grounded and ABE set to 0.
Active-Low Interrupt Request. This pin is an active-low output that can be used as an interrupt
input to a processor. The
IRQ
output remains low as long as the status bit causing the interrupt
is present and the corresponding interrupt-enable bit is set. To clear the
IRQ
pin, the
application software must clear all enabled flag bits contributing to the pin’s active state. When
no interrupt conditions are present, the
IRQ
level is in the high-impedance state. Multiple
interrupting devices can be connected to an
IRQ
bus, provided that they are all open drain.
The
IRQ
pin requires an external pullup resistor to V
CC
.
Connection for Primary Battery. This supply input is used to power the normal clock functions
when V
CC
is absent. Diodes placed in series between V
BAT
and the battery can prevent
proper operation. If V
BAT
is not required, the pin must be grounded. UL recognized to ensure
against reverse charging current when used with a lithium battery (
www.maxim-
ic.com/qa/info/ul).
This pin is missing (N.C.) on the EDIP package.
