4-wire Serial Interface
Rx5C348A/B
ꢀ OUTLINE
The Rx5C348A/B are CMOS real-time clock ICs connected to the CPU by four signal lines, CE, SCLK, SI, SO,
and configured to perform serial transmission of time and calendar data to the CPU. The periodic interrupt
circuit is configured to generate interrupt signals with six selectable interrupts ranging from 0.5 seconds to 1
month. The 2 alarm interrupt circuits generate interrupt signals at preset times. As the oscillation circuit is
driven under constant voltage, fluctuation of the oscillator frequency due to supply voltage is small, and the time
keeping current is small (TYP. 0.35µA at 3V: Rx5C348A, TYP.0.55µA at 3V: Rx5C348B). The oscillation halt
sensing circuit can be used to judge the validity of internal data in such events as power-on; The supply voltage
monitoring circuit is configured to record a drop in supply voltage below two selectable supply voltage monitoring
threshold settings. The 32.768kHz clock output function (N-channel open drain output) is intended to output
sub-clock pulses for the external microcomputer. The 32-kHz clock circuit can be disabled by certain register
settings for the Rx5C348A but cannot be disabled by any register settings for the Rx5C348B. The oscillation
adjustment circuit is intended to adjust time counts with high precision by correcting deviations in the oscillation
frequency of the crystal oscillator. These models come in an ultra-compact SSOP10 (RS5C348A/B), SSOP10G
(RV5C348A/B), TSSOP10G (RT5C348B)
