Oscillation Adjustment Circuit
The oscillation adjustment circuit can be used to correct a time count gain or loss with high precision by varying
the number of 1-second clock pulses once per 20 seconds. The oscillation adjustment circuit can be disabled
by writing the settings of "*, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, *" ("*" representing "0" or "1") to the F6, F5, F4, F3, F2, F1, and F0 bits
in the oscillation adjustment circuit. Conversely, when such oscillation adjustment is to be made, an appropriate
oscillation adjustment value can be calculated by the equation below for writing to the oscillation adjustment
circuit.
(1) When Oscillation Frequency (* 1) Is Higher Than Target Frequency (* 2) (Causing Time Count Gain)
Oscillation adjustment value (*3) = (Oscillation frequency - Target Frequency + 0.1)
Oscillation frequency × 3.051 × 10-6
≈ (Oscillation Frequency – Target Frequency) × 10 + 1
* 1) Oscillation frequency:
Frequency of clock pulse output from the 32KOUT pin at normal temperature in the manner described
in " P.28 ꢁ Measurement of Oscillation Frequency ".
* 2) Target frequency:
Desired frequency to be set. Generally, a 32.768-kHz crystal oscillator has such temperature
characteristics as to have the highest oscillation frequency at normal temperature. Consequently,
the crystal oscillator is recommended to have target frequency settings on the order of 32.768 to
32.76810 kHz (+3.05ppm relative to 32.768 kHz). Note that the target frequency differs depending
on the environment or location where the equipment incorporating the RTC is expected to be
operated.
* 3) Oscillation adjustment value:
Value that is to be finally written to the F0 to F6 bits in the Oscillation Adjustment Register and is
represented in 7-bit coded decimal notation.
(2) When Oscillation Frequency Is Equal To Target Frequency (Causing Time Count neither Gain nor Loss)
Oscillation adjustment value = 0, +1, -64, or –63
(3) When Oscillation Frequency Is Lower Than Target Frequency (Causing Time Count Loss)
Oscillation adjustment value = (Oscillation frequency - Target Frequency)
Oscillation frequency × 3.051 × 10-6
≈ (Oscillation Frequency – Target Frequency) × 10
Oscillation adjustment value calculations are exemplified below
(A) For an oscillation frequency = 32768.85Hz and a target frequency = 32768.05Hz
Oscillation adjustment value = (32768.85 - 32768.05 + 0.1) / (32768.85 × 3.051 × 10-6)
≈ (32768.85 - 32768.05) × 10 + 1
= 9.001 ≈ 9
In this instance, write the settings ((0),F6,F5,F4,F3,F2,F1,F0)=(0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1) in the oscillation adjustment
register. Thus, an appropriate oscillation adjustment value in the presence of any time count gain represents a
distance from 01h.
(B) For an oscillation frequency = 32762.22Hz and a target frequency = 32768.05Hz
Oscillation adjustment value = (32762.22 - 32768.05) / (32762.22 × 3.051 × 10-6)
≈ (32762.22 - 32768.05) × 10
= -58.325 ≈ -58
To represent an oscillation adjustment value of - 58 in 7-bit coded decimal notation, subtract 58 (3Ah) from 128
(80h) to obtain 46h. In this instance, write the settings of ((0),F6,F5,F4,F3,F2,F1,F0) = (0,1,0,0,0,1,1,0) in the
oscillation adjustment register. Thus, an appropriate oscillation adjustment value in the presence of any time
count loss represents a distance from 80h.
