23 / 40 page M41T62/63/64/65 Clock operation 23/40 3.2 Calibrating the clock The M41T6x is driven by a quartz controlled oscillator with a nominal frequency of 32,768Hz. The accuracy of the Real-Time Clock depends on the frequency of the quartz crystal that is used as the time-base for the RTC. The accuracy of the clock is dependent upon the accuracy of the crystal, and the match between the capacitive load of the oscillator circuit and the capacitive load for which the crystal was trimmed. The M41T6x oscillator is designed for use with a 6pF crystal load capacitance. 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 20 on page 24). Therefore, the M41T6x 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 21 on page 24. The number of times pulses which are blanked (subtracted, negative calibration) or split (added, positive calibration) depends upon the value loaded into the five Calibration Bits found in the Calibration 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 Calibration Register (08h). 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. Therefore, each calibration step has the effect of adding 512 or subtracting 256 oscillator cycles for every 125,829,120 actual oscillator cycles, that is +4.068 or –2.034 PPM of adjustment per calibration step in the calibration register. Assuming that the oscillator is running at exactly 32,768 Hz, each of the 31 increments in the Calibration byte would represent +10.7 or –5.35 seconds per day which corresponds to a total range of +5.5 or –2.75 minutes per month (see Figure 21 on page 24). Two methods are available for ascertaining how much calibration a given M41T6x may require: ● The first involves setting the clock, letting it run for a month and comparing it to a known accurate reference and recording deviation over a fixed period of time. Calibration values, including the number of seconds lost or gained in a given period, can be found in Application Note AN934, “TIMEKEEPER® CALIBRATION.” This allows the designer to give the end user the ability to calibrate the clock as the environment requires, even if the final product is packaged in a non-user serviceable enclosure. The designer could provide a simple utility that accesses the Calibration byte. ● The second approach is better suited to a manufacturing environment, and involves the use of either the SQW pin (M41T62/63/64) or the IRQ/FT/OUT pin (M41T65). The SQW pin will toggle at 512Hz when RS3 = '0,' RS2 = '1,' RS1 = '1,' RS0 = '0,' SQWE = '1,' and ST = '0.' Alternatively, for the M41T65, the IRQ/FT/OUT pin will toggle at 512Hz when FT and OUT Bits = '1' and ST = '0.' Any deviation from 512Hz indicates the degree and direction of oscillator frequency shift at the test temperature. For example, a reading of 512.010124 Hz would indicate a +20 ppm oscillator frequency error, requiring a –10 (XX001010) to be loaded into the Calibration Byte for correction. Note that setting or changing the Calibration Byte does not affect the Frequency test or Square Wave output frequency. |
