DS1743/DS1743P Y2K-Compliant, Nonvolatile Timekeeping RAMs

6 of 16

CLOCK ACCURACY (DIP MODULE)

The DS1743 is guaranteed to keep time accuracy to within

±1 minute per month at +25°C. The RTC is

calibrated at the factory by Dallas Semiconductor using nonvolatile tuning elements, and does not require

additional calibration. For this reason, methods of field clock calibration are not available and not

necessary. The electrical environment also affects clock accuracy, so caution should be taken to place the

RTC in the lowest-level EMI section of the PC board layout. For additional information, please refer to

Application Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Dallas Real-Time Clocks.

CLOCK ACCURACY (PowerCap MODULE)

The DS1743 and DS9034PCX are each individually tested for accuracy. Once mounted together, the

module will typically keep time accuracy to within

±1.53 minutes per month (35ppm) at +25°C. The

electrical environment also affects clock accuracy, so caution should be taken to place the RTC in the

lowest-level EMI section of the PC board layout. For additional information, please refer to Application

Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Dallas Real-Time Clocks.

RETRIEVING DATA FROM RAM OR CLOCK

The DS1743 is in the read mode whenever

OE (output enable) is low, WE (write enable) is high, and CE

(chip enable) is low. The device architecture allows ripple-through access to any of the address locations in

providing that the,

CE and OE access times and states are satisfied. If CE, or OE access times and states

changed while

CE and OE remain valid, output data will remain valid for output data hold time (t

will then go indeterminate until the next address access.
