RTCs or Real Time Clocks are a critical component for providing accurate time measurement for various electronic applications. DS3232S#T&R is a versatile RTC family from Maxim Integrated that is designed for a broad range of timing applications and demanding environments. In this article, the application field and working principle of DS3232S#T&R will be discussed.

Overview

The DS3232S#T&R family offers a range of features and performance that is ideal for timing applications in a variety of industries. It is a family of low power, high accuracy, RTCs that use multiple-time programmable chips with different features. The family includes dedicated crystal oscillator frequency accuracy grade of either 25 ppm or 50 ppm, and tick rates of 1 Hz, 4 kHz or 32.768 kHz. This provides the designer with a wide range of application-specific options.

The generic packages used in the DS3232S#T&R family include a standard housing for SOT23-6 and a low-cost 4x4 mm UDFN package that is lead-free and RoHS compliant, and the products are qualified for the automotive grade temperature range of-40°C to +125°C.

Application Field

The DS3232S#T&R offers a wide variety of features that make it well-suited to a wide range of applications. It can be used in consumer applications such as TVs, DVRs, and gaming systems, in industrial applications for programmable logic controllers and process control systems, and in automotive applications for navigation and media systems. In addition, the family is designed for harsh environmental operating conditions, making it a good choice for applications such as medical and military).

Working Principle

DS3232S#T&R RTCs use an integrated crystal oscillator (XO) to maintain very precise real time with excellent frequency accuracy, stability and low power consumption. The XO allows the RTC to compensate for aging, temperature, and other environmental variations, providing reliable and consistent operation over an extended period of time. The XO also allows the user to choose a frequency accuracy grade between 25 ppm and 50 ppm.

DS3232S#T&R also features a multiple time programmable RTC with a variety of features and programmable options. The family features a flexible time count register design that supports time counting to days, seconds or hours, and a wide range of programmable alarms, including single, periodic, extended and watchdog. The registers are designed for 32-bit accuracy and extend the function of the RTC to 10-year life.

The RTCs also feature a deep power-down mode that can reduce the current draw of the device to just 5 nA, which is less than 5% of the active current draw. This increases the battery life of the device in applications that require extended battery life or low-power operation.

DS3232S#T&R also features a single pulse per second (1PPS) output, which is ideal for applications that require time synchronization with GPS or other time sources. The 1PPS is programmable and can be used as an event marker to indicate a specific time. The 1PPS can also be used as an alarm interrupt pin that can be used to trigger an action when a specific time is reached.

The RTCs also feature a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +125°C, which makes them well-suited for a variety of industrial, military and medical applications. The family is also designed to meet the requirements of automotive grade applications.

In conclusion, the DS3232S#T&R RTCs provide excellent performance for a wide range of clock/timing applications and demanding environments. The family offers multiple-time programs and excellent operating temperature range, as well as a deep sleep power-down mode for extended battery life and low-power operation. Furthermore, the family offers a single pulse per second (1PPS) output, programmable alarms and a wide range of frequencies for accuracy and stability.
