The DS1302 is a low-power real-time clock (RTC) chip developed by Dallas Semiconductor, now part of Maxim Integrated. It is widely used in embedded systems for accurate timekeeping. The chip can track seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years, and it also includes automatic leap year compensation. This makes it ideal for applications that require reliable time management without constant user input.
Key features of the DS1302 include:
1. It provides complete calendar and time information, including date, month, year, hour, minute, and second. It supports both 12-hour and 24-hour formats, with software-configurable AM/PM settings.
2. It has 31 bytes of on-chip SRAM for data storage, which can be used to store user-specific information.
3. Communication is done via a serial interface, which helps save microcontroller I/O pins compared to parallel communication.
4. The chip operates over a wide voltage range, from 2.0V to 5.5V, making it suitable for various power supply conditions.
5. Its power consumption is extremely low, with an operating current of less than 300nA at 2.0V, ensuring long battery life when used with a backup power source.
6. The DS1302 comes in two package types: DIP-8 and SOP-8. The DIP-8 has a width of 300 mils, while the SOP-8 has widths of 150 or 208 mils.
7. At 5V, the DS1302 is compatible with standard TTL logic levels, allowing seamless integration with most microcontrollers.
8. As an improved version of the DS1202, the DS1302 is fully compatible with its predecessor. Additionally, it features dual power inputs: one for main power and another for backup, such as a battery or large capacitor. This ensures continuous operation even when the main power is disconnected. If a rechargeable battery is used, the chip also allows for charging during normal operation.
Pin functions of the DS1302 are as follows:
- Pin 1 (VCC2): Main power supply pin.
- Pins 2 (X1) and 3 (X2): Crystal oscillator input and output.
- Pin 4 (GND): Ground.
- Pin 5 (CE): Chip enable, connected to the MCU’s I/O port.
- Pin 6 (I/O): Data transmission line, connected to the microcontroller.
- Pin 7 (SCLK): Clock signal for communication, connected to the MCU.
- Pin 8 (VCC1): Backup power supply pin.
To ensure continued operation during power loss, a 10μF capacitor can be connected to pin 8. This allows the clock to run for approximately one minute after power is removed. For longer backup times, a larger capacitor or a battery can be used. Circuit diagrams showing the connection are available for reference.
The DS1302's clock circuit typically uses a 32.768kHz crystal oscillator. No external resistors or capacitors are needed, but the crystal's load capacitance must match the requirements of the chip to ensure accuracy. Temperature variations can affect the crystal's frequency, so periodic calibration is often necessary. For example, many computers automatically synchronize with internet time sources to maintain precision.
For developers working with microcontrollers like the 51 series, there are driver programs available to interface with the DS1302 and manage real-time clock functions efficiently.
If you're looking to implement a real-time clock in your project, the DS1302 is a reliable and cost-effective choice. Its low power consumption, ease of use, and robust design make it a popular option in a wide range of applications.
