If RS is 00, the trickle charger is disabled independent of TCS.
Diode and resistor selection is determined by the user according to the maximum current desired for
battery or super cap charging.  The maximum charging current can be calculated as illustrated in the
following example.  Assume that a system power supply of 5 volts is applied to V
CC1
 and a super cap is
connected to V
CC2
 .  Also assume that the trickle charger has been enabled with 1 diode and resister R1
between V
CC1
 and V
CC2
.  The maximum current I MAX would therefore be calculated as follows:
I 
MAX
 = 
(5.0V - diode drop)/R1
(5.0V - 0.7V)/2 k
2.2 mA

Obviously, as the super cap charges, the voltage drop between V
CC1
 and V
CC2
 will decrease and therefore
the charge current will decrease.
POWER CONTROL
Power is provided through the V
CC1
, V
CC2
 and V
BAT
 pins.  Three different power supply configurations
are illustrated in Figure 5.  Configuration 1 shows the DS1305 being backed up by a non-rechargeable
energy source such as a lithium battery.  In this configuration, the system power supply is connected to
V
CC1
 and V
CC2
 is grounded.  The DS1305 will be write protected if V
CC1
 is less than V
BAT
 .
Configuration 2 illustrates the DS1305 being backed up by a rechargeable energy source.  In this case, the
V
BAT
 pin is grounded, V
CC1
 is connected to the primary power supply and V
CC2
 is connected to the
secondary supply (the rechargeable energy source).  The DS1305 will operate from the larger of V
CC1
 or
V
CC2
.  When V
CC1
 is greater than V
CC2
 + 0.2 volt (typical), V
CC1
 will power the DS1305.  When V
CC1
 is
less than V
CC2
, V
CC2
 will power the DS1305.  The DS1305 does not write protect itself in this
configuration.
Configuration 3 shows the DS1305 in battery operate mode where the device is powered only by a single
battery.  In this case, the V
CC1
 and V
BAT
 pins are grounded and the battery is connected to the V
CC2
 pin.
Only these three configurations are allowed.  Unused supply pins must be grounded.
SERIAL INTERFACE
The DS1305 offers the flexibility to choose between two serial interface modes.  The DS1305 can
communicate with the SPI interface or with a standard 3-wire inter-face.  The interface method used is
determined by the SERMODE pin.  When this pin is connected to V
CC
, SPI communication is selected.
When this pin is connected to ground, standard 3-wire communication is selected.
