SH3001 MicroBuddy
Real-Time Clock and Clock Management
Support IC for Microcontrollers
SYSTEM MANAGEMENT
Description
The programmable SH3001 MicroBuddy (Buddy)
provides mandatory microcontroller support functions:
Clock Management System
Real-Time Support
Auxiliary functions
Three components make a complete system: any
microcontroller, the SH3001, and a bypass capacitor.
This low-cost system would consume very little power and
have clock-frequency accuracy of ± 0.5%. A fourth
component, a 32.768 kHz crystal, raises the clock
frequency accuracy to ± 0.0256% (± 256 ppm).
The SH3001 can operate completely stand-alone, or
under control of the microcontroller. A single-wire
interface handles bi-directional communications. The
SH3001 stores all configuration, calibration, parameters,
and status information in a 36-byte bank of control
registers. On reset, most of these are reloaded with
defaults from the factory-set nonvolatile memory. The
microcontroller can change any settings on the fly. If
some of the settings must remain fixed, a comprehensive
set of write-protect bits is provided for several related
groups of registers (with both permanent write-inhibit and
lock/unlock capabilities).
A backup power source can also be connected to the
SH3001. The IC can directly accommodate 2/3-cell zinc-
carbon/alkaline, 2/3-cell mercury, 2/3/4-cell NiCd/NiMH, 1-
cell Li/Li+ batteries, or a super cap.
