12 .Real-Time Clock RTC-8564 (U5)
For real-time or time-driven applications, the phyCORE-MPC5200B
tiny is equipped with a RTC-8564 Real-Time Clock at U5. This RTC
device provides the following features:
•
Serial input/output bus (I
2
C), address 0xA2
•
Power consumption
Bus active (400 kHz): < 1 mA
Bus inactive, CLKOUT inactive: < 1
μ
A
•
Clock function with four year calendar
•
Century bit for year 2000-compliance
•
Universal timer with alarm and overflow indication
•
24-hour format
•
Automatic word address incrementing
•
Programmable alarm, timer and interrupt functions
The Real-Time Clock is programmed via the I
2
C bus
(address 0xA2 / 0xA3). Since the MPC5200B is equipped with an
internal I
2
C controller, the I
2
C protocol is processed very effective
without extensive processor action ( refer also to section 6.3)
The Real-Time Clock also provides an interrupt output that extends to
the /IRQRTC signal X1D33. An interrupt occurs in the event of a
clock alarm, timer alarm, timer overflow and event counter alarm. It
has to be cleared by software. With the interrupt function, the
Real-Time Clock can be utilized in various applications.
If the RTC interrupt is to be used as a software interrupt via a
corresponding interrupt input of the processor, the signal /IRQRTC
must be connected externally with a processor interrupt input.
The RTC_CLKOUT signal can be programmed to various frequencies
e.g. 1Hz. The RTC_CLKOUT output must be enabled via solder
jumper J7.
