7.2 Pin description
[1] The die paddle (exposed pad) is connected to VSS through high ohmic (non-conductive) silicon attach and should be electrically
isolated. It is good engineering practice to solder the exposed pad to an electrically isolated PCB copper pad as shown in Figure 37
Footprint information for reflow soldering of SOT1197-1 (DFN2626-10) of PCF85063ATL for better heat transfer but it is not required
as the RTC doesn’t consume much power. In no case should traces be run under the package exposed pad.

8. Functional description
The PCF85063A con tains 18 8-bit registers with an auto-incre me n t in g re gis ter add r ess ,
an on-chip 32.768 kHz oscillator with integrated capacitors, a frequency divider which
provides the source clock for the Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calender, and an I2C-bus
interface with a maximum data rate of 400 kbit/s.
The built-in address register will increment automatically after each read or write of a data
byte up to the register 11h. After register 11h, the auto-incrementing will wrap around to
address 00h (see Figure 5).
All registers (see Table 5) are designed as addressable 8-bit parallel registers altho ugh
not all bits are implemente d. The fi rst two re gist er s (m em o ry ad d re ss 00 h an d 01h ) ar e
used as control and status register. The register at address 02h is an offset register
allowing the fine-tuning of the clock; and at 03h is a free RAM byte. The addresses 04h
through 0Ah are used as counters for the clock function (seconds up to years counters).
Address locations 0Bh through 0Fh contain alarm re gisters which define the conditions for
an alarm. The register s at 10h and 11h are for the timer function.
The Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Days, Months, and Years as well as the corresponding
alarm registers are all coded in Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format. When one of the
RTC registers is written or read, the contents of all time counters are frozen. Therefore,
faulty writing or readin g of the clock and calendar during a carry condition is prev ented.
For details on maximum access time, see Section 8.4 on page 25.

8.2.1.1 EXT _T EST: external clock test mode
A test mode is available which allows for on-board testing. In this mode, it is possible to
set up test conditions and control the operation of the RTC.
The test mode is entered by setting bit EXT_TEST in register Control_1. Then
pin CLKOUT becomes an input. The test mode replaces the internal clock signal with the
signal applied to pin CLKOUT.
The signal applied to pin CLKOUT should have a minimum pulse width of 300 ns and a
maximum period of 1000 ns. The internal clock, now sourced from CLKOUT, is divided
down to 1 Hz by a 26divide chain called a prescaler. The prescaler can be set into a
known state by using bit STOP. When bit STOP is set, the prescaler is reset to 0. (STOP
must be cleared before the prescaler can operate again.)
From a stop condition, the first 1 second increment will take place after 32 positive edges
on pin CLKOUT. Thereafter, every 64 positive edges cause a 1 second increment.
Remark: Entry into test mode is not synchronized to the internal 64 Hz clock. When
entering the test mode, no assumption as to the state of the pr escaler can be made.
Operation ex am p l e:
1. Set EXT_TEST test mode (register Control_1, bit EXT_TEST = 1).
2. Set STOP (register Control_1, bit STOP = 1).
3. Clear STOP (register Control_1, bit STOP = 0).
4. Set time registers to desired value.
5. Apply 32 clock pulses to pin CLKOUT.
6. Read time registers to see the first change.
7. Apply 64 clock pulses to pin CLKOUT.
8. Read time registers to see the second change.
Repeat 7 and 8 for additional increments.

8.2.1.2 STOP: STOP bit function
The function of the STOP bit (see Figure 6) is to allow for accurate starting of the time
circuits. The STOP bit function causes the upper part of the prescaler (F2 to F14) to be
held in reset and thus no 1 Hz ticks are generated. It also stops the output of clock
frequencies below 8 kHz on pin CLKOUT.
The time circuit s can then be set and do not increme nt until the STOP bit is released (see
Figure 7 and Table 7).

[1] F0 is clocked at 32.768 kHz.
The lower two stages of the prescaler (F 0 an d F1) are no t re set. An d becau se the I 2C-bus
is asynchronous to the crystal oscillator, the accuracy of restarting the time circuits is
between zero and one 8.192 kHz cycle (see Figure 7).
The first increment of the time circuit s is betwee n 0.507813 s and 0.507935 s after ST OP
bit is released. The uncertainty is caused by the prescaler bits F0 and F1 not being reset
(see Table 7) and the unknown state of the 32 kHz clock.

8.2.2.2 MI and HMI: minute and half minu t e in te rru p t
The minute interrupt (bit MI) and half minute interrupt (bit HM I) ar e pr e- de fin e d tim er s for
generating inte rrupt pulses on pin INT ; see Figure 10. The timer s are ru nning in sync with
the seconds counter (see Table 19 on page 21).
The minute and half minute interrup ts must only be used when the frequency offset is set
to normal mode (MODE = 0), see Section 8.2.3. In normal mode, the interrupt pulses on
pin INT are 164 s wide.
When starting MI, the first interrupt will be generated after 1 second to 59 seconds. When
starting HMI, the first interrupt will be generated after 1 second to 29 seconds.
Subsequent periods do not have such a delay. The timers can be enabled independently
from one another. However, a minute interrupt enabled on top of a half minute interrupt is
not distinguish ab le.
The duration of the timer is affected by the register Offset (see Section 8.2.3). Only when
OFFSET[6:0] has the value 00h the periods are consiste nt.
8.2.2.3 TF: timer flag
The timer flag (bit TF) is set logic 1 on the first trigger of MI, HMI, or the countdown timer.
The purpose of the flag is to allow the controlling system to interrogate what caused the
interrupt: timer or alarm. The flag can be read and cleared by command.
The status of the timer flag TF can affect the INT pulse generation d epending on the
setting of TI_TP (see Section 8.6.2 “Register Timer_mode” on page 30):
When TI_TP is set logic 1
an INT pulse is generated independent of the status of the timer flag TF
TF stays set until it is cleared
TF does not affect INT
In this example, the TF flag is not cleared after an interrupt.

8.2.2.4 COF[2:0]: Clock output frequency
A programmable square wave is available at pin CLKOUT. Operation is controlled by the
COF[2:0] bits in th e register Contr ol_2. Fr equencie s of 32.768 kHz (default) down to 1 Hz
can be generated for use as a system clock, microcontroller clock, input to a charge
pump, or for calibration of the oscillator.
Pin CLKOUT is a push- pull outp ut and enable d at power- on. CLKOUT can be disa bled by
setting COF[2:0] to 111 or by setting CLKOE LOW (PCF85063ATL only). When disabled,
the CLKOUT is LOW. If CLKOE is HIGH and COF[2:0]=111 there will be no clock and
CLKOUT will be LOW.
The duty cycle of the selected clock is not controlled. However, due to the nature of the
clock generation, all clock frequencies except 32.768 kHz have a duty cycle of 50 : 50.
The STOP bit function can also af fect the CLKOUT signal, depending on the selected
frequency. When the STOP bit is set logic 1, the CLKOUT pin gener ates a continuous
LOW for those frequen cies that can be stopped. F or more details of the STOP bit function,
see Section 8.2.1.2.
[1] Duty cycle definition: % HIGH-level time : % LOW-level time.
[2] Default values: The duty cycle of the CLKOUT when outputting 32,768 Hz could change from 60:40 to
40:60 depending on the detector since the 32,768 Hz is derived from the oscillator output which is not
perfect. It could change from device to device and it depends on the silicon diffusion. There is nothing that
can be done from outside the chip to influence the duty cycle.
[3] 1 Hz clock pulses are affected by offset correction pulses.

8.2.3 Register Offset
The PCF85063A incorporates an offset register (addre ss 02h) which can be used to
implement several functions, such as:
Accuracy tuning
Aging adjustment
Temperature compensation
[1] Default value.
For MODE = 0, each LSB introduces an offset of 4.34 ppm. For MODE = 1, each LSB
introduces an offset of 4.069 ppm. The offset value is coded in two’s complement giving a
range of +63 LSB to 64 LSB.
[1] Default value.
The correction is made by adding or subtracting clock correction pulses, thereby changing
the period of a single second but not by changing the oscillator frequency.
It is possible to monitor when corr ection pulses a re applied. To enable cor rectio n interrup t
generation, bit CIE (register Control_1) has to be set logic 1. At every correction cycle, a
pulse is generated on pin INT. The pulse width depends on the correction mode. If
multiple correction pulses are app lied, an interrupt pulse is generated for each correction
pulse applied.

The correction is triggered once every two hours and then correction pulse s ar e ap plie d
once per minute until the programmed correction values have been implemented.
[1] The correction pulses on pin INT are 164 s wide.
In MODE = 0, any timer or clock output using a frequency below 64 Hz is affected by the

8.2.3.2 Correction when MODE = 1
The correction is trigge red once every four minutes and then correction pulses ar e applied
once per second up to a maximum of 60 pulses. When correction values greater than 60
pulses are used, additional correction pulses are made in the 59th second .
Clock correction is made more frequently in MODE = 1; however, this can result in higher
power consum p tion .
[1] The correction pulses on pin INT are 11024 s wide. For multiple pulses, they are repeated at an interval of
1512 s.
In MODE = 1, any timer source clock using a frequency below 1.024 kHz is also affected

8.3.1.1 OS: Oscillator stop
When the oscillator of the PCF85063A is stopped, the OS flag is set. The oscillator can be
stopped, for example, by connecting one of the oscillator pins OSCI or OSCO to ground.
The oscillator is considered to be stopped during the time between power-on and stable
crystal resonance. This time can be in the range of 200 ms to 2 s depending on crystal
type, temperature, and supply voltage.
The flag remains set until cleared by command (see Figure 13). If the fla g cannot be
cleared, then the oscillator is not running. This method can be used to monitor the
oscillator and to determine if the supply voltage has reduced to the point where oscillation
fails.

Because of this method, it is very import ant to make a read or write access in one go, that
is, setting or reading seconds through to years should be made in one single access.
Failing to comply with this method could result in the time becoming corrupted.
As an example, if the time (seconds through to hours) is set in one access and then in a
second access the date is set, it is possible that the time will increment between the two
accesses. A similar problem exists when reading. A roll-over may occur between reads
thus giving the minutes from one moment and the hours from the next.
Recommended method for reading the time:
1. Send a START condition and the slave address (see Table 39 on page 35) for write
(A2h)
2. Set the address pointer to 4 (Seconds) by sending 04h
3. Send a RESTART condition or STOP followe d by START

[1] Default value.
8.5.6 Alarm function
By clearing the alarm enable bit (AEN_x) of one or more of the alarm register s, th e
corresponding alarm condition( s) are active. When an alarm occur s, AF is set logic 1. The
asserted AF can be used to gener ate an interrupt (INT). The AF is cleared by command.
The registers at addresses 0Bh through 0Fh contain alarm information. When one or
more of these registers is loaded with second, minute, hour, day or weekday, and its
corresponding AEN_x is logic 0, then that information is compared with the current
second, minute, hour, day, and weekday. When all enabled comparisons first match, the
alarm flag (AF in register Control_2) is set logic 1.
The generation of interrupts from the alarm function is controlled via bit AIE. If bit AIE is
enabled, the INT pin follows the condition of bit AF. AF remains set until cleared by
command. Once AF has been cleared, it will only be set again when the time increments
to match the alarm condition once more. Alarm registers which have their AEN_x bit at
logic 1 are ignore d.

8.6.2 Register Timer_mode
[1] Default value.
[2] How the setting of TI_TP and the timer flag TF can affect the INT pulse generation is explained in
Section 8.2.2.3 on page 15.
8.6.3 Timer functions
The timer has four selectable source clocks allowing for countdown periods in the range
from 244 s to 4 hours 15 min. For periods longer than 4 hour s, the alarm function ca n be
used.
[1] When not in use, TCF[1:0] must be set to 160 Hz for power saving.
[2] Time periods can be affected by correction pulses.
Remark: Note that all timings which are generated from the 32.768 kHz oscillator are
based on the assumption that there is 0 ppm deviation. Deviation in oscillator frequency
results in deviation in timings. This is not applicable to interface timing.
The timer counts down from a software-loaded 8-bit binary value, T[7:0], in register
Timer_value. Loading the counter with 0 stops the timer. Values from 1 to 255 are valid.

NXP Semiconductors PCF85063A
Tiny Rea l-Time Clock/cale ndar with alarm function and I2C-bus
When the counter decrements from 1, the timer flag (bit TF in register Control_2) is set
and the counter automatically re-loads and starts the next timer period.
If a new value of T is written before the end of the current timer period, then this value
take s immediate effect. NXP does not recommend changing T without first disabling the
counter by setting bit TE logic 0. The update of T is asynchronous to the timer clock.
Therefore changing it with out setting b it TE lo gic 0 may resu lt in a corru pted value lo aded
into the count down counter. This results in an un determined count down period for the first
period. The countdown value T will, however, be correctly stored and correctly loaded on
subsequent timer periods.
When the TIE flag is set, an interrupt signal on INT is generated if this mode is enabled.
See Section 8.2.2 for details on how the interrupt can be controlled.
When starting the timer for the first time, the first period has an uncertainty. The
uncertainty is a result of the enable instruction being generated from the interface clock
which is asynchronous from the timer so urce clock. Subsequent tim er periods do not have
such delay. The amount of delay for the first timer period depends on the chosen source
clock, see Table 37.
In this example, it is assumed that the timer flag is cleared before the next countdown period
expires and that the pin INT is set to pulsed mode.

NXP Semiconductors PCF85063A
Tiny Rea l-Time Clock/cale ndar with alarm function and I2C-bus
At the end of every countdown, the timer sets the countdown timer flag (bit TF in register
Control_2). Bit TF can only be cleared by command. The asserted bit TF can be used to
generate an in terr upt a t pin INT. T he interrup t may be gen erated as a pu lsed signal ever y
countdown period or as a permanently active signal which follows the condition of bit TF.
Bit TI_TP is used to control this mode selection and the interrupt output may be disabled
with bit TIE, see Table 35 and Figure 17.
When reading the timer, the current countdown value is returned and not the initial
value T. Since it is not possible to freeze the countdown timer counte r during re ad back, it
is recommended to read the register twice and check for consistent results.
Timer source clock frequency selection of 1 Hz and 160 Hz is affected by the Offset
register. The duration of a program period varies according to when the offset is initiated.
For example, if a 100 s timer is set using the 1 Hz clock as source, then some 100 s
periods will contain correction pulses and therefore be longer or shorter depending on the
setting of the Offse t register. See Section 8.2.3 to understand the operation of the Offset
register.
8.6.3.1 Countdown timer interrupts
The pulse generator for the countdown timer interrupt uses an internal clock and is
dependent on the selected source clock for the countdown timer and on the countdown
value T. As a consequence, the width of the interrupt pulse varies (see Table 38).
[1] T = loaded countdown value. Timer stops when T = 0.

Tiny Rea l-Time Clock/cale ndar with alarm function and I2C-bus
9. Characteristics of the I2C-bus interface
The I2C-bus is for bidirectional, two-line communication between different ICs or modules.
The two lines are a Serial DAt a line (SDA) and a Serial CLock line (SCL). Both lines must
be connected to a positi ve supply via a pull-up resistor. Dat a transfer may be initiated only
when the bus is not busy.
9.1 Bit transfer
One data b it is transferred durin g each clock pulse . The data on th e SDA line must remain
stable during the HIGH period of the clock pulse, as changes in the data line at this time
are interpreted as a control signal (see Figure 18).
9.2 START and STOP conditions
Both data and clock lines remain HIGH when the bus is not busy.
A HIGH-to-LOW transition of the dat a line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the ST AR T
condition - S.
A LOW-to-HIGH transition of the data line while the clock is HIGH is defined as the STOP
condition - P (see Figure 19).
9.3 System configuration
A device generating a message is a transmitter; a device receiving a message is a
receiver. The device that controls the message is the master; and the devices which are
controlled by the ma ste r ar e th e sla ves (see Figure 20).

9.4 Acknowledge
The number of data bytes tran sf er re d be tween the START and STOP conditions from
transmitter to receiver is unlimited. Each byte of 8 bits is followed by an acknowledge
cycle.
A slave receiver, which is addressed, must generate an acknowledge after the
reception of each byte
Also a master receiver must gener ate an acknowle dge after the reception of each
byte that has been clocked out of the slave transmitter
The device that acknowledges must pull-down the SDA line during the acknowledge
clock pulse, so that the SDA line is stable LOW during the HIGH period of the
acknowledge related clock pulse (set-up and ho ld times must be considered)
A master receiver must signal an end of data to the transmitter by not generating an
acknowledge on the last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In this event, the
transmitter must leav e th e da ta line HIGH to enable the master to generate a STOP
condition
Acknowledgement on the I2C-bus is shown in Figure 21.

9.5 I2C-bus protocol
9.5.1 Addressing
One I2C-bus slave address (101 0001) is reserved for the PCF85063A. The entir e I2C-bus
slave address byte is shown in Table 39.
After a START condition, the I2C slave address has to be sent to the PCF85063A device.
The R/W bit defines the direction of the following single or multiple byte data transfer
(R/W = 0 for writing, R/W = 1 for reading). For the format and the timing of the START
condition (S), the STOP condition (P) and the acknowledg e bit (A) refer to the I2C-bus
characteristics (see Ref. 16 “UM10204). In the write mode, a data transfe r is term ina te d
by sending either th e STOP condition or the START condition of the next data transfer.
9.5.2 Clock and calendar READ or WRITE cycles
The I2C-bus configuration for the different PCF85063A READ and WRITE cycles is shown
in Figure 22 and Figure 23. The register address is a 5-bit value that defines which
register is to be accessed next. The upper 3 bits of the register address are not used.

[1] For reliable oscillator start-up at power-on use VDD greater th an 1.2 V. If powered up at 0.9 V the oscillator will start but it might be a bit
slow, especially if at high temperature. Normally the power supply is not 0.9 V at start-up and only comes at the end of battery
discharge. VDD min of 0.9 V is specified so that the customer can calculate how large a battery or capacitor they need for their
application. VDD min of 1.2 V or greater is needed to ensure speedy oscillator start-up time.

[1] A detailed description of the I2C-bus specification is given in Ref. 16 “UM10204.
[2] I2C-bus access time between two STARTs or between a START and a STOP condition to this device must be less than one second.
[3] A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300 ns for the SDA signal (with respect to the VIH(min) of the SCL signal) to bridge
the undefined region of the falling edge of SCL.
[4] The maximum tf for the SDA and SCL bus lines is specified at 300 ns. The maximum fall time for the SDA output stage tf is specified at
250 ns. This allows series protection resistors to be connected in between the SDA and the SCL pins and the SDA/SCL bus lines
without exceeding the maximum specified tf.

14. Application information
The dat a sheet values were obta ined using a crystal with an ESR of 60 k. If a cryst al with
an ESR of 70 k is used then the power consumption wo uld increase by a few nA and the
start-up time will increase slightly.
A 1 farad super capacitor combined with a low VF diode can be used as a standby or back-up
supply. With the RTC in its minimum power configuration that is, timer off and CLKOUT off, the
RTC may operate for weeks.
(1) R1 limits the inrush current to the super capacitor at power-on.

18. Soldering of SMD packages
This text provides a very brief insight into a complex technology. A more in-depth account
of soldering ICs can be found in Application Note AN10365 “Surface mount reflow
soldering description”.
18.1 Introduction to soldering
Soldering is one of the most common methods through which packages are attached to
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), to form electrical circuits. The soldered joint provides both
the mechanical and the electrical connection. There is no single soldering method that is
ideal for all IC packages. Wave soldering is often preferred when through-hole and
Surface Mount Devices (SMDs) are mixed on on e printed wiring board; however, it is not
suitable for fine pitch SMDs. Reflow soldering is ideal for the small pitches and high
densities that come with increased miniaturization.
18.2 Wave and reflow soldering
W ave soldering is a joining te chnology in which the joints are m ade by solder coming from
a standing wave of liquid solder. The wave soldering process is suitable for the following :
Through-hole components
Leaded or leadless SMDs, which are glued to the surface of the printed circui t board
Not all SMDs can be wave soldered. Packages with solder balls, and some leadless
packages which have solde r lands underneath the body, cannot be wave soldered. Also,
leaded SMDs with leads ha ving a pitch smaller than ~0.6 mm cannot be wave soldered,
due to an increased probability of bridging.
The reflow soldering process involves applying solder paste to a board, followed by
component placement and exposure to a temperatur e profile. Leaded packages,
packages with solder balls, and leadless packages are all reflow soldera ble.
Key characteristics in both wave and reflow soldering are:
Board specifications, including the board finish, solder masks and vias
Package footprints, including solder thieves and orie ntation
The moisture sensitivity level of the packages
Package placement
Inspection and repair
Lead-free soldering ve rsus SnPb soldering
18.3 Wave soldering

18.4 Reflow soldering
Key characteristics in reflow soldering are :
Lead-free ve rsus SnPb soldering; note th at a lead-free reflow process usua lly leads to
higher minimum peak temperatures (see Figure 35) than a SnPb process, thus
reducing the process window
Solder paste printing issues including smearing, release, and adjusting the process
window for a mix of large and small components on one board
Reflow temperature profile; this profile includes preheat, reflow (in which the board is
heated to the peak temperature) an d cooling down. It is imperative that the peak
temperature is high enoug h for the solder to make reliable solder joint s (a solder paste
characteristic). In addition, the peak temperature must be low enough that the
packages and/or boards ar e not damaged. The peak temperature of the package
depends on p ackage thickness and volume and is classified in accord ance with
Table 43 and 44
Moisture sensitivity precautions, as indicated on the packing, must be respected at all
times.
Studies have shown that small packages reach hig her temperatures during r eflow
soldering, see Figure 35.
