NAME
FUNCTION
1
X1
Connections for Standard 32.768kHz Quartz Crystal. The internal oscillator circuitry is designed for
operation with a crystal having a specified load capacitance (CL) of 6pF.
For more information about crystal selection and crystal layout considerations, see the Applications
Information section and refer to Application Note 58: Crystal Considerations with Dallas Real-Time Clocks.

VBACKUP
Secondary Power Supply. Supply voltage must be held between 1.3V and 3.7V for proper operation.
This pin can be connected to a primary cell, such as a lithium coin cell. Additionally, this pin can be
connected to a rechargeable cell or a super cap when used in conjunction with the trickle-charge
feature. Diodes should not be placed in series between the backup source and the VBACKUP input,
or improper operation will result. If a backup supply is not required, VBACKUP must be grounded. UL
recognized to ensure against reverse charging current when used with a primary lithium cell. For more

SDA
Serial Data Input/Output. SDA is the input/output pin for the I2C serial interface. The SDA pin is an open-
drain output and requires an external pullup resistor. The pull up voltage may be up to 5.5V regardless of
the voltage on VCC.
6
SCL
Serial Clock Input. SCL is used to synchronize data movement on the I2C serial interface. The pull up
voltage may be up to 5.5V regardless of the voltage on VCC.
7
SQW/INT
Square-Wave/Interrupt Output. Programmable square-wave or interrupt output signal. The SQW/INT pin
is an open-drain output and requires an external pullup resistor. The pull up voltage may be up to 5.5V
regardless of the voltage on VCC. If not used, this pin may be left unconnected.
8
VCC
Primary Power Supply. When voltage is applied within normal limits, the device is fully accessible and
data can be written and read. When a backup supply is connected and VCC is below VPF, reads and
writes are inhibited. The timekeeping and alarm functions operate when the device is powered by VCC or
VBACKUP.
