bq3285ED

The CMOS bq3285ED/LD is a low-power microprocessor peripheral providing a time-of-day clock and 100-year calendar with alarm features and battery operation. The architecture is based on the bq3285/7 RTC with added features: low-voltage operation, 32.768kHz output, 128 additional bytes of CMOS, and a day-of-month alarm to be compliant with theACPIRTCspecification.


A 32.768kHz output is available for sustaining power-management activities. The bq3285ED/LD 32kHz output is always on whenever V_CC is valid. In VCC standby mode, the 32kHz is active, and the bq3285LD typically draws 100A while the bq3285ED typically draws 300A. Wake-up capability is provided by an alarm interrupt, which is active in battery-backup mode. In battery-backup mode, current drain is less than 550nA.


The bq3285ED/LD write-protects the clock, calendar, and storage registers during power failure. A backup battery then maintains data and oper atestheclockandcalendar.


The bq3285ED/LD is a fully compatible real-time clock for IBM AT-compatible computers and other applications. The only external components are a 32.768kHz crystal and a backupbattery.


The bq3285ED is intended for use in 5V systems. The bq3285LD is intended for use in 3V systems; the bq3285LD, however, may also operate at 5V and then go into a 3V power-down state, write-protecting asifina3Vsystem.
