Overview
The Cypress CY14B101P combines a 1 Mbit nonvolatile static
RAM with full featured real time clock in a monolithic integrated
circuit with serial SPI interface. The memory is organized as
128K words of 8 bits each. The embedded nonvolatile elements
incorporate the QuantumTrap technology, creating the world’s
most reliable nonvolatile memory. The SRAM provides infinite
read and write cycles, while the QuantumTrap cells provide
highly reliable nonvolatile storage of data. Data transfers from
SRAM to the nonvolatile elements (STORE operation) takes
place automatically at power down. On power up, data is
restored to the SRAM from the nonvolatile memory (RECALL
operation). The STORE and RECALL operations can also be
initiated by the user.

CY14B101P
PRELIMINARY
SRAM Read
Device Operation
A read cycle in CY14B101P is performed at the SPI bus speed
and the data is read out with zero cycle delay after the READ
instruction is performed. The READ instruction is issued through
the SI pin of the nvSRAM and consists of the READ opcode and
3 bytes of address. The data is read out on the SO pin.
CY14B101P is a 1-Mbit nvSRAM memory with integrated RTC
and SPI interface. All the reads and writes to nvSRAM happen
to the SRAM which gives nvSRAM the unique capability to
handle infinite writes to the memory. The data in SRAM is
secured by a STORE sequence that transfers the data in parallel
CY14B101P allows burst mode reads to be performed through
SPI. This enables reads on consecutive addresses without
issuing a new READ instruction. When the last address in
memory is reached in burst mode read, the address rolls over to
0x0000 and the device continues to read.
to the nonvolatile Quantum Trap cells. A small capacitor (VCAP
)
is used to AutoStore the SRAM data in nonvolatile cells when
power goes down providing power down data security. The
Quantum Trap nonvolatile elements built in the reliable SONOS
technology make nvSRAM the ideal choice for secure data
storage.
The SPI read cycle sequence is defined in the Memory Access
section of SPI Protocol Description
In CY14B101P, the 1-Mbit memory array is organized as
128K words x 8 bits. The memory is accessed through a
standard SPI interface that enables very high clock speeds upto
40 MHz with zero delay read and write cycles. CY14B101P
supports SPI modes 0 and 3 (CPOL, CPHA = 0, 0 & 1, 1) and
operates as SPI slave. The device is enabled using the Chip
Select pin (CS) and accessed through Serial Input (SI), Serial
Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK) pins.
STORE Operation
STORE operation transfers the data from the SRAM to the
nonvolatile Quantum Trap cells. The CY14B101P STOREs data
to the nonvolatile cells using one of the three STORE operations:
AutoStore, activated on device power down; Software Store,
activated by a STORE instruction in the SPI; and Hardware
Store, activated by the HSB. During the STORE cycle, an erase
of the previous nonvolatile data is first performed, followed by a
program of the nonvolatile elements. After a STORE cycle is
initiated, further input and output are disabled until the cycle is
completed.
CY14B101P provides the feature for hardware and software
write protection through WP pin and WRDI instruction.
CY14B101P also provides mechanisms for block write
protection (1/4, 1/2, or full array) using BP0 and BP1 pins in the
status register. Further, the HOLD pin is used to suspend any
serial communication without resetting the serial sequence.
The HSB signal or the RDY bit in the Status register can be
monitored by the system to detect if a STORE cycle is in
progress. The busy status of nvSRAM is indicated by HSB being
pulled LOW or RDY bit being set to ‘1’. To avoid unnecessary
nonvolatile STOREs, AutoStore and Hardware Store operations
are ignored unless at least one write operation has taken place
since the most recent STORE or RECALL cycle. However,
software initiated STORE cycles are performed regardless of
whether a write operation has taken place.
CY14B101P uses the standard SPI opcodes for memory access.
In addition to the general SPI instructions for read and write,
CY14B101P provides four special instructions that allow access
to four nvSRAM specific functions: STORE, RECALL, AutoStore
Disable (ASDISB), and AutoStore Enable (ASENB).
The major benefit of nvSRAM SPI over serial EEPROMs is that
all reads and writes to nvSRAM are performed at the speed of
SPI bus with zero cycle delay. Therefore, no wait time is required
after any of the memory accesses. The STORE and RECALL
operations need finite time to complete and all memory accesses
are inhibited during this time. While a STORE or RECALL
operation is in progress, the busy status of the device is indicated
by the Hardware Store Busy (HSB) pin and also reflected on the
RDY bit of the Status Register.
AutoStore Operation
The AutoStore operation is a unique feature of nvSRAM which
automatically stores the SRAM data to QuantumTrap during
power down. This STORE mechanism is implemented using a
capacitor (VCAP) and enables the device to safely STORE the
data in the nonvolatile memory when power goes down.
SRAM Write
During normal operation, the device draws current from VCC to
charge the capacitor connected to the VCAP pin. When the
voltage on the VCC pin drops below VSWITCH during power down,
the device inhibits all memory accesses to nvSRAM and
automatically performs a conditional STORE operation using the
charge from the VCAP capacitor. The AutoStore operation is not
initiated if no write cycle has been performed since last RECALL.
All writes to nvSRAM are carried out on the SRAM and do not
use up any endurance cycles of the nonvolatile memory. This
enables user to perform infinite write operations. A write cycle is
performed through the SPI WRITE instruction. The WRITE
instruction is issued through the SI pin of the nvSRAM and
consists of the WRITE opcode, 3 bytes of address and 1 byte of
data. Writes to nvSRAM is done at SPI bus speed with zero cycle
delay.
During power down, the memory accesses are inhibited after the
voltage on VCC pin drops below VSWITCH. To avoid inadvertent
writes, ensure that CS is not left floating prior to this event.
Therefore, during power down the device must be deselected
CY14B101P allows burst mode writes to be performed through
SPI. This enables write operations on consecutive addresses
without issuing a new WRITE instruction. When the last address
in memory is reached in burst mode, the address rolls over to
0x0000 and the device continues to write.
and CS must be allowed to follow VCC

Hardware Recall (Power Up)
During power up, when VCC crosses VSWITCH, an automatic

nonvolatile memory on to the SRAM.

Software Recall allows the user to initiate a RECALL operation
to restore the content of nonvolatile memory on to the SRAM. In
CY14B101P, this can be done by issuing a RECALL instruction
in SPI.
VCAP
VSS
A Software Recall takes tRECALL to complete during which all
memory accesses to nvSRAM are inhibited. The controller must
provide sufficient delay for the RECALL operation to complete
before issuing any memory access instructions.
Software Store Operation
Disabling and Enabling AutoStore
Software Store allows the user to trigger a STORE operation
through a special SPI instruction. This operation is initiated
irrespective of whether a write has been performed since last nv
operation.
If the application does not require the AutoStore feature, it can
be disabled in CY14B101P by using the ASDISB instruction. If
this is done, the nvSRAM does not perform a STORE operation
at power down.
A STORE cycle takes tSTORE time to complete, during which all
the memory accesses to nvSRAM are inhibited. The RDY bit of
the Status register or the HSB pin may be polled to find the
Ready/Busy status of the nvSRAM. After the tSTORE cycle time
is completed, the SRAM is activated again for read and write
operations.
AutoStore can be re-enabled by using the ASENB instruction.
However, these operations are not nonvolatile and if the user
needs this setting to survive power cycle, a STORE operation
must be performed following Autostore Disable or Enable
operation.
Note CY14B101P comes from the factory with AutoStore
Enabled.
Hardware Store and HSB pin Operation
Note If AutoStore is disabled and VCAP is not required, it is
recommended that the VCAP pin is left open. VCAP pin must
never be connected to GND. Power Up Recall operation cannot
be disabled in any case.
The HSB pin in CY14B101P is used to control and acknowledge
STORE operations. If no STORE/RECALL is in progress, this pin
can be used to request a Hardware Store cycle. When the HSB
pin is driven LOW, the CY14B101P conditionally initiates a
STORE operation after tDELAY duration. An actual STORE cycle
starts only if a write to the SRAM has been performed since the
last STORE or RECALL cycle. Reads and Writes to the memory
are inhibited for tSTORE duration or as long as HSB pin is LOW.
Serial Peripheral Interface
SPI Overview
The SPI is a four-pin interface with Chip Select (CS), Serial Input
(SI), Serial Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK) pins.
CY14B101P provides serial access to nvSRAM through SPI
interface. The SPI bus on CY14B101P can run at speeds up to
40 MHz for all instructions except RDRTC which runs at 25 MHz.
The HSB pin also acts as an open drain driver that is internally
driven LOW to indicate a busy condition, when a STORE cycle
(initiated by any means) or Power up Recall is in progress. Upon
completion of the STORE operation, CY14B101P remains
disabled until the HSB pin returns HIGH. HSB pin must be left
unconnected if not used.
The SPI is a synchronous serial interface which uses clock and
data pins for memory access and supports multiple devices on
the data bus. A device on SPI bus is activated using the Chip
Select pin.
RECALL Operation
A RECALL operation transfers the data stored in the nonvolatile
Quantum Trap elements to the SRAM. In CY14B101P, a
RECALL may be initiated in two ways: Hardware Recall, initiated
on power up; and Software Recall, initiated by a SPI RECALL
instruction.
The relationship between chip select, clock, and data is dictated
by the SPI mode. CY14B101P supports SPI modes 0 and 3. In
both these modes, data is clocked into the nvSRAM on the rising
edge of SCK starting from the first rising edge after CS goes
active.
Internally, RECALL is a two step procedure. First, the SRAM data
is cleared. Next, the nonvolatile information is transferred into the
SRAM cells. All memory accesses are inhibited while a RECALL
The SPI protocol is controlled by opcodes. These opcodes
specify the commands from the bus master to the slave device.
After CS is activated the first byte transferred from the bus

master is the opcode. Following the opcode, any addresses and
Data Transmission SI/SO
data are then transferred. The CS must go inactive after an
operation is complete and before a new opcode can be issued.
SPI data bus consists of two lines, SI and SO, for serial data
communication. The SI is also referred to as MOSI (Master Out
Slave In) and SO is referred to as MISO (Master In Slave Out).
The master issues instructions to the slave through the SI pin,
while slave responds through the SO pin. Multiple slave devices
may share the SI and SO lines as described earlier.
The commonly used terms used in SPI protocol are given below:
SPI Master
The SPI Master device controls the operations on a SPI bus. An
SPI bus may have only one master with one or more slave
devices. All the slaves share the same SPI bus lines and master
may select any of the slave devices using the Chip Select pin.
All the operations must be initiated by the master activating a
slave device by pulling the CS pin of the slave LOW. The master
also generates the Serial Clock (SCK) and all the data trans-
mission on SI and SO lines are synchronized with this clock.
CY14B101P has two separate pins for SI and SO which can be
Most Significant Bit (MSB)
The SPI protocol requires that the first bit to be transmitted is the
Most Significant Bit (MSB). This is valid for both address and
data transmission.
SPI Slave
CY14B101P requires a 3-byte address for any read or write
operation. However, since the actual address is only 17 bits, it
implies that the first seven bits, which are fed in, are ignored by
the device. Although these seven bits are ‘don’t care’, Cypress
recommends that these bits are treated as 0s to enable
seamless transition to higher memory densities.
SPI slave device is activated by the master through the Chip
Select line. A slave device gets the Serial Clock (SCK) as an
input from the SPI master and all the communication is
synchronized with this clock. SPI slave never initiates a
communication on the SPI bus and acts on the instruction from
the master.
Serial Opcode
CY14B101P operates as a slave device and may share the SPI
bus with multiple CY14B101P devices or other SPI devices.
After the slave device is selected with CS going LOW, the first
byte received is treated as the opcode for the intended operation.
Chip Select (CS)
CY14B101P uses the standard opcodes for memory accesses.
In addition to the memory accesses, CY14B101P provides
additional opcodes for the nvSRAM specific functions: STORE,
RECALL, AutoStore Enable, and AutoStore Disable. Refer to
For selecting any slave device, the master needs to pull down
the corresponding CS pin. Any instruction can be issued to a
slave device only while the CS pin is LOW.
The CY14B101P is selected when the CS pin is LOW. When the
device is not selected, data through the SI pin is ignored and the
serial output pin (SO) remains in a high impedance state.
Invalid Opcode
If an invalid op-code is received, the op-code is ignored and the
device ignores any additional serial data on the SI pin. and no
valid data is sent out on the SO pin. Opcode for a new instruction
is recognized only after the next falling edge of CS.
Note A new instruction must begin with the falling edge of Chip
Select (CS). Therefore, only one opcode can be issued for each
active Chip Select cycle.
Serial Clock (SCK)
Status Register
Serial clock is generated by the SPI master and the communi-
cation is synchronized with this clock after CS goes LOW.
CY14B101P has an 8-bit status register. The bits in the status
register are used to configure the SPI bus. These bits are
CY14B101P allows SPI modes 0 and 3 for data communication.
In both these modes, the inputs are latched by the slave device
on the rising edge of SCK and outputs are issued on the falling
edge. Therefore, the first rising edge of SCK signifies the arrival
of first bit (MSB) of SPI instruction on the SI pin. Further, all data
inputs and outputs are synchronized with SCK.

SPI Modes
CY14B101P device may be driven by a microcontroller with its
SPI peripheral running in either of the following two modes:
■
■
SCK remains at 0 for Mode 0
SCK remains at 1 for Mode 3
■
■
SPI Mode 0 (CPOL=0, CPHA=0)
SPI Mode 3 (CPOL=1, CPHA=1)
CPOL and CPHA bits must be set in the SPI controller for the
either Mode 0 or Mode 3. CY14B101P detects the SPI mode
from the status of SCK pin when device is selected by bringing
the CS pin LOW. If SCK pin is LOW when device is selected, SPI
Mode 0 is assumed and if SCK pin is HIGH, CY14B101P works
in SPI Mode 3.
For both these modes, input data is latched in on the rising edge
of Serial Clock (SCK) starting from the first rising edge after CS
goes active. If the clock starts from a HIGH state (in mode 3), the
first rising edge after the clock toggles are considered. The
output data is available on the falling edge of Serial Clock (SCK).

Active Power and Standby Power Modes
SPI Operating Features
When Chip Select (CS) is LOW, the device is selected, and is in
the Active Power mode. The device consumes ICC current, as
Select (CS) is HIGH, the device is deselected and the device
goes into the Standby Power mode if a STORE or RECALL cycle
is not in progress. If a STORE/RECALL cycle is in progress, the
device goes into the Standby Power Mode after the
STORE/RECALL cycle is completed. In the Standby Power
Power Up
Power up is defined as the condition when the power supply is
turned on and VCC crosses Vswitch voltage. During this time, the
Chip Select (CS) must be enabled to follow the VCC voltage.
Therefore, CS must be connected to VCC through a suitable pull
up resistor. As a built in safety feature, Chip Select (CS) is both
edge sensitive and level sensitive. After power up, the device is
not selected until a falling edge is detected on Chip Select (CS).
This ensures that Chip Select (CS) must have been HIGH,
before going Low to start the first operation.
mode the current drawn by the device drops to ISB
.
SPI Functional Description
As described earlier, nvSRAM performs a Power Up Recall
operation after power up and therefore, all memory accesses are
disabled for tRECALL duration after power up. The HSB pin can
be probed to check the ready/busy status of nvSRAM after power
up.
The CY14B101P uses an 8-bit instruction register. Instructions
addresses, and data are transferred with the MSB first and start
with a HIGH to LOW CS transition. There are, in all, 12 SPI
instructions which provide access to most of the functions in
nvSRAM. Further, the WP and HOLD pins provide additional
functionality driven through hardware.
Power On Reset
A Power On Reset (POR) circuit is included to prevent
inadvertent writes. At power up, the device does not respond to
any instruction until the VCC reaches the Power On Reset
threshold voltage (VSWITCH). After VCC transitions the POR
threshold, the device is internally reset and performs a Power Up
Recall operation. The device is in the following state after POR:

Status of the device or the Ready status of the device. RDY bit
is set by the device to 1 whenever a STORE cycle is in progress.
The Block Protection and WPEN bits indicate the extent of

WRSR instruction is a write instruction and needs writes to be
enabled (WEN bit set to ‘1’) using the WREN instruction before
it is issued. The instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS
using the opcode for WRSR followed by eight bits of data to be
stored in the Status Register. Since, only bits 2, 3, and 7 can be
modified by WRSR instruction, it is recommended to leave the
other bits as ‘0’ while writing to the Status Register.
This instruction is issued after the falling edge of CS using the
opcode for RDSR.

saved to nonvolatile memory only after a STORE operation. If
AutoStore is disabled, any modifications to the Status Register
must be secured by using a Software STORE operation

Write Enable (WREN) Instruction
SO
On power up, the device is always in the write disable state. The
following WRITE, WRSR, WRTC, or nvSRAM special instruction
must therefore be preceded by a Write Enable instruction. If the
device is not write enabled (WEN = ‘0’), it ignores the write
instructions and returns to the standby state when CS is brought
HIGH. A new CS falling edge is required to re-initiate serial
communication. The instruction is issued following the falling
edge of CS. When this instruction is used, the WEN bit of status
register is set to ‘1’.
Block Protection
Block protection is provided using the BP0 and BP1 pins of the
Status register. These bits can be set using WRSR instruction
and probed using the RDSR instruction. The nvSRAM is divided
into four array segments. One-quarter, one-half, or all of the
memory segments can be protected. Any data within the
Block Protect bits.
Note After completion of a write instruction (WRSR, WRITE, or
WRTC) or nvSRAM special instruction (STORE, RECALL,
ASENB, ASDISB) instruction, WEN bit is cleared to ‘0’. This is
done to provide protection from any inadvertent writes.
Therefore, WREN instruction needs to be used before a new
write instruction can be issued.

The write protect pin (WP) is used to provide hardware write

when held HIGH. When the WP pin is brought LOW and WPEN
bit is “1”, all write operations to the status register are inhibited.
The hardware write protection function is blocked when the
WPEN bit is “0”. This allows the user to install the CY14B101P
in a system with the WP pin tied to ground, and still write to the

When WP pin is LOW and WPEN is set to “1”, any modifications

protected by setting the BP0 and BP1 bits and the WP pin inhibits
any modification of the status register bits, providing hardware
write protection.
data (D7-D0) at the specific address is shifted out on the SO line
on the falling edge of SCK. Any other data on SI line after the last
address bit is ignored.
CY14B101P allows reads to be performed in bursts through SPI
which can be used to read consecutive addresses without
issuing a new READ instruction. If only one byte is to be read,
the CS line must be driven HIGH after one byte of data comes
out. However, the read sequence may be continued by holding
the CS line LOW and the address is automatically incremented
and data continues to shift out on SO pin. When the last data
memory address (0x1FFFF) is reached, the address rolls over to
0x0000 and the device continues to read.
Note WP going LOW when CS is still LOW has no effect on any
of the ongoing write operations to the status register.

The write operations on CY14B101P are performed through the
Serial Input (SI) pin. To perform a write operation CY14B101P, if
the device is write disabled, then the device must first be write
enabled through the WREN instruction. When the writes are
enabled (WEN = ‘1’), WRITE instruction is issued after the falling
edge of CS. A WRITE instruction constitutes transmitting the
WRITE opcode on SI line followed by 3-bytes address sequence
and the data (D7-D0) which is to be written. The Most Significant
address byte contains A16 in bit 0 with other bits being don’t
cares. Address bits A15 to A0 are sent in the following two
address bytes.

Memory Access
All memory accesses are done using the READ and WRITE
instructions. These instructions cannot be used while a STORE
or RECALL cycle is in progress. A STORE cycle in progress is
indicated by the RDY bit of the status register and the HSB pin.
CY14B101P allows writes to be performed in bursts through SPI
which can be used to write consecutive addresses without
issuing a new WRITE instruction. If only one byte is to be written,
the CS line must be driven HIGH after the D0 (LSB of data) is
transmitted. However, if more bytes are to be written, CS line
must be held LOW and address incremented automatically. The
following bytes on the SI line are treated as data bytes and
written in the successive addresses. When the last data memory
address (0x1FFFF) is reached, the address rolls over to 0x0000
and the device continues to write.
Read Sequence (READ)
The read operations on CY14B101P are performed by giving the
instruction on Serial Input pin (SI) and reading the output on
Serial Output (SO) pin. The following sequence needs to be
followed for a read operation: After the CS line is pulled LOW to
select a device, the read opcode is transmitted through the SI
line followed by three bytes of address. The Most Significant
address byte contains A16 in bit 0 and other bits as don’t cares.
Address bits A15 to A0 are sent in the following two address
bytes. After the last address bit is transmitted on the SI pin, the
The WEN bit is reset to “0” on completion of a WRITE sequence.

The R bit in RTC Flag register must be set to '1' before reading
RTC time keeping registers to avoid reading transitional data.
Modifying the RTC Flag registers requires a Write RTC cycle.
The R bit must be cleared to '0' after completion of the read
operation.
The easiest way to read RTC registers is to perform RDRTC in
burst mode. The read may start from the first RTC register (0x00)
and the CS must be held LOW to allow the data from all 16 RTC
registers to be transmitted through the SO pin.
READ RTC (RDRTC) Instruction
Read RTC (RDRTC) instruction allows the user to read the
contents of RTC registers. Reading the RTC registers through
the serial output (SO) pin requires the following sequence: After
the CS line is pulled LOW to select a device, the RDRTC opcode
is transmitted through the SI line followed by eight address bits
for selecting the register. Any data on the SI line after the address
bits is ignored. The data (D7-D0) at the specified address is then
shifted out onto the SO line. RDRTC also allows burst mode read
operation. When reading multiple bytes from RTC registers, the
address rolls over to 0x00 after the last RTC register address
(0x0F) is reached.
Note Read RTC instruction operates at a maximum clock
frequency of 25 MHz.

WRITE RTC (WRTC) Instruction
WRITE RTC (WRTC) instruction allows the user to modify the
contents of RTC registers. The WRTC instruction requires the
WEN bit to be set to '1' before it can be issued. If WEN bit is '0',
a WREN instruction needs to be issued before using WRTC.
Writing RTC registers requires the following sequence: After the
CS line is pulled LOW to select a device, WRTC opcode is trans-
mitted through the SI line followed by eight address bits identi-
fying the register which is to be written to and one or more bytes
Note that writing to RTC timekeeping and control registers
require the W bit to be set to '1'. The values in these RTC
registers take effect only after the W bit is cleared to '0'. Write
Enable bit (WEN) is automatically cleared to ‘0’ after completion
of the WRTC instruction.

Backup Power
Real Time Clock Operation
The RTC in the CY14B101P is intended for permanently
powered operation. The VRTCcap or VRTCbat pin is connected
depending on whether a capacitor or battery is chosen for the
application. When the primary power, VCC, fails and drops below
nvTIME Operation
The CY14B101P offers internal registers that contain clock,
alarm, watchdog, interrupt, and control functions. The RTC
registers occupy a separate address space from nvSRAM and
are accessible through Read RTC (RDRTC) and Write RTC
(WRTC) instructions on register addresses 0x00 to 0x0F. Internal
double buffering of the clock and the timer information registers
prevents accessing transitional internal clock data during a read
or write operation. Double buffering also circumvents disrupting
normal timing counts or the clock accuracy of the internal clock
when accessing clock data. Clock and alarm registers store data
in BCD format.
VSWITCH the device switches to the backup power supply.
The clock oscillator uses very little current, which maximizes the
backup time available from the backup source. Regardless of the
clock operation with the primary source removed, the data stored
in the nvSRAM is secure, having been stored in the nonvolatile
elements when power was lost.
During backup operation, the CY14B101P consumes
a
maximum of 300 nanoamps at room temperature. The user must
choose capacitor or battery values according to the application.
Clock Operations
Backup time values based on maximum current specifications
are shown in the following table. Nominal backup times are
approximately two times longer.
The clock registers maintain time up to 9,999 years in
one-second increments. The time can be set to any calendar
time and the clock automatically keeps track of days of the week
and month, leap years, and century transitions. There are eight
registers dedicated to the clock functions, which are used to set
time with a write cycle and to read time during a read cycle.
These registers contain the time of day in BCD format. Bits
defined as ‘0’ are currently not used and are reserved for future
use by Cypress.

Reading the Clock
Using a capacitor has the obvious advantage of recharging the
backup source each time the system is powered up. If a battery
is used, a 3V lithium is recommended and the CY14B101P
sources current only from the battery when the primary power is
removed. However, the battery is not recharged at any time by
the CY14B101P. The battery capacity must be chosen for total
anticipated cumulative down time required over the life of the
system.
The double buffered RTC register structure reduces the chance
of reading incorrect data from the clock. The user must stop
internal updates to the CY14B101P time keeping registers
before reading clock data, to prevent reading of data in transition.
Stopping the register updates does not affect clock accuracy.
The updating process is stopped by writing a ‘1’ to the read bit
‘R’ (in the flags register at 0x00), and does not restart until a ‘0’
is written to the read bit. The RTC registers are read while the
internal clock continues to run. After a ‘0’ is written to the read bit
(‘R’), all RTC registers are simultaneously updated within 20 ms.
Stopping and Starting the Oscillator
The OSCEN bit in the calibration register at 0x08 controls the
enable and disable of the oscillator. This bit is nonvolatile and is
shipped to customers in the “enabled” (set to 0) state. To
preserve the battery life when the system is in storage, OSCEN
must be set to ‘1’. This turns off the oscillator circuit, extending
the battery life. If the OSCEN bit goes from disabled to enabled,
it takes approximately one second (two seconds maximum) for
the oscillator to start.
Setting the Clock
Setting the write bit ‘W’ (in the flags register at 0x00) to a ‘1’ stops
updates to the time keeping registers and enables the time to be
set. The correct day, date, and time is then written into the
registers and must be in 24-hour BCD format. The time written
is referred to as the “Base Time”. This value is stored in nonvol-
atile registers and used in the calculation of the current time.
Resetting the write bit to ‘0’ transfers the values of timekeeping
registers to the actual clock counters, after which the clock
resumes normal operation.
While system power is off, If the voltage on the backup supply
(VRTCcap or VRTCbat) falls below their respective minimum level,
the oscillator may fail.The CY14B101P has the ability to detect
oscillator failure when system power is restored. This is recorded
in the OSCF (Oscillator Failed bit) of the flags register at the
address 0x00. When the device is powered on (VCC goes above
VSWITCH) the OSCEN bit is checked for “enabled” status. If the
OSCEN bit is enabled and the oscillator is not active within the
first 5 ms, the OSCF bit is set to “1”. The system must check for
this condition and then write ‘0’ to clear the flag. Note that in
addition to setting the OSCF flag bit, the time registers are reset
the value last written to the timekeeping registers. The control or
calibration registers and the OSCEN bit are not affected by the
‘oscillator failed’ condition.
If the time written to the timekeeping registers is not in the correct
BCD format, each invalid nibble of the RTC registers continue
counting to 0xF before rolling over to 0x0 after which RTC
resumes normal operation.
Note The values entered in the timekeeping, alarm, calibration,
and interrupt registers must be saved to nonvolatile memory by
a STORE operation. Therefore, while working in AutoStore
disabled mode, perform a STORE operation after writing into the
RTC registers for the modifications to be correctly recorded.
Document #: 001-44109 Rev. *B

CY14B101P
PRELIMINARY
The value of OSCF must be reset to ‘0’ when the time registers
are written for the first time. This initializes the state of this bit
which may have become set when the system was first powered
on.
There are four alarm match fields - date, hours, minutes, and
seconds. Each of these fields has a match bit that is used to
determine if the field is used in the alarm match logic. Setting the
match bit to ‘0’ indicates that the corresponding field is used in
the match process. Depending on the match bits, the alarm
occurs as specifically as once a month or as frequently as once
every minute. Selecting none of the match bits (all 1s) indicates
that no match is required and therefore, alarm is disabled.
Selecting all match bits (all 0s) causes an exact time and date
match.
To reset OSCF, set the write bit “W” (in the Flags register at 0x00)
to a “1” to enable writes to the Flag register. Write a “0” to the
OSCF bit and then reset the write bit to “0” to disable writes.
Calibrating the Clock
The RTC is driven by a quartz controlled crystal with a nominal
frequency of 32.768 kHz. Clock accuracy depends on the quality
of the crystal and calibration. The crystals available in market
typically have an error of +20 ppm to +35 ppm. However,
CY14B101P employs a calibration circuit that improves the
accuracy to +1/–2 ppm at 25°C. This implies an error of +2.5
seconds to -5 seconds per month.
There are two ways to detect an alarm event: by reading the AF
flag or monitoring the INT pin. The AF flag in the flags register at
0x00 indicates that a date or time match has occurred. The AF
bit is set to “1” when a match occurs. Reading the flags register
clears the alarm flag bit (and all others). A hardware interrupt pin
may also be used to detect an alarm event.
To set, clear or enable an alarm, set the ‘W’ bit (in Flags Register
- 0x00) to ‘1’ to enable writes to Alarm Registers. After writing the
alarm value, clear the ‘W’ bit back to “0” for the changes to take
effect.
The calibration circuit adds or subtracts counts from the oscillator
divider circuit to achieve this accuracy. The number of pulses that
are suppressed (subtracted, negative calibration) or split (added,
positive calibration) depends upon the value loaded into the five
calibration bits found in Calibration register at 0x08. The
calibration bits occupy the five lower order bits in the Calibration
register. These bits are set to represent any value between ‘0’
and 31 in binary form. Bit D5 is a sign bit, where a ‘1’ indicates
positive calibration and a ‘0’ indicates negative calibration.
Adding counts speeds the clock up and subtracting counts slows
the clock down. If a binary ‘1’ is loaded into the register, it corre-
sponds to an adjustment of 4.068 or –2.034 ppm offset in oscil-
lator error, depending on the sign.
Note CY14B101P requires the alarm match bit for seconds
(0x02 - D7) to be set to ‘0’ for proper operation of Alarm Flag and
Interrupt.
Watchdog Timer
The Watchdog Timer is a free running down counter that uses
the 32 Hz clock (31.25 ms) derived from the crystal oscillator.
The oscillator must be running for the watchdog to function. It
begins counting down from the value loaded in the Watchdog
Timer register.
Calibration occurs within a 64-minute cycle. The first 62 minutes
in the cycle may, once per minute, have one second shortened
by 128 or lengthened by 256 oscillator cycles. If a binary ‘1’ is
loaded into the register, only the first two minutes of the
64-minute cycle are modified. If a binary 6 is loaded, the first 12
are affected, and so on. Therefore, each calibration step has the
effect of adding 512 or subtracting 256 oscillator cycles for every
125,829,120 actual oscillator cycles, that is, 4.068 or –2.034 ppm
of adjustment per calibration step in the Calibration register.
The timer consists of a loadable register and a free running
counter. On power up, the watchdog time out value in register
0x07 is loaded into the Counter Load register. Counting begins
on power up and restarts from the loadable value any time the
Watchdog Strobe (WDS) bit is set to ‘1’. The counter is compared
to the terminal value of ‘0’. If the counter reaches this value, it
causes an internal flag and an optional interrupt output. You can
prevent the time out interrupt by setting WDS bit to ‘1’ prior to the
counter reaching ‘0’. This causes the counter to reload with the
watchdog time out value and to be restarted. As long as the user
sets the WDS bit prior to the counter reaching the terminal value,
the interrupt and WDT flag never occur.
To determine the required calibration, the CAL bit in the Flags
register (0x00) must be set to ‘1’. This causes the INT pin to
toggle at a nominal frequency of 512 Hz. Any deviation
measured from the 512 Hz indicates the degree and direction of
the required correction. For example, a reading of 512.01024 Hz
indicates a +20 ppm error. Hence, a decimal value of –10
(001010b) must be loaded into the Calibration register to offset
this error.
New time out values are written by setting the watchdog write bit
to ‘0’. When the WDW is ‘0’, new writes to the watchdog time out
value bits D5-D0 are enabled to modify the time out value. When
WDW is ‘1’, writes to bits D5-D0 are ignored. The WDW function
enables a user to set the WDS bit without concern that the
watchdog timer value is modified. A logical diagram of the
setting the watchdog time out value to ‘0’ disables the watchdog
function.
Note Setting or changing the Calibration register does not affect
the test output frequency.
To set or clear CAL, set the write bit “W” (in the flags register at
0x00) to “1” to enable writes to the Flag register. Write a value to
CAL, and then reset the write bit to “0” to disable writes.
The output of the watchdog timer is the flag bit WDF that is set if
the watchdog is allowed to time out. If the Watchdog Interrupt
Enable (WIE) bit in the Interrupt register is set, a hardware
interrupt on INT pin is also generated on watchdog timeout. The
flag and the hardware interrupt are both cleared when user reads
the Flags registers.
Alarm
The alarm function compares user programmed values of alarm
time and date (stored in the registers 0x01-5) with the corre-
sponding time of day and date values. When a match occurs, the
alarm internal flag (AF) is set and an interrupt is generated on
INT pin if Alarm Interrupt Enable (AIE) bit is set.

Interrupt register and can be used to drive level or pulse mode
output from the INT pin. In pulse mode, the pulse width is
internally fixed at approximately 200 ms. This mode is intended
to reset a host microcontroller. In the level mode, the pin goes to
its active polarity until the Flags register is read by the user. This
mode is used as an interrupt to a host microcontroller. The
control bits are summarized in the following section.

The CY14B101P provides a power management scheme with
power fail interrupt capability. It also controls the internal switch
to backup power for the clock and protects the memory from low
Power Fail Interrupt Enable - PFE. When set to ‘1’, the power
fail monitor drives the pin and an internal flag. When PFE is set
to ‘0’, the power fail monitor only affects the PF flag in Flags

V
CC access. The power monitor is based on an internal band gap
reference circuit that compares the VCC voltage to VSWITCH
threshold.
High/Low - H/L. When set to a ‘1’, the INT pin is active HIGH
and the driver mode is push pull. The INT pin drives high only
when VCC is greater than VSWITCH. When set to a ‘0’, the INT pin
is active LOW and the drive mode is open drain. The INT pin
must be pulled up to Vcc by a 10k resistor while using the
interrupt in active LOW mode.
when VSWITCH is reached as VCC decays from power loss, a data
store operation is initiated from SRAM to the nonvolatile
elements, securing the last SRAM data state. Power is also
switched from VCC to the backup supply (battery or capacitor) to
operate the RTC oscillator.
Pulse/Level - P/L. When set to a ‘1’ and an interrupt occurs, the
INT pin is driven for approximately 200 ms. When P/L is set to a
‘0’, the INT pin is driven high or low (determined by H/L) until the
Flags or Control register is read.
When operating from the backup source, read and write opera-
tions to nvSRAM are inhibited and the clock functions are not
available to the user. The clock continues to operate in the
background. The updated clock data is available to the user
tHRECALL delay after VCC is restored to the device (see
When an enabled interrupt source activates the INT pin, an
external host reads the Flags registers to determine the cause.
Remember that all flags are cleared when the register is read. If
the INT pin is programmed for Level mode, then the condition
clears and the INT pin returns to its inactive state. If the pin is
programmed for Pulse mode, then reading the flag also clears
the flag and the pin. The pulse does not complete its specified
duration if the Flags register is read. If the INT pin is used as a
host reset, the Flags register is not read during a reset.
Interrupts
The CY14B101P has a Flags register, Interrupt register, and
Interrupt logic that can signal interrupt to the microcontroller.
There are three potential sources for interrupt: watchdog timer,
power monitor, and alarm timer. Each of these can be individually
enabled to drive the INT pin by appropriate setting in the Interrupt
register (0x06). In addition, each has an associated flag bit in the
Flags register (0x00) that the host processor uses to determine
the cause of the interrupt. The INT pin driver has two bits that
specify its behavior when an interrupt occurs.
Flags Register
The Flag register has three flag bits: WDF, AF, and PF, which can
be used to generate an interrupt. These flags are set by the
watchdog timeout, alarm match, or power fail monitor respec-
tively. The processor can either poll this register or enable inter-
rupts to be informed when a flag is set. These flags are automat-
ically reset once the register is read. The flags register is
automatically loaded with the value 0x00 on power up (except for
An Interrupt is raised only if both a flag is raised by one of the
three sources and the respective interrupt enable bit in Interrupts

two programmable bits, H/L and P/L, determine the behavior of

timekeeping registers to ensure that transitional values of time
are not read.
Accessing the Real Time Clock through SPI
CY14B101P uses 16 registers for Real Time Clock (RTC). These
registers can be read out or written to by accessing all 16
registers in burst mode or accessing each register, one at a time.
The RDRTC and WRTC instructions are used to access the
RTC.
Writes to the RTC register are performed using the WRTC
instruction. Writing RTC timekeeping registers and control
registers, except for the flag register needs the ‘W’ bit of the flag
register to be set to “1”. The internal counters are updated with
the new date and time setting when the ‘W’ bit is cleared to ‘0’.
All the RTC registers can also be written in burst mode using the
WRTC instruction.
All the RTC registers can be read in burst mode by issuing the
RDRTC instruction and and reading all 16 bytes without bringing
the CS pin HIGH. The ‘R’ bit must be set while reading the RTC

12. This is the amount of time it takes to take action on a soft sequence command. Vcc power must remain HIGH to effectively register command.
13. Commands such as STORE and RECALL lock out IO until operation is complete which further increases this time. See the specific command.
