FEATURES
Keeps track of hundredths of seconds, seconds, min-
utes, hours, days, date of month, months, and years
Adds timekeeping to any 28–pin JEDEC bytewide
memory location
Embedded lithium energy cell maintains calendar
time for more than 10 years in the absence of power
Timekeeping function is transparent to memory oper-
ation
Month and year determine the number of days in each
month; leap year compensation valid up to 2100
Lithium energy source is electrically disconnected to
retain freshness until power is applied for the first time

DESCRIPTION
The DS1216E SmartWatch/ROM 64/256K is a 28–pin,
600 mil–wide DIP socket with a built–in CMOS time-
keeper function and an embedded lithium energy
source to maintain time and date. It accepts any 28–pin
bytewide ROM or volatile RAM. A key feature of the
SmartWatch is that the timekeeper function remains
transparent to the memory device placed above. The
SmartWatch monitors V
CC
for an out–of–tolerance con-
dition. When such a condition occurs, an internal lithium
energy source is automatically switched on to prevent
loss of watch data.
Using the SmartWatch saves PC board space since the
combination of the SmartWatch and the mated memory
device takes up no more area than the memory alone.
The SmartWatch uses pins 1, 8, 10, 11, 20, and 22 for
timekeeper control. All pins pass through to the socket
receptacle except for pin 20 (CE), which is inhibited dur-
ing the transfer of time information.
The SmartWatch provides timekeeping information in-
cluding hundredths of seconds, seconds, minutes,
hours, days, date, month, and year information. The
date at the end of the month is automatically adjusted for
months with fewer than 31 days, including correction for
leap years. The SmartWatch operates in either 24–hour
or 12–hour format with an AM/PM indicator.
