DESCRIPTION
The Portable System Controller is a circuit which incorporates many of the functions necessary for low
power portable products integrated into one chip. The DS1677 provides a Real Time Clock, NV RAM
controller, micro-processor monitor, power–fail warning, and a 3–channel, 8–bit analog–to–digital
converter. Communication with the DS1677 is established through a simple 3–wire interface.
The Real Time Clock (RTC) provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information
with leap year compensation. The RTC also provides an alarm interrupt. This interrupt works when the
DS1677 is powered by the system power supply or when in battery backup operation so the alarm can be
used to wake up a system that is powered down.

Automatic backup and write protection of an external SRAM is provided through the VCCO and CE0 pins.
The backup energy source used to power the RTC is also used to retain RAM data in the absence of VCC
through the VCCO pin. The chip-enable output to SRAM, CE0 , is controlled during power transients to
prevent data corruption.
The microprocessor monitor circuitry of the DS1677 provides three basic functions. First, a precision
temperature–compensated reference and comparator circuit monitors the status of VCC. When an out–of–
tolerance condition occurs, an internal power–fail signal is generated which forces the to RST the active
state. When VCC returns to an in–tolerance condition, the RST signal is kept in the active state for
250 ms to allow the power supply and processor to stabilize. The DS1677 debounces a push–button input
and guarantees an active RST pulse width of 250 ms. The third function is a watchdog timer. The
DS1677 has an internal timer that forces the RST signal to the active state if the strobe input is not driven
low prior to watchdog time–out.
The DS1677 also provides a 3–channel 8–bit successive approximation analog–to–digital converter. The
converter has an internal 2.55 volt (typical) reference voltage generated by an on–board band–gap circuit.
The A/D converter is monotonic (no missing codes) and has an internal analog filter to reduce high
frequency noise.
