Note:

Clock calibration

The M41T8x oscillator is designed for use with a 12.5pF crystal load capacitance. When the

calibration circuit is properly employed, accuracy improves to better than ±1 ppm at 25°C.

The M41T8x design provides the following two methods for clock error correction.

Digital calibration (periodic counter correction)

This method employs the use of periodic counter correction by adjusting the ratio of the

100Hz divider stage to the 512Hz divider stage. Under normal operation, the 100Hz divider

stage outputs precisely 100 pulses for every 512 pulses of the 512Hz input stage to provide

the input frequency to the Fraction of Seconds Clock register. By adjusting the number of

512Hz input pulses used to generate 100 output pulses, the clock can be sped up or slowed

down, as shown in Figure 19 on page 34.

When a non-zero value is loaded into the five Calibration bits (DC4 – DC0) found in the

Digital Calibration Register (08h) and the sign bit is ‘1’, (indicating positive calibration), the

100Hz stage outputs 100 pulses for every 511 input pulses instead of the normal 512. Since

the 100 pulses are now being output in a shorter window, this has the effect of speeding up

the clock by 1/512 seconds for each second the circuit is active. Similarly, when the sign bit

is ‘0’, indicating negative calibration, the block outputs 100 pulses for every 513 input

pulses. Since the 100 pulses are then being output in a longer window, this has the effect of

slowing down the clock by 1/512 seconds for each second the circuit is active.

The amount of calibration is controlled by using the value in the calibration register (N) to

generate the adjustment in one second increments. This is done N times per minute, for

every minute, for positive calibration, and N times per minute every other minute for

negative calibration (see Table 6 on page 29).

For example, if the Calibration register is set to '100010,' then the adjustment will occur for

two seconds in every minute. Similarly, if the calibration register is set to '000011,' then the

adjustment will occur for 3 seconds in every alternating minute.

The Digital Calibration bits (DC4 – DC0) occupy the five lower order bits in the Digital

Calibration Register (08h). These bits can be set to represent any value between 0 and 31

in binary form. The sixth bit (DCS) is a Sign bit; '1' indicates positive calibration, '0' indicates

negative calibration. Calibration occurs within an 8-minute (positive) or 16-minute (negative)

cycle. Therefore, each calibration step has an effect on clock accuracy of +4.068 or –2.034

ppm. Assuming that the oscillator is running at exactly 32,768Hz, each of the 31 increments

in the Calibration byte would represent +10.7 or –5.35 seconds per month, which

corresponds to a total range of +5.5 or –2.75 minutes per month.

The modified pulses are not observable on the Frequency Test (FT) output, nor will the

effect of the calibration be measurable real-time, due to the periodic nature of the error

compensation.
