DESCRIPTION
The DS1215 Phantom Time Chip is a combination of a
CMOS timekeeper and a nonvolatile memory controller.
In the absence of power, an external battery maintains
the timekeeping operation and provides power for a
CMOS static RAM. The watch keeps track of hun-
dredths of seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, day, date,
month, and year information. The last day of the month
is automatically adjusted for months with less than 31
days, including correction for leap year every four years.
The watch operates in one of two formats: a 12–hour
mode with an AM/PM indicator or a 24–hour mode. The
nonvolatile controller supplies all the necessary support
circuitry to convert a CMOS RAM to a nonvolatile
memory. The DS1215 can be interfaced with either
RAM or ROM without leaving gaps in memory.
