Description
The FM31T37x is a family of integrated devices that
includes the most commonly needed functions for
processor-based systems. Major features include
nonvolatile F-RAM memory available in various
sizes, temperature-compensated real-time clock with
embedded crystal, 32.768kHz clock output,
low-VDD reset, watchdog timer, battery backed
event counter, event driven interrupt output, lockable
64-bit serial number area, general purpose
comparator that can be used for an early power-fail
(NMI) interrupt or other purpose, and 2-wire serial
interface to a host microcontroller. The family
operates from 2.7 to 5.5V.
The real-time clock (RTC) provides time and date
information in BCD format. It can be permanently
powered from external backup voltage source, either
a battery or a capacitor. The timekeeper uses an
internal 32.768 kHz crystal which is factory-
calibrated for excellent timekeeping accuracy over
the industrial temperature range.
This is a product that has fixed target specifications but are subject
to change pending characterization results.
Rev. 1.1
Apr. 2011
The FM31T37x devices integrate 4Kb, 16Kb, 64Kb,
and 256Kb of F-RAM memory. F-RAM offers
superior write speed and unlimited endurance. This
allows the memory to provide system data collection
and as read/write RAM storage. This memory is truly
nonvolatile rather than battery-backed.
The processor companion includes commonly needed
CPU support functions. Supervisory functions
include a reset output signal controlled by either a
low VDD condition or a watchdog timeout. /RST
goes active when VDD drops below a programmable
threshold and remains active for 100 ms after VDD
rises above the trip point. A programmable watchdog
timer runs from 100 ms to 3 seconds. The watchdog
timer is optional, but if enabled it will assert the reset
signal for 100 ms if not restarted by the host before
the timeout. A flag-bit indicates the source of the
reset.
