| Problem with ds1307 |

Hello,
The driver works like a charm  but i still have one problem.
http://www.ccsinfo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=23255
RTC's 3.0V battery, should work like a backup battery in case of powering down the main circuit, right?
So, i have my rtc in a circuit with a PIC (obviously) and the positive pole of the battery connected to VBAT and the negative pole connected to GND (GND is common to the entire circuit). If i leave the connection like this, the values of my rtc are not correct, and are always the same, if i connect VBAT to GND it works well, also works well if i switch the poles of the battery, meaning, VBAT to negative pole, GND to positive pole, but when i shut down the main power source the rtc does not keeps on counting, it resets it self.
In resume:
Battery poles connected right (like the datasheet of DS1307 suggests): RTC does not count.
Battery poles connected inverted: RTC count while the main power source is connected.
Does anyone has any idea why this happens?
Best Wishes

You connected the battery backwards. You probably blew out the Vbat
circuit inside the ds1307. Never connect the power backwards on any IC. |

Ok, that might have happened...
New DS1307, new battery, same result...
The output is:
45-25--1 85 45:85:85
I have made some search in this forum about this problem, but have found no solution.
My main.c is: (don't mind the comments)
| Code: |
#include <18F26K20.h>
#fuses HS, NOWDT,NOPROTECT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=20000000)
#use rs232(uart1,baud=9600,stream=PC,errors)
#include <ds1307.c>
void main()
{
BYTE dia,mes,ano,dow,hora,min,seg;
ds1307_init();
// Set date for -> 15 June 2005 Tuesday
// Set time for -> 15:20:55
ds1307_set_date_time(31,12,9,2,23,59,55);
while(1)
{
delay_ms(1000);
ds1307_get_date(dia,mes,ano,dow);
ds1307_get_time(hora,min,seg);
fprintf(PC,"%02d-%02d-%02d %02d %02d:%02d:%02d",dia,mes,ano,dow,hora,min,seg);
fprintf(PC,"\r\n");
}
}

I don't know where more to pickup...
Thanks
EDIT: By the way, I have the PIC and RTC powered with 3.3V on VCC pin. |

Did you read the datasheet? DS1307 minimal supply voltage is specified with 4.5 V. |

I tested this configuration a few years ago and the DS1307 will not work with a VCC 3.3 volts.

| Hi Just to let you I have used DS1307 but this IC is horrendously inaccurate minimum 8 seconds plus per day |

The DS1307, is as accurate as the time source you use to feed it. No better, no worse.
Get a good crystal, make sure the PCB layout is designed to minimise stray capacitance, and pick-up from other signal sources, and if necessary trim the crystal (hint this is the difference between something like a digital Omega watch, and a cheap Japanese unit - they actually take the time to adjust the crystal frequency.....).
Now, 'watch' crystals in watches, give better accuracy than they do in general, because worn on the wrist, the temperature is better controlled. The standard watch crystal, will normally be offered with +/- 20ppm accuracies, and if maintained at around 30C, will give accuracies of perhaps 0.5 seconds/day. However stick the same unit into a bit of kit that experiences temperatures down close to freezing, or up to say 40C, and accuracies _will_ plummet. You also have to be careful when sourcing watch crystals, as many are deliberately made to run fast rather than slow, with the standard 'setup' proceedure on the unit being to measure how many extra counts it produces in a day, and then store this as a calibration constant to 'zero' the clock.
Using crystals in a reasonably temperature controlled environment (control booth for a pumping system), trimming the crystal at installation (using the master clock from Rugby in the UK), I have seen the DS1307, manage better than a minute a year.

| The ds1307 spec sheet has the battery VBAT specified as Typical 3v max 3.5v. This I hope means that with an interruption of power at 5v the DS1307 would keep time via the battery until power at 5v was restored. While on battery all the DS1307 would do is keep time and the ram alive. |

I followed PCB layout guidelines to the letter. I used a 20ppm crystal, I used decoupling caps for the power supply but still the clock was running 8 seconds too fast per day.
Tuning each crystal requires frequency counters and it is time consuming and not practical for every PCB.
In the end I had to install MSF receivers to synch the clocks, there was no other option. It was dumped after the first PCB batch.
It is best to buy an RTC ic with a tuned internal crystal the cost is not that much difference as DS1307 is overpriced anyway.
DS1307 belongs to the steam age. |

You say '20ppm' crystals, but not what loading caps they were designed for?. The point about the crystals for the DS1307, is that they should be designed for a Cl of 12.5pF. If you then follow their recommended board layout for the crystal connections (which has short lines, and a surrounding protection ring, then a ground plane outside this), the loading is very close to spec, and should do significantly better than 8 seconds per day. That your results were this bad, suggests either crystals designed for a different Cl, or PCB layout that didn't follow the recommendations.

Hi
I'm using now DS1338 (the driver for the 1307 works for this one) with 3.3V and its working well, but i have detected a problem.
To power the entire circuit I have a dual analog power supply. I set the voltage to 5V and then this 5V are regulated to power the rest of the circuit to 3.3V. So far its good.
But if I turn off the power supply with the voltage level to 5V, the RTC no longer works properly, it keeps sending wrong values.
If I lower the voltage to 0 and then turn off the power it works well the next time i turn the power on.
Am I toasting the RTC? Is the power supply with a transient behavior?
Ideas?
Thank you

If you're running the PIC at 5 volts and the RTC at 3.3, then you should have logic level translators between the two devices.
OR
You'll have to use an L version PIC( Low voltage capable).
I doubt that a 5volt PIC will correctly read/write to the RTC without proper level shifting. |
