real time clock interfacing with 8051?

rtc interfacing with 8051

hi,
i'm doing a project to display the temperature using lm35,adc0804 on an lcd.
now i also want to display the time on the second line of lcd using ds12887(or any other rtc),i would like to know how to interface it since it is considered as external memory. rest of my code is in C.
thank u.

rtc interfacing with microcontroller

Use DS1307 RTC. It has I2C interface.

Check this tutorial

interfacing rtc with microcontroller

The DS12887 is also a very good candidate, especially that you don't need external battery and 32kHz crystal - everything is build-in ..

Here are some tips:

If you decide to use it and will need more help - come back and ask ..

interface 8051 and rtc

dedicate one onboard timer (in 8051) for the clock, that should do, whats the crystal frequency u're using?

Use pointer to address xram mapped DS12887, as this example:


Another method is:
will produce:
and will move 0x55 into absolute location 0x1234 in xdata.

8051 onboard timer isn't RTC (real time clock), kiranmayik discusses about RTC.

8051 rtc interface

thanx everyone i'm studying about these.
will come back for doubts.

Added after 12 minutes:

where do i connect EA to.
until now i connected it to Vcc.
but if i have to interface it to RTC (external memory) do i have to connect it to ground.

ds12887 interface with 8051

EA is external program memory enable pin, that pin is not for external data memory (ie ds12887).
So remain connect EA to Vcc.

at89c51 ds1307 interface

Just remember that if you connect /WR and /RD directly to the DS12887 its address area will start at 0000h .. so, for example, to read seconds the DPTR register has to be loaded with 0000h ..

rtc interfacing with 89c51

hi,

lemme elaborate on using one (on board) timer for rtc. if u're using 12MHz crystal. the system clock is 1MHz (in at89cxx series) = 1 micro second. use one of the clock in autoreload mode. that is 8 bit auto reload value can be stored in th0 (or 1). place -6 in it. [ this is the simplest way to realize rtc using timer]
each interrupt generated is 250 micro seconds.
increment a counter in the ISR. see to that u use 2 incremented registers to make up a second (4000 such interrupts)

but this is a tedious and mips wasting process. but really accurate



i already have a clock running in this way, using 89c51



advantages of autoreload mode:
u dont miss any clock pulse. since its autoreloaded, and edge triggered. every pulse is counted.

the crystal we get in general is highly accurate ( the chances of error[by environment changes] is 6 ppm to the max.)

so its around 0-6 seconds error in a year(thats precise)



so why do want a clock/calendar module just for clock(time) display?



******************************************************

EA-bar signal is used to tell the 89c51, from where the 0000h address starts from.

if EA-bar signal is shorted with VCC, then the 0000h of program memory starts from internal memory and goes upto FFFFh into external memory. (is a must if u have ur code in the internal flash rom)

if EA-bar signal is shorted with ground. the 0000h of program memory starts in the external memory (so the code in the internal flash rom is not executed).

conclusion: Connect EA-bar pin to VCC if u're using internal flash

pcf 8583 interfacing 8051

i have another doubt
im connecting the rtc(external mem) to Port 0, so do i still need to connect the pull up resistores(10k) or i need not?
plz help

using 8051 microcontroller as real time clock

If you use these statements to control I/O thru Port 0
you need to connect the pull up resistors(10k)

If you use these statements to read/write data thru Port 0
forget the pull up resistors(10k)

as you'll use
it mean no pull up resistors needed.

8051 as rtc

PCF8583 is another good choice.It is easy to use and you can get more than 240 bytes extra SRAM for CPU.
Look at the C code:

interface ds1307 with at89c51

If you use these statements to control I/O thru Port 0

Code:

     MOV P0,#$55
     MOV A,P0

you need to connect the pull up resistors(10k)

Click to expand...

Some mistake, it should be:
If you use this statements to control Output thru Port 0

Code:

     MOV P0,#$55

you need to connect the pull up resistors(10k)

clock interfacing with 8051

i have implemented the rtc
but each time the power is on the time is being set to the initial time,probably i have to write a separate program for setting the time and then write another program for the rest of the code.

real time clock pulse using microcontroller 8051

Use one of the 12887 RAM location as a state byte and set a flag which will indicate wheather current time&date is valid ..
On power-on read this flag and if it is correct display current day and time, if it is not, re-initialise the RTC with the default values ..

Make sure the chip remain powered when your microcontroller voltage supply is off.

0x1234 clock

hi

I have also made a clcok project with mu 80c2051 and PCF 8385, but the problem is that the clock chip time does not remain constant, like some time it works so fast and some time it becomes slow. I dont know why it heppenes, i have used 32khz cristal with a vc (trimmer). can any one helps?

regards

working of rtc using microcontrollers

hi

have u connected seperate power supply to the rtc chip?

thatz the reason. i think

checkout the datasheet. u'll see some good designs for power down states.
