Product details
Overview
DS1315E-5+ from Maxim Integrated is a real-time clock (RTC) and nonvolatile memory controller IC combining timekeeping (hundredths of seconds to years, with automatic leap-year correction through 2100) and battery-backed SRAM support in a single 20-pin TSSOP package operating at +5V. It interfaces with external CMOS RAM/ROM without memory gaps and provides dual-battery redundancy for high-reliability industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1315E-5+ datasheet, DS1315E-5+ pinout, DS1315E-5+ application, or DS1315E-5+ equivalent, this page delivers verified timing accuracy, battery switchover behavior, power-fail detection thresholds, and serial pattern-access protocol details essential for embedded system design and BOM validation.
Technical Context
The DS1315E-5+ implements a 64-bit serial pattern recognition protocol (C5h, 3Ah, A3h, 5Ch repeated) to gate access to its eight BCD-formatted time registers, isolating RTC operations from memory bus traffic via CEO pin control. Its internal oscillator drives from a 32.768kHz crystal connected to X1/X2 with 6pF load capacitance requirement.
As a nonvolatile controller, it supports RAM mode (ROM/RAM = GND) with VCC0 output supplying uninterrupted power to external SRAM at ≤0.3V drop, and ROM mode (ROM/RAM = VCC0) with CEO forced low during power fail. Power-fail detection triggers at VPF = 4.25–4.5V (5V operation), initiating automatic battery selection between BAT1 and BAT2 based on voltage ranking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | +5V nominal, ±10% operating range (4.5V–5.5V) - enables direct compatibility with legacy 5V logic systems without level shifting. |
| Timekeeping Range | Hundredths of seconds to year 2100 with automatic leap-year correction - eliminates firmware calendar logic for long-life deployments. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - validated for commercial-grade embedded applications including point-of-sale and industrial HMI. |
| Package | 20-pin TSSOP (4.4mm width) - surface-mount footprint with 0.65mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. |
| Power-Fail Threshold | VPF = 4.25–4.5V - precise bandgap-based detection ensures reliable SRAM write protection before VCC collapse. |
| Battery Switchover | Automatic selection between BAT1 and BAT2 based on higher voltage - sustains VCC0 output without external diode-or circuitry. |
| Crystal Load | 6pF - specifies exact CL requirement for stable 32.768kHz oscillation; deviation risks timing drift or startup failure. |
Pinout & Package
DS1315E-5+ uses a 20-pin TSSOP (4.4mm body width) package with exposed pad (not electrically connected). Pin 1 is marked by a dot or beveled corner; pins are numbered counter-clockwise from pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| X1, X2 | Crystal oscillator inputs | Direct connection point for 32.768kHz tuning fork crystal; requires 6pF load capacitance for ±20ppm accuracy. |
| WE | Write enable control | Active-low signal enabling data writes during pattern recognition or time register updates; must meet tWP ≥55ns minimum pulse width. |
| BAT1, BAT2 | Redundant battery inputs | Independent backup power sources; internal comparator selects higher-voltage source to drive VCC0 during main supply loss. |
| GND | Ground reference | Two dedicated ground pins (pins 6 and 10) reduce noise coupling into sensitive RTC and memory interface circuits. |
| D, Q | Serial data I/O | Single-wire bidirectional interface for 64-bit pattern entry and time register read/write; no address lines required. |
| ROM/RAM | Memory mode select | Logic low configures nonvolatile SRAM controller with VCC0 output; logic high configures ROM interface with CEO forced low on power fail. |
| CEO, CEI, OE | Memory bus control | CEO outputs chip-enable state to external memory; CEI and OE synchronize read/write cycles with external logic; all meet tCO/tOE ≤55ns (5V). |
| RST | Hardware reset input | Asynchronous active-low reset aborts ongoing transfers without altering time registers; requires tRST ≥65ns pulse width. |
| VCC1, VCC0 | Main supply / switched output | VCC1 powers internal circuitry; VCC0 delivers regulated backup power to SRAM with ≤0.3V dropout, enabling true nonvolatility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No address bus required | Eliminates address decoding logic and reduces MCU GPIO count by using 64-bit serial pattern access instead of parallel addressing. |
| Dual-battery support | Enables field-replaceable battery maintenance without system downtime; automatic switchover prevents VCC0 interruption during battery swap. |
| Leap-year correction to 2100 | Removes need for periodic firmware updates to calendar algorithms, critical for unattended infrastructure monitoring systems. |
| Full ±10% VCC tolerance | Accepts brownout conditions down to 4.5V without RTC stoppage or register corruption, improving resilience in noisy power environments. |
| Industrial-grade temperature option | DS1315EN-5+ variant extends operation to –40°C to +85°C, supporting deployment in outdoor kiosks and factory automation controllers. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar real-time clock and nonvolatile memory controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1307+T&R | Lacks nonvolatile memory controller; only RTC function with I²C interface and no pattern recognition or CEO pin. | Suitable for simple timekeeping where external battery-backed RAM is separately managed. | Select DS1315E-5+ when integrated SRAM power management and bus isolation are required; DS1307+T&R only when I²C simplicity suffices. |
| M41T81SM6TR | Serial SPI interface, no dual-battery support, fixed 3.3V operation, no pattern recognition protocol. | Designed for compact SPI-based microcontrollers; lacks VCC0 output and automatic battery switchover. | Choose DS1315E-5+ for 5V systems needing robust power-fail response and hardware-level memory isolation; M41T81SM6TR for SPI-constrained designs. |
Compared with DS1307+T&R and M41T81SM6TR, DS1315E-5+ uniquely integrates timekeeping, pattern-gated register access, and dual-battery-controlled VCC0 output in a single 5V-compatible device-enabling zero-software RTC initialization and eliminating external power-path diodes or supervisors.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the DS1315E-5+?
The DS1315E-5+ is a combined real-time clock and nonvolatile memory controller IC. It maintains accurate time (hundredths of seconds to years with leap-year correction through 2100) while providing battery-backed power to external CMOS SRAM via its VCC0 output. Its unique 64-bit serial pattern recognition protocol isolates RTC access from memory bus operations, making DS1315E-5+ ideal for systems requiring guaranteed timestamp integrity and seamless SRAM retention during power loss.
Does DS1315E-5+ require an external crystal?
Yes, DS1315E-5+ requires an external 32.768kHz quartz crystal connected to pins X1 and X2. The crystal must have a specified load capacitance (CL) of 6 pF to ensure stable oscillation and ±20ppm timing accuracy across temperature. No internal oscillator is provided; DS1315E-5+ relies entirely on this external crystal for timebase generation.
How does the dual-battery feature work on DS1315E-5+?
DS1315E-5+ monitors BAT1 and BAT2 inputs continuously and automatically selects the higher-voltage source to drive VCC0 during main supply (VCC1) failure. This switchover occurs without interruption to external SRAM, enabling hot-swap battery replacement. If only one battery is used, the unused input must be grounded per datasheet guidance to prevent undefined behavior in DS1315E-5+ operation.
What is the purpose of the 64-bit pattern recognition sequence in DS1315E-5+?
The 64-bit pattern (C5h, 3Ah, A3h, 5Ch repeated) serves as a hardware-level access key to the DS1315E-5+ time registers. Until this exact sequence is written consecutively via the D pin, all bus activity is routed to external memory through CEO. This prevents accidental or malicious modification of time data and eliminates the need for software-managed address decoding-making DS1315E-5+ inherently secure against unintended RTC register writes.
Can DS1315E-5+ operate with 3.3V logic levels?
No, DS1315E-5+ is specifically rated for +5V operation (4.5V–5.5V). For 3.3V systems, the pin-compatible DS1315E-33+ variant must be used. Attempting to power DS1315E-5+ from 3.3V violates its recommended operating conditions and will result in unreliable timekeeping, failed pattern recognition, and improper VCC0 regulation-compromising the core functionality of DS1315E-5+.
