RAM clea r in p u t
When MOT = VCC, DS controls data trans-
fer during a bq3285ED/LD bus cycle. Dur-
ing a read cycle, the bq3285ED/LD drives
the bus after the rising edge on DS. During
a write cycle, the falling edge on DS is used
to latch write data into the chip.
A low level on the RCL pin causes the con-
tents of each of the 242 storage bytes to be
set to FF(hex). The contents of the clock
and control registers are unaffected. This
pin should be used as a user-interface input
(pushbutton to ground) and not connected
to the output of any active component. RCL
input is only recognized when held low for
at least 125ms in the presence of VCC. Us-
ing RAM clear does not affect the battery
load. This pin is connected internally to a
30kΩ pull-up resistor.
When MOT = VSS, the DS input is provided
a signal similar to RD, MEMR, or I/OR in
an Intel-based system. The falling edge on
DS is used to enable the outputs during a
read cycle.

BC
3V ba ck u p cell in p u t
When MOT = VCC, the level on R/W identi-
fies the direction of data transfer. A high
level on R/W indicates a read bus cycle,
whereas a low on this pin indicates a write
bus cycle.
BC should be connected to a 3V backup cell
for RTC operation and storage register non-
volatility in the absence of system power.
When VCC slews down past VBC (3V typi-
cal), the integral control circuitry switches
the power source to BC. When VCC returns
above VBC, the power source is switched to

Upon power-up, a voltage within the VBC
range must be present on the BC pin for
the oscillator to start up.

CS should be driven low and held stable

RST
Reset in p u t
The bq3285ED/LD is reset when RST is
pulled low. When reset, INT becomes high
impedance, and the bq3285ED/LD is not ac-
cessible. Table 4 in the Control/Status Reg-
isters section lists the register bits that are
cleared by a reset.
INT
In ter r u p t r equ est ou tp u t
INT is an open-drain output. This allows
alarm INT to be valid in battery-backup
m ode. To u se t h is fea t u r e, con n ect INT
through a resistor to a power supply other
than VCC. INT is asserted low when any
event fla g is set a n d t he correspon ding
event enable bit is also set. INT becomes
high-impedance whenever register C is read
(see the Control/Status Registers section).
Reset may be disabled by connecting RST
to VCC
