RTC (Real Time clock) Cypress oscillator fails (oscf flag = 1), what happens ?

mmtsuchi
mmtsuchi over 16 years ago

Hi,

 

On a custom bord, I have a RTC Cypress CY14B101k wich is a nvRAM, with Real Time Clock Calendar, Alarm Clock and Watchdog.

This board uses a superCapacity (not battery) for this "RTC".

 

When the board is OFF, RTC is running quite well : the time seems correct.

 

The problem is when the board is ON, the RTC seems stopped and OSCF (Oscillator Failure) flag is set to 1.

My question is : What are the reasons that causes oscillator stop ?

 

I don't use Watchdog, alarm, interrupt.

Writing a 0 to OSCEN_n causes OSCF=0 (good) but 6 seconds later OSCF=1 and the time is not running.

 

Best regards,

    yes, move the supercapacitor away, because the RTC is correct when system is power off. move it to avoid any negative impact.

     

    it is a good choose to replace a good crystal .

     

    best regard!

    At Cypress', they are aware of oscillations problems. The reasons are undershoot on some signals and antenna problem.

    They release other ships which avoid undershoot issues and they will release an application note to make a better design.

     

    Thanks for all.
