GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PCF1172C
The PCF1172C is a single chip, 4.19 MHz CMOS clock
circuit indicating hours and minutes. It is designed to drive
a 3
1
⁄
2
-digit liquid crystal display (LCD) with AM and PM

Two external single-pole, single-throw switches will
accomplish all time setting functions. The circuit is
battery-operated via an internal 5 V voltage regulator or by
an external stabilized voltage supply.

OPERATIONAL INPUTS
Operational inputs S1, S2 and S3 have an internal pull-up
resistor to facilitate use of external single-pole,
single-throw switches. A specific debounce circuit is
integrated as protection against contact debounce and
parasitic voltages.
In the description below, an arrangement as shown in
Fig.5 is assumed and S1, S2 and S3 refer to the external
switches rather than the corresponding inputs.
Set hours, switch S1
Closure of S1 increments the hours according to the
correction mode selected by S6 (see Chapter “Input
options”).
Set minutes/reset seconds, switch S2
When S2 is closed, the minute setting is corrected
according to the correction mode determined by S6 (see
Chapter “Input options”).
The seconds counter is reset to zero each time S2 is
closed, and begins running each time S2 is opened.
Segment test/reset, switches S1 and S2
If S1 and S2 are closed simultaneously all LCD segments
are switched on. When the switches are released, the
clock starts at 1 : 00.

Time correction
±2
minutes, switch S3
.This switch operates in two ranges:
•
Displayed time
≥
58 minutes 00 seconds
•
Displayed time
≤
1 minute 59 seconds.
When switch S3 is pressed in these ranges, the minutes
and seconds are reset to zero. For displayed
time
≥
58 minutes 00 seconds, the hour is also
incremented by one.
INPUT OPTIONS
In the description below S4 and S6 refer to the external
switches shown in Fig.5 rather than to the corresponding
inputs.
In a real application, these inputs will normally be bonded
to the appropriate level to give the required function mode.
Internal/external regulation, switch S4
For internal regulation, S4 is closed, the internal voltage
regulator is active and the voltage supply for the LCD is
regulated to 5 V. For external regulation, S4 is open and
the circuit has to be supplied with an externally regulated
voltage.
PCF1172C
Single/continuous correction mode, switch S6
For single-set correction mode, S6 is connected to V
DD
.
Each closure of S1 or S2 advances the counter by one.
For continuous-set correction mode, S6 is connected to
V
SS
. Momentary closure of S1 or S2 causes single
increments as for single-set correction mode. If S1 or S2 is
kept closed for more than 1s, the counter is automatically
incremented by 1 for each full second that S1 or S2 is kept
closed.
TESTING
In normal operation the test inputs TR (pin 38) and TS
(pin 39) have to be connected to V
DD
(pin 23). A test
frequency (64 Hz) is available at BP (pin 5). The test mode
is activated by connecting TS to V
SS
(pin 20). All output
frequencies are then increased by a factor of 65536.
In this mode the maximum input frequency is 100 kHz
(external generator at OSC IN). By connecting TR to V
SS
all counters (seconds, minutes and hours) are stopped.
After connecting TR to V
DD
all counters start from an initial
state.
The switches/inputs described above also operate in the
test mode.
LIMITING VALUES
In accordance with the Absolute Maximum Rating System (IEC 134).

Note
1. Connecting the supply voltage with reverse polarity, will not harm the circuit, provided the current is limited to 10 mA
by the external resistor.
HANDLING
Inputs and outputs are protected against electrostatic discharges in normal handling. However, to be totally safe, it is
advisable to take handling precautions appropriate to handling MOS devices. Advice can be found in
“Data Handbook IC16, General, Handling MOS Devices”.
