32 kHz watch circuit with programmable adaptive motor pulse

7.6 Programming procedure

For a watch it is essential that the timing calibration can be made after the watch is fully

assembled. In this situation, the supply pads are often the only terminals which are still

accessible.

Writing to the OTP cells and performing the related functional checks is achieved in the

PCA2000 and PCA2001 by modulating the supply voltage. The necessary control circuit

consists basically of a voltage level detector, an instruction counter which determines the

function to be performed, and an 8-bit shift register which allows writing to the OTP cells of

an 8-bit word in one step and acts as a data pointer for checking the OTP content.

There are six different instruction states (state 3 and state 5 are handled as state 4):

The first small pulse defines the start time, the following pulses perform three different

(see Figure 7, Figure 8, Figure 11 and Figure 12):

The programming procedure requires a stable oscillator. This means that a waiting time,

determined by the start-up time of the oscillator is necessary after power-up of the circuit.

is cleared.

In any case, the instruction states are terminated automatically 2 seconds after the last

supply modulation pulse.

7.7 Programming the memory cells

Applying the two-stage programming pulse (see Figure 7) transfers the stored data in the

shift register to the OTP cells.

Perform the following to program a memory word:
