DS12C887A+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

DS12C887A+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power-up sequence for the DS12C887A+?
  The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VBAT. This ensures that the internal voltage regulators are powered up correctly.
• How do I ensure that the DS12C887A+ is in a low-power state during shutdown?
  To ensure low power consumption during shutdown, make sure that the SHDN pin is pulled low, and the VBAT pin is disconnected from the battery. This will put the device in a low-power shutdown mode.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage on the VBAT pin?
  The maximum allowed voltage on the VBAT pin is 3.6V. Exceeding this voltage may damage the device.
• How do I configure the DS12C887A+ for a specific oscillator frequency?
  The DS12C887A+ has an internal oscillator that can be configured using the OSCEN and OSCFREQ pins. Consult the datasheet for specific configuration options and frequency settings.
• What is the purpose of the RST pin, and how do I use it?
  The RST pin is an active-low reset input that can be used to reset the device. When the RST pin is pulled low, the device will reset and restart. This pin can be connected to a push-button or a reset generator IC.
