Interfacing PIC18F4550 with DS1307 RTC
Real time clock using PIC16F877A microcontroller and DS1307 serial RTC
Now let's see how to interface DS1307 with PIC18F4550 microcontroller with full adjustment of time and date.
The microcontroller PIC18F4550 has one I2C module (SDA: RB0, SCL: RB1) which we are going to use for interfacing with DS1307 RTC.
The DS1307 is an 8-pin integrated circuit uses I2C communication protocol to communicate with master device which is in our case the PIC18F4550 microcontroller. This small chip can count seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month and year with leap-year up to year 2100.
The DS1307 receives and transfers data (clock data and calendar data) as BCD format, so after receiving data we have to convert these data into decimal data, and before writing data to the DS1307 we have to convert this data from decimal to BCD format. For example we have the BCD number 33, converting this number into decimal gives 21.
The following image shows the DS1307 pin configurations:
The DS1307 uses an external 32.768KHz crystal and there is no need to add any resistors or capacitors with it.
More informations are in the DS1307 RTC datasheet.
