Rust PCF8563 Real-Time Clock Driver

Maintenance Intention

A platform agnostic Rust driver for the NXP PCF8563 real-time clock, based on the embedded-hal traits.

Based on this RTC driver

This driver allows you to:

  • Read and set date and time. See: get_datetime and set_datetime
  • Set only the time (HH:MM:SS) for clock applications without the calendar function
  • Read and set the alarm minutes, hours, day and weekday
  • Enable the alarm components separately
  • Disable the alarm components separately or all at once
  • Set the timer and timer frequency
  • Set clock output frequency and enable/disable clock output
  • Enable and disable alarm interrupt and timer interrupt
  • Read and set various other control functions

TO DO:

  • test with other MCUs
  • add get_timer_frequency function
  • add get_timer_interrupt_mode function
  • add get_clkout_frequency function
  • add an nRF example

How this driver was won written

The device

The PCF8563 is a CMOS Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calendar optimized for low power consumption. A programmable clock output, interrupt output, and voltage-low detector are also provided. All addresses and data are transferred serially via a two-line bidirectional I2C-bus. Maximum bus speed is 400 kbit/s. The register address is incremented automatically after each written or read data byte.

Provides year, month, day, weekday, hours, minutes, and seconds based on a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal.

  • Century flag
  • Low backup current
  • Programmable clock output for peripheral devices (32.768 kHz, 1.024 kHz, 32 Hz, and 1 Hz)
  • Alarm and timer functions
  • Open-drain interrupt pin

Datasheet: PCF8563

Usage

To use this driver, import this crate and an embedded_hal implementation, then instantiate the device.
