The PCA2003 is a CMOS integrated circuit for battery operated wrist watches with a32 kHz quartz crystal as timing element and a bipolar 1 Hz stepping motor. The quartzcrystal oscillator and the frequency divider are optimized for minimum powerconsumption. A timing accuracy of 1 ppm is achieved with a programmable, digitalfrequency adjustment.
To obtain the minimum overall power consumption for the watch, an automatic motorpulse adaptation function is provided. The circuit supplies only the minimum drive current,which is necessary to ensure a correct motor step. Changing the drive current of themotor is achieved by chopping the motor pulse with a variable duty cycle. The pulseperiod and the range of the variable duty cycle can be programmed to suit different typesof motors. The automatic pulse adaptation scheme is based on a safe dynamic detectionof successful motor steps.
A pad RESET is provided (used for stopping the motor) for accurate time setting and foraccelerated testing of the watch.
