The Dobbertin Smart Watch was produced by Dobbertin Industrie Elektronik, a German company. This real time clock was relative wide spread in the 80ies and 90ies.
Contents
Technicals
The SmartWatch consists out of the RTC itself and an EPROM expansion with a lot of RSX commends. The RTC itself was inserted like an EPROM in any kind of ROM or EPROM card. Further it contains a little battery. At least one clock is still running in 2010!
Dallas Semiconductors SmartWatch
The 28pin SmartWatch (DS1216) is an adapter that can inserted in standard ROM sockets, a ROM chip can be mounted on the adapter, finally, inside of the adapter is a 16pin Phantom Time Chip (DS1315). Normal memory reads are forwarded to the piggyback ROM. After reading from a specific sequence of addresses, the ROM is disabled, and data is instead read from the Phantom Chip via 1bit databus. Writing to the Phantom Chip is done by reading from a specific sequence of addresses, too.

64bit packets
Accessing the RTC is done by following steps
- Read 1 or more bits (this resets the recognition pattern; best read at least 64 bits, in case the chip was in the 64-bit data read phase)
- Write the 8-byte (64bit) recognition pattern
- Read or Write the 8-byte (64bit) register data
The 8-byte (64bit) pattern/data is transferred serially, LSB first. The used bits on address and databus are:
A2 data direction (0=write, 1=read) A0 data written to RTC, when A2=0=write D0 data read from RTC, when A2=1=read, and only when pattern recognized
Recognition Pattern
The recognition pattern is: C5h, 3Ah, A3h, 5Ch, C5h, 3Ah, A3h, 5Ch.
Register 0..7
0 1/100 Seconds (BCD 00h..99h) 1 Seconds (BCD 00h..59h) (Bit7=Zero) 2 Minutes (BCD 00h..59h) (Bit7=Zero) 3 Hours (BCD 01h..12h or 00h..23h) (Bit5=PM when Bit7=12-hour mode) (Bit6=Zero) 4 Day of Week (01h..07h) (Bit4=Disable Reset input, Bit5=Disable OSC, stop clock) (Bit3,6,7=Zero) 5 Day (BCD 01h..31h) (Bit6-7=Zero) 6 Month (BCD 01h..12h) (Bit5-7=Zero) 7 Year (BCD 00h..99h)

Software
- The TimeROM+ Software provides RSX commands to use the RTC under BASIC.
- Support for CP/M Plus is provided. The TIMEROM+.COM program sets the software clock according to the RTC.
- The Smart Watch is also supported by FutureOS.
