MCP7940MT-I/MS

The MCP7940X Real-Time Clock/Calendar (RTCC) tracks time using internal counters for hours, minutes, seconds, days, months, years, and day of week. Alarms can be configured on all counters up to and including months. For usage and configuration, the MCP7940X supports I²C communications up to 400 kHz.

The open-drain, multi-functional output can be configured to assert on an alarm match, to output a selectable frequency square wave or as a general purpose output.

The MCP7940X is designed to operate using a 32.768 kHz tuning fork crystal with external crystal load capacitors. On-chip digital trimming can be used to adjust for frequency variance caused by crystal tolerance and temperature.

SRAM and timekeeping circuitry are powered from the back-up supply when main power is lost, allowing the device to maintain accurate time and the SRAM contents. The times when the device switches over to the back-up supply and when primary power returns are both logged by the power-fail time-stamp.

The MCP7940X features 64 bits of EEPROM which is only writable after an unlock sequence, making it ideal for storing a unique ID or other critical information. The MCP79401 and MCP79402 are pre-programmed with EUI-48 and EUI-64 addresses, respectively. Custom programming is also available.
