MCP79410-I/MS

The MCP79410 series of low-power Real-Time Clocks (RTC) uses digital timing compensation for an accurate clock/calendar, a programmable output control for versatility, a power sense circuit that automatically switches to the backup supply, and nonvolatile memory for data storage. Using a low-cost 32.768 kHz crystal, it tracks time using several internal registers. For communication, the MCP79410 uses the I2C bus. The clock/calendar automatically adjusts for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap years. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator and settable alarm(s) to the second, minute, hour, day of the week, date or month. Using the programmable CLKOUT, frequencies of 32.768, 8.192 and 4.096 kHz and 1 Hz can be generated from the external crystal. Along with the on-board Serial EEPROM and batterybacked SRAM memory, a 64-bit protected space is available for a unique ID or MAC address to be programmed at the factory or by the end user. The device is fully accessible through the serial interface while VCC is between 1.8V and 5.5V, but can operate down to 1.3V for timekeeping and SRAM retention only. The RTC series of devices are available in the standard 8-lead SOIC, TSSOP, MSOP and 2x3 TDFN packages.
