Interface Families

Real-Time Clock/Calendar Products

I²C^TM RTCC:  8-pin devices that are low cost and feature rich, with memory and MAC address to help reduce system costs. With an input for backup power and a timestamp, the time and duration of any power failure can be logged.

SPI RTCC:   14-pin devices that start with the same features as the I²C RTCC plus a few more to help offload MCU tasks for lower power, reduced system costs and increased robustness. This includes programmable inputs for mechanical switches or sensors, a watchdog timer and an option for a boot clock output.
