GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DS1216 SmartWatch RAM and SmartWatch ROM sockets are 600-mil-wide DIP sockets with a built-in CMOS watch function, an NV RAM controller circuit, and an embedded lithium energy
source. The sockets provide an NV RAM solution for memory sized from 2K x 8 to 512K x 8 with
package sizes from 26 pins to 32 pins. When a socket is mated with a CMOS SRAM, it provides a
complete solution to problems associated with memory volatility and uses a common energy source to maintain time and date.
