General Description
The DS1343/DS1344 low-current real-time clocks (RTCs) are timekeeping devices that provide an extremely low standby current, permitting longer life from a backup supply source. The devices also support high-ESR crystals, broadening the pool of usable crystals for the devices. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The date at the end of the month is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year. The clock operates in either 24-hour or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator.
