Description
The M41T81 is a low-power serial RTC with a built-in 32.768 kHz oscillator (external crystal controlled).
Features
• For all new designs use M41T81S
• Counters for tenths/hundredths of seconds,
seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month,
year, and century
• 32 KHz crystal oscillator integrating load
capacitance (12.5 pF) providing exceptional
oscillator stability and high crystal series
resistance operation
• Serial interface supports I2C bus (400 kHz
protocol)
• Ultra-low battery supply current of 0.6 ΜA
(typ at 3 V)
• 2.0 to 5.5 V clock operating voltage
• Automatic switchover and deselect circuitry (for
3 V application select M41T81S datasheet)
• Power-down time stamp (HT bit) allowing
determination of time elapsed in battery
backup
• Programmable alarm and interrupt function
(valid even during battery backup mode)
• Accurate programmable watchdog timer (from
62.5 ms to 128 s)
• Software clock calibration to compensate
crystal deviation due to temperature
• Operating temperature of –40 to 85 °C
• ECOPACK® package available
