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 other than automotive, use
M41T81S (contact the ST sales office for
automotive grade)
■ 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 switch-over 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
