General Description
The MAX6917 provides all the features of a real-time
clock (RTC) plus a microprocessor (µP) supervisory cir-
cuit, NV RAM controller, and backup-battery monitor
function. In addition, 96 x 8 bits of static RAM are avail-
able for scratchpad storage. The MAX6917 communi-
cates with a µP through an I
2
C-bus-compatible serial
interface.
The real-time clock/calendar provides seconds, min-
utes, hours, day, date, month, and year information.
The end of the month date is automatically adjusted for
months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections
for leap years through 2099. The clock operates in
either 24hr or 12hr format with an AM/PM indicator. A
time/date-programmable alarm function is provided
with an open-drain, active-low alarm output.
The µP supervisory circuit features an open-drain,
active-low reset available in three different reset thresh-
olds. A manual reset input and a watchdog function are
included as well.
The NV RAM controller provides power for external SRAM
from a backup battery plus chip-enable gating. The back-
up battery also provides data retention of the on-board 96
x 8 bits of RAM. An open-drain, active-low, battery-on sig-
nal alerts the system when operating from a battery.
The battery-test circuitry periodically tests the backup
battery for a low-battery condition. An optional external
resistor network selects different battery thresholds. A
freshness seal prevents battery drain until the first V
CC
power-up.
The MAX6917 has a crystal-fail-detect circuit and a
data-valid bit. The MAX6917 is available in a 20-pin
QSOP package and is guaranteed to operate over the
extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
