General Description
The MAX6916 provides all the features of a real-time
clock (RTC) plus a microprocessor supervisory circuit,
NV RAM controller, and backup-battery monitor func-
tion. In addition, 96 x 8 bits of static RAM are available
for scratchpad storage. The MAX6916 communicates
with a microprocessor through an SPI™-bus-compati-
ble 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 microprocessor supervisory circuit features an
open-drain, active-low reset available in three different
reset thresholds. 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 MAX6916 has a crystal-fail-detect circuit and a
data-valid bit. The MAX6916 is available in a 20-pin
QSOP package and is guaranteed to operate over the
-40°C to +85°C extended 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.
