Description
The M41T00CAP is a low-power serial real-time
clock (RTC) with integral battery and crystal in
ST’s 24-pin CAPHAT™ package. It includes a
crystal controlled, 32.768 kHz oscillator and has
a built-in power sense circuit which detects power
failures and automatically switches to the backup
battery when a power failure occurs.
Eight registers comprise the clock/calendar
function and are configured in binary-coded
decimal (BCD) format. Addresses and data are
transferred serially via an industry standard, two
line, 400 kHz, bidirectional I
2
C interface. The
built-in address register is incremented
automatically after each WRITE or READ data
byte. The internal lithium coin cell contains ample
energy to sustain timekeeping operation for 10
years in the absence of system power. The eight
clock address locations contain the century, year,
month, date, day, hour, minute, and second in
24-hour BCD format. Corrections for the number
of days in a month, including leap year, are made
automatically (leap year valid up to year 2100).
