Real time clocks (RTC´s) for efficient system design

Combining a 32.768kHz crystal with a CMOS based oscillator and RTC IC inside a miniature SMD ceramic package.

An RTC saves power, provides superior accuracy, reduces component cost and testing, and simplifies your system design by eliminating the need to design oscillator circuits and adjust clock accuracy.

The compact package sizes and easy integration allow you to achieve a far lower power consumption than circuits implemented with microcontrollers, allowing for extended battery life and the ability to use board space more efficiently.

Real-time clocks are ideal for hand-held and stand-alone applications such as POS terminals, metering, data logging and security alarms where low power consumption is critical.

Additional RTC features such as timestamp, power switch, event counters and trickle charge make devices ideal for medical applications like drug dispensing, blood pressure meters and defibrillators.
