M41T64:Low-power serial real-time clock (RTC) with alarm

The M41T6x is a low-power serial real-time clock (RTC) with a built-in 32.768 kHz oscillator. Eight registers are used for the clock/calendar function and are configured in binary-coded decimal (BCD) format. An additional eight registers provide status/control of alarm, 32 KHz output, calibration, and watchdog functions. Addresses and data are transferred serially via a two-line, bidirectional I2C interface. The built-in address register is incremented automatically after each WRITE or READ data byte.

Functions available to the user include a time-of-day clock/calendar, alarm interrupts (M41T62/65), 32 KHz output (M41T62/64), programmable square wave output (M41T62/64), and watchdog output (M41T65). The eight clock address locations contain the century, year, month, date, day, hour, minute, second and tenths/hundredths of a second in 24-hour BCD format. Corrections for 28-, 29- (leap year), 30- and 31-day months are made automatically.

The M41T6x is supplied in two very small packages: a tiny, 3 x 3 mm 16-pin QFN which requires a user-supplied 32 KHz crystal, and an ultra-small 1.5 x 3.2 mm LCC with embedded crystal - no external crystal is required.

Key Features

  • Serial real-time clock (RTC) with alarm functions
    • 400 kHz I2 C serial interface
    • Memory mapped registers for seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, year, and century
    • Tenths/hundredths of seconds register
  • 350 nA timekeeping current at 3 V
  • Timekeeping down to 1.0 V
  • 1.3 V to 4.4 V I2 C bus operating voltage
    • 4.4 V max VCC suitable for lithium-ion battery operation
  • Low operating current of 35 μA (at 400 kHz I2 C speed)

  • Programmable 1 Hz to 32 KHz square wave output (M41T62/64)
  • Programmable alarm with interrupt function (M41T62/65)
  • 32 KHz crystal oscillator integrates crystal load capacitors, works with high series resistance crystals
  • Oscillator stop detection monitors clock operation
  • Accurate programmable watchdog
    • 62.5 ms to 31 min timeout
  • Software clock calibration. Can adjust timekeeping to within ±2 parts per million (±5 seconds per month)
  • Automatic leap year compensation
  • –40 to +85 °C operation
  • Two package options:
    • Very small 3 x 3 mm, lead-free & halogen-free (ECOPACK2® ) 16-lead QFN
    • Ultra-small 1.5 x 3.2 mm, lead-free & halogen-free (ECOPACK2® ) 8-pin ceramic leadless chip carrier with embedded 32 KHz crystal - no external oscillator components required (M41T62)
