DS1260-50

The DS1260-50 is an integrated circuit (IC) component that offers a range of key features. Primarily, it is a nonvolatile timekeeping RAM (random access memory) designed for low-power applications. Here is an overview of its main features: 1. Nonvolatile Storage: The DS1260-50 provides nonvolatile storage for critical timekeeping information, ensuring data integrity even when power is lost. It utilizes a lithium energy source for backup power, enabling it to retain information for an extended period. 2. Timekeeping Functionality: This IC component includes a real-time clock (RTC) that accurately tracks time, date, and day of the week. It offers dedicated registers to store this information, allowing for precise timekeeping even during power interruptions. 3. Low Power Consumption: One of the key advantages of the DS1260-50 is its low power consumption. It operates in a power-saving mode during normal operation, resulting in minimal power drain. It also employs power-fail circuitry to guarantee reliable operation under varying power conditions. 4. Battery-Backed SRAM: In addition to timekeeping, the DS1260-50 integrates static RAM (SRAM) with battery backup. This feature allows the IC to store general-purpose data or variables that are essential for the system even when the main power supply fails
