The DS1386-8-120 is an IC (integrated circuit) component designed by Maxim Integrated. It is a real-time clock (RTC) chip that offers various features and functionalities.
Key features of the DS1386-8-120 include:
1. Real-time clock and calendar: The IC component includes a built-in clock with a highly accurate timekeeping capability. It can provide accurate time and date information, including seconds, minutes, hours, month, day, year, and day of the week.
2. Non-volatile RAM: The DS1386-8-120 includes 8 kilobits (8K) of non-volatile static random access memory (NVSRAM). This memory is used to store critical data, configurations, and settings, even when the power is turned off. It retains the stored information for an extended period without requiring a backup battery.
3. Integrated battery and power management: The chip includes a built-in battery and power management system. It automatically switches between the main power supply and the backup battery when necessary, ensuring that the clock and NVSRAM continue to operate seamlessly.
4. Power-loss detection and reset: The DS1386-8-120 has a power-loss detection circuitry that triggers an interrupt or reset signal when the main power supply is lost. This feature allows systems to react accordingly and ensure data integrity.
5. Integrated crystal oscillator: The chip incorporates a crystal oscillator that provides accurate clock signals for timekeeping
