The DS1386-8-120+ is an IC component that offers reliable real-time clock functionality along with non-volatile timestamping capabilities. It is manufactured by Maxim Integrated, a leading provider of analog and mixed-signal semiconductors.
Key Features:
1. Real-Time Clock (RTC) Functionality: The DS1386-8-120+ provides a clock/calendar function accurate to seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years. It supports leap year compensation, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require precise timekeeping.
2. Battery Backup: This IC component features an internal lithium energy source, ensuring continuous operation even during power disruptions. The battery backup ensures that the clock and calendar data are retained regardless of power supply status, making it ideal for devices that require accurate timekeeping.
3. Non-Volatile Timestamp: The DS1386-8-120+ possesses a unique feature of non-volatile timestamping. It can store individual event timestamps with a resolution of one second, allowing for reliable event tracking and sequencing. This functionality is often used in applications such as data logging, time-stamping transactions, and event synchronization.
4. Integrated Crystal Oscillator: It incorporates an integrated 32.768 kHz quartz crystal oscillator, eliminating the need for external crystal components. This simplifies the design and reduces the component count, making it cost-effective for space-constrained applications
