The DS1672U-33+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a real-time clock (RTC) module with built-in non-volatile timekeeping that is accurate and reliable. This component offers various key features that make it suitable for applications requiring accurate timekeeping.
One of the notable features of the DS1672U-33+ is its timekeeping functionality. It can track hours, minutes, seconds, days, months, and years accurately while considering leap years. This RTC feature ensures precise timing information that can be used in a wide range of applications.
The IC component utilizes a 32kHz crystal oscillator, which provides the necessary clock reference for the accurate timekeeping function. This crystal-controlled oscillator ensures long-term stability and low power consumption.
Another key feature of the DS1672U-33+ is the built-in non-volatile memory (NVRAM). This memory module allows storage of time and date information even during power loss or device shutdown. This ensures that the timekeeping data is preserved and available for access upon subsequent device power up.
Additionally, the DS1672U-33+ offers a versatile bus interface. It supports both the standard serial peripheral interface (SPI) and the widely used inter-integrated circuit (I2C) communication protocols. This flexibility enables easy integration with various microcontrollers and systems.
The IC component incorporates programmable alarms to provide alert functionality
