The DS1673S-3+ is a precision real-time clock (RTC) integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It offers accurate timekeeping functions and is designed for various applications such as data loggers, medical devices, industrial automation, and consumer electronics. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. Real-Time Clock: The DS1673S-3+ provides highly accurate timekeeping with a resolution of seconds, minutes, hours, dates, months, and years. It operates on a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal oscillator, ensuring precise time measurement.
2. Non-volatile Memory: This IC component features non-volatile EEPROM memory, which enables storage of time and date information, even during power loss or system shutdown. This data remains intact for several years.
3. Serial Interface: The DS1673S-3+ supports a simple two-wire I2C interface, making it easy to integrate into existing systems. This interface allows for easy communication with the IC, enabling real-time clock configuration and data retrieval.
4. Integrated Temperature Sensor: Another notable feature of the DS1673S-3+ is its built-in temperature sensor. It accurately measures the temperature in the range of -40°C to +85°C. This temperature reading can be helpful to compensate for clock drift caused by temperature variations.
5. Alarm Functionality: The IC component supports alarm functionality with interrupt output
