DS1673S-5

The DS1673S-5 is an Integrated Circuit (IC) component designed and manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a highly versatile device that offers several key features, making it suitable for various applications. Here is an overview of the DS1673S-5 and its main features: 1. Real-Time Clock (RTC) Functionality: The DS1673S-5 incorporates a real-time clock that provides accurate timekeeping. It supports hours, minutes, and seconds, along with calendar date tracking, which includes the day, month, and year. The RTC function runs on an external 32.768kHz crystal oscillator for precise timing. 2. Battery Backup Capability: One of the key features of the DS1673S-5 is its ability to operate using backup power during main power loss. It includes an integrated battery input that allows a backup power source to sustain the clock and memory functions, ensuring uninterrupted timekeeping and data retention. 3. Non-Volatile Memory: The DS1673S-5 is equipped with non-volatile memory, providing storage for critical data, such as timestamp logs or configuration settings. This memory is resistant to power loss or resets, ensuring that the data remains intact even during unexpected events. 4. I2C Interface: The DS1673S-5 communicates with external devices using the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol
