The DS1685Q-5/T&R is an integrated circuit (IC) component that offers a range of versatile features for various electronic applications. It is a memory and timekeeping device manufactured by Maxim Integrated.
One of the key features of the DS1685Q-5/T&R is its built-in timekeeping functionality. The device incorporates a real-time clock (RTC) that accurately keeps track of time, including seconds, minutes, hours, day, month, and year. It also provides a leap year compensation feature, which ensures precise timekeeping even during leap years. The RTC operates on a low-power oscillator, resulting in low power consumption for extended battery life.
The DS1685Q-5/T&R also includes nonvolatile static RAM (NV SRAM), which allows for the storage of important data even when power is lost. It offers a capacity of 4 kilobits (Kb), providing sufficient memory for various applications. The NV SRAM features an unlimited write endurance, which means data can be written to it an infinite number of times without degradation.
To facilitate easy interfacing with external devices, the DS1685Q-5/T&R supports a serial interface. This interface enables seamless communication with microcontrollers or other digital systems. The IC component also features a battery input pin, which allows for the use of an external battery to power the device during power loss or when the main power source is disconnected
