The DS1744-70IND is an integrated circuit (IC) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a highly reliable, non-volatile timekeeping RAM with a battery backup and real-time clock (RTC) functionality.
One of the key features of the DS1744-70IND is its non-volatile memory, which is capable of retaining data even when the power supply is disconnected or interrupted. This ensures that crucial information, such as real-time clock data, alarm settings, and other time-related data, is not lost during power outages.
The DS1744-70IND is designed to work with a lithium battery as a backup power source. It automatically switches to battery power when the main power supply fails, ensuring continuous operation and data retention. This makes it extremely useful in applications where accurate timekeeping is essential, such as in industrial control systems, instrumentation, automotive systems, and medical devices.
The real-time clock functionality of the DS1744-70IND provides highly accurate timekeeping with programmable alarm features. It supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats and can maintain time accuracy within a few seconds per month. The integrated alarm can be programmed to trigger certain actions or events at specified times, allowing for time-driven functions.
The DS1744-70IND also offers a non-volatile counter register, which can be used to keep track of events or elapsed time
