The DS1744WP-120+ is an integrated circuit (IC) component developed by Maxim Integrated. It is a real-time clock (RTC) module that offers accurate timekeeping functionality, making it ideal for applications that require precise time tracking.
The key features of the DS1744WP-120+ include:
1. Real-Time Clock: The DS1744WP-120+ provides accurate timekeeping capabilities, including hours, minutes, seconds, and both date and day of the week. It can accurately keep track of time, even during power loss or system shutdown.
2. Non-Volatile Memory: This IC component incorporates non-volatile static RAM (NVSRAM), which ensures that the time and other critical information are preserved even when the power supply is disconnected. It eliminates the need for external batteries or supercapacitors to maintain timekeeping functionality.
3. Battery Backup Switching: The DS1744WP-120+ integrates a battery backup switching circuitry that automatically switches between the main power supply and the backup battery when required. This ensures uninterrupted timekeeping and prevents data loss during power failures or system downtimes.
4. I2C Interface: This IC component utilizes the widely adopted I2C serial interface, enabling easy integration into various microcontroller-based systems. The I2C interface allows for simple communication and configuration of the DS1744WP-120+
