The DS17485SN-5 is an integrated circuit (IC) component designed specifically for real-time clocks (RTCs). It offers accurate timekeeping and provides several key features that make it ideal for various applications. The following overview highlights the main features of the DS17485SN-5:
1. Real-Time Clock: The DS17485SN-5 is primarily used as an RTC, allowing precise timekeeping functionality. It can accurately track time in hours, minutes, and seconds, as well as the day, month, and year. Leap year compensation is also supported.
2. Non-Volatile Memory: This IC component features non-volatile memory that enables the storage of critical data, including clock information. Even during power loss or battery replacement, the stored information is retained, ensuring continuity and avoiding data loss.
3. Battery Backup: To uphold timekeeping accuracy during power interruptions, the DS17485SN-5 is equipped with a battery backup system. This feature allows the RTC to remain powered independently, ensuring that time and related data are preserved.
4. Programmable Alarm: Users can set up to two programmable alarms using the DS17485SN-5. The IC generates an interrupt signal at the specified alarm time, providing a customizable alarm feature for different applications.
5. I2C Interface: Communication with the DS17485SN-5 is facilitated through the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) bus interface
