The MCP795B10T-I/SL is an integrated circuit (IC) component, specifically a real-time clock (RTC) with a built-in temperature sensor. It is manufactured by Microchip Technology, a leading semiconductor company. This IC offers highly accurate timekeeping capabilities, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where precise timing is required.
Key features of the MCP795B10T-I/SL include:
1. Real-Time Clock: The IC provides accurate timekeeping by counting seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, and years. It operates in 24-hour format, ensuring precise timing information.
2. Temperature Sensor: Along with the RTC functionality, this component incorporates a temperature sensor. It allows monitoring and reporting of temperature variations, which is particularly useful in applications where temperature control or monitoring is crucial.
3. Integrated EEPROM: The MCP795B10T-I/SL has a small Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) integrated within the chip. This allows the storage of critical data, such as user preferences, configuration settings, or calibration data, even when the power is disconnected.
4. Battery Backup: The IC includes a low-power oscillator that can run on a backup battery. This ensures that the clock continues to keep time accurately, even during power interruptions or when the main power source is disconnected
