The MCP795W10T-I/ST is an integrated circuit (IC) component that offers real-time clock (RTC) and calendar functionality along with EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) storage. It is manufactured by Microchip Technology Inc.
Some of the key features of the MCP795W10T-I/ST include:
1. Real-Time Clock (RTC): The IC provides accurate timing and datekeeping functions, making it suitable for a wide range of applications that require precise timekeeping.
2. Calendar Functionality: It includes a calendar feature that enables tracking and maintenance of date and weekday information. It can handle leap years, leap months, and adjust for daylight saving time.
3. EEPROM Storage: The MCP795W10T-I/ST provides 8KB of EEPROM memory, which can be used to store data such as configuration settings, user preferences, or logged data. The EEPROM memory is non-volatile, allowing information to be retained even when the power is disconnected.
4. I2C Communication Interface: The IC utilizes the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) communication protocol, which enables easy interfacing with microcontroller units (MCUs) or other devices. This simplifies integration into various electronic systems.
5. Battery Backup: The MCP795W10T-I/ST has an integrated power-fail timestamp, which allows for backup power in case of a main power failure
