The DS1312E+ is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Maxim Integrated. It is a real-time clock (RTC) module designed for applications that require accurate timekeeping and timestamping. The IC incorporates several key features that make it suitable for a wide range of electronic devices and systems.
One of the primary functions of the DS1312E+ is to provide accurate timekeeping capabilities. It can operate in either a 12-hour or 24-hour mode, and it supports leap year compensation. The IC captures time data in hours, minutes, and seconds, while also offering the ability to measure and store data such as the day of the week, day of the month, month, and year.
The DS1312E+ also comes equipped with an integrated power supply monitor. This feature allows the IC to detect power loss or fluctuations and subsequently generate a reset signal, ensuring that the module remains synchronized with real-time data. When power is restored, this component automatically resumes timekeeping based on the accurate time data stored within the IC.
Another noteworthy feature of the DS1312E+ is its non-volatile memory. This memory enables the storage of timekeeping information, even when power is removed from the device. The IC is equipped with a backup battery input, ensuring that the time data remains intact even during power disruptions or battery replacements.
Additionally, the DS1312E+ offers various alarm functionalities
