The Microchip MCP795W10-I/ST is a highly integrated Real-Time Clock/Calendar (RTCC) optimized for timekeeping in a wide range of applications. This compact, low-power device is designed to maintain accurate time and date information, measured in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. The MCP795W10-I/ST is particularly suitable for applications requiring precise timekeeping and time-stamping such as data loggers, smart meters, and industrial control systems.

Key Features:

• Battery-Backed Operation: Includes a battery backup input pin, allowing the device to maintain timekeeping during power loss scenarios.
• Digital Trimming: Provides digital trimming to compensate for crystal frequency drift, enhancing timekeeping accuracy.
• Multiple Alarms: Features multiple alarms that can be set to trigger on a variety of time scales, from seconds to months.
• Serial Interface: Equipped with an SPI/I2C™ serial interface for easy integration with microcontrollers and other digital systems.
• Temperature Range: Operates within an industrial temperature range, making it suitable for harsh environments.
• EERAM: Integrated EEPROM-backed SRAM (EERAM) provides reliable data storage without additional external memory components.
• Unique ID: Comes with a factory-programmed 64-bit unique ID, useful for network node identification or inventory tracking.

Applications:

• Industrial Control Systems
• Data Loggers
• Smart Metering
• Medical Devices
• Security Systems

The MCP795W10-I/ST is available in a TSSOP package, ensuring a minimal footprint on the PCB while providing robust features for advanced timekeeping. The integration of EEPROM and a unique ID in the same package significantly reduces the complexity and cost of the system design.

Microchip Technology's commitment to quality and long-term availability makes the MCP795W10-I/ST a reliable choice for designers looking to incorporate accurate timekeeping functions into their projects, with the added assurance of support from a leading semiconductor manufacturer.
