The MCP795WXX is a battery-backed SPI real-time clock/calendar (RTCC) designed for low-power applications. It operates within a voltage range of 1.8V to 3.6V and features a backup voltage range of 1.3V to 3.6V. The device maintains accurate timekeeping with features such as leap year compensation, dual programmable alarms, and a clock output function with selectable frequencies. It supports SPI communication at clock rates up to 5 MHz and includes on-chip digital trimming for frequency adjustments with a resolution of ±1 ppm. The MCP795WXX incorporates a power-fail timestamp to log transitions between main power and battery backup, ensuring data integrity during power interruptions. It also features 64 bytes of battery-backed SRAM and 1 Kbit or 2 Kbit EEPROM with software write protection and a robust unlock sequence for critical data storage. Enhanced functionalities include a programmable watchdog timer and dual configurable event detect modules for pulse counting and switch debouncing, which can help improve system robustness by offloading tasks from the microcontroller. The device is available in 14-lead SOIC and TSSOP packages, making it suitable for various applications in smart energy, communications, and home appliances.
The MCP795W11 SPI RTCC is highly integrated with memory and advanced features normally found in higher priced devices. By starting with a basic real-time clock, digital trimming was added for higher accuracy, a battery switchover for backup power, a timestamp to log power failures and three types of memory, which includes SRAM, EEPROM and a unique ID in a locked section of EEPROM that is preprogrammed with a 48-bit MAC Address that can also be ordered blank for the end user to program. By adding a watchdog timer and two programmable event detect inputs, lower power and more system robustness can be achieved by off-loading MCU functions and allowing it to sleep for longer periods of time.
