The MCP795W11 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 low timekeeping current of 1.2 ¬µA when powered from VCC and 1.0 ¬µA from VBAT. The device includes a real-time clock that tracks time with high precision, offering features such as leap year compensation, dual programmable alarms, and a clock output function with selectable frequencies. This part includes 1 Kbit of EEPROM with a unique factory-programmed EUI-48,Ñ¢ MAC address, as well as 64 bytes of battery-backed SRAM. The EEPROM supports software write protection and has a high endurance of 1 million erase/write cycles. Enhanced features 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 MCP795W11 is suitable for applications requiring accurate timekeeping and low power consumption, making it ideal for smart energy, communications, and home appliance projects. Its industrial temperature range of -40¬8C to +85¬8C further enhances its applicability in various environments.
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.
