Intersil ISL12029 Real Time Clock/Calendar with EEPROM Datasheet
The ISL12029 is a low power real time clock with a clock/calendar, power-fail indicator, clock output, and crystal compensation. It includes two periodic or polled alarms, intelligent battery backup switching, CPU Supervisor functions, and an integrated 512 x 8 bit EEPROM configured in 16 byte per page mode.
The device utilizes an external 32.768kHz crystal for the oscillator and tracks time with separate registers for hours, minutes, and seconds. It features calendar registers for date, month, year, and day of the week, accurate through 2099 with automatic leap year correction. The chip offers a 400kHz I2C interface and is available in 14 Ld SOIC and TSSOP packages.
