Intersil ISL1209 Real Time Clock/Calendar Datasheet
The ISL1209 is a low‑power real‑time clock/calendar IC that provides time‑keeping, alarm, event detection, and a 2‑byte battery‑backed SRAM. It operates from a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply and can switch to a backup source (battery or super‑capacitor) when main power is lost.
Key features include 15 selectable frequency outputs, a programmable interrupt/frequency pin, tamper/event detection with optional glitch filtering, and an I²C interface capable of 400 kHz data transfers. The device is supplied in a 10‑lead MSOP package and is RoHS‑compliant.
