STMicroelectronics M41T56 Serial RTC with NVRAM Datasheet
The M41T56 is a low-power, serial real-time clock (RTC) with 56 bytes of non-volatile RAM (NVRAM). It features a built-in 32,768 Hz oscillator controlled by an external crystal and uses a two-line, bidirectional serial bus for data transfer. The device includes automatic power-fail detection and switching to a battery supply to maintain timekeeping and data retention.
