MCP794XX I2C™ RTCC Brochure

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical details about the I2C™ Real-Time Clock/Calendar (RTCC) by Microchip Technology Incorporated. It highlights the features, pin functions, design requirements, and development tools associated with the MCP7941X series.
Pin Functions: The RTCC has an 8-pin configuration with specific functions: X1 (Xtal/Input), X2 (Xtal/Output), VBAT (Battery Backup), VSS (Ground), SDA (Serial Data I/O), SCL (Serial Clock), MFP (Interrupt*/Clock Output), and VCC (Supply Voltage).
Key Features: The MCP7941X offers a Real-Time Clock/Calendar with alarm capabilities, digital trimming for accuracy, battery-backed SRAM, EEPROM, and a unique ID for network interfaces. It operates at low power with a battery switchover feature and industry-standard pinout.
Design Requirements: The RTCC addresses issues such as continuous clock operation during power failures, accurate timekeeping over temperature variations, and storage of calibration parameters in non-volatile memory. It also supports network interfaces with a unique MAC address and maximizes battery life by minimizing power draw.
Development Environment: The RTCC can be evaluated using various development tools such as the MCP7941X PICtail Plus Daughter Board, Explorer 16 Development Board, PICDEM PIC18 Explorer Board, XLP 16-bit Development Board, and PICkit Serial Analyzer.
Conclusion: The document emphasizes the RTCC's suitability for applications requiring accurate timekeeping, low power consumption, and efficient memory usage, making it ideal for systems with size and cost constraints.
