R2061 Series

3-wire Serial Interface Real Time Clock (RTC) with Battery Backup Switch-over Function

Description

The R2061 is a CMOS real-time clock IC connected to the CPU by three signal lines, CE, SCLK, and SIO, and configured to perform serial transmission of time and calendar data to the CPU. Further, battery backup switchover circuit and a voltage detector. The periodic interrupt circuit is configured to generate interrupt signals with six selectable interrupts ranging from 0.5 seconds to 1 month. The 2 alarm interrupt circuits generate interrupt signals at preset times. As the oscillation circuit is driven under constant voltage, fluctuation of the oscillator frequency due to supply voltage is small, and the time keeping current is small (TYP. 0.4µA at 3V). The oscillation halt sensing circuit can be used to judge the validity of internal data in such events as power-on; The supply voltage monitoring circuit is configured to record a drop in supply voltage below two selectable supply voltage monitoring threshold settings. The oscillation adjustment circuit is intended to adjust time counts with high precision by correcting deviations in the oscillation frequency of the quartz crystal unit. Battery backup switchover function is the automatic switchover circuit between a main power supply and a backup battery of primary or secondary battery. Switchover is executed by monitoring the voltage of a main power supply, therefore the voltage of a backup battery voltage is not relevant. Since the package for these ICs is SSOP16 and QFN023023-16, high density mounting of ICs on boards is possible.
