Datasheet

1. General description
The PCF85263A is a CMOS
1
Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calendar optimized for low
power consumption and with automatic switching to battery on main power loss. The RTC
can also be configured as a stop-watch (elapsed time counter). Three time log registers
triggered from battery switch-over as well as input driven events. Featuring clock output
and two independent interrupt signals, two alarms, I
2
C interface and quartz crystal
calibration.
