Real Time Clock Serial 8Byte 8-Pin SO T/R

The PCF8593 is a CMOS1 clock and calendar circuit, optimized for low power consumption. Addresses and data are transferred serially via the two-line bidirectional I²C-bus. The built-in word address register is incremented automatically after each written or read data byte. The built-in 32.768 kHz oscillator circuit and the first 8 bytes of the RAM are used for the clock, calendar, and counter functions. The next 8 bytes can be programmed as alarm registers or used as free RAM space.

• I²C-bus interface operating supply voltage: 2.5 V to 6.0 V
• Clock operating supply voltage 1.0 V to 6.0 V at 0 ? to +70 ?
• 8 bytes scratchpad RAM (when alarm not used)
• Data retention voltage: 1.0 V to 6.0 V
• External RESET input resets I²C interface only
• Operating current (at f_SCL = 0 Hz, 32 kHz time base, V_DD = 2.0 V): typical 1 µA
• Clock function with four year calendar
• Universal timer with alarm and overflow indication
• 24 hour or 12 hour format
• 32.768 kHz or 50 Hz time base
• Serial input and output bus (I²C-bus)
• Automatic word address incrementing
• Programmable alarm, timer, and interrupt function
• Space-saving SO8 package available
• Slave addresses: A3h for reading, A2h for writing
