RP5C01: Real Time Clock with Internal RAM
From the Datasheet:
"The RP/RF5C01A are real-time clocks for microcomputers that can be connected directly to buses of microcom- puters with such CPUs as the 8085A or Z80 and allow setting or reading of the clock with the same procedures as for the Read/Write operation for memory.
These products have various features such as clock and calendar counters, alarm functions, and 26 ́ 4bits RAM which can be backed up by batteries. They can then be used as non-volatile RAM."
- Connected directly to CPU
- 4bit bidirectional data bus : D0 - D3
- 4bit address input : A0 - A3
- Built-in clock counter (hour, minute, second) and calendar counter (leap year, year, month, day, day-of-the-week)
- Supports both 12-hour AM/PM clock and 24-hour clock
- All clock data expressed in BCD codes
- ±30 second adjustment function
- Built-in 26 X 4bits RAM
- Backed up by batteries (minimum:2.2V)
- Outputs alarm signals or timing pulse of 16Hz or 1Hz.
- Packages : 18pin DIP (RP5C01A)
