Key Features

  • 4-bit parallel bus interface for direct connection to legacy microcontrollers and MPU data buses
  • 24-pin SSOP package balances compact footprint with sufficient I/O for parallel RTC access
  • Integrated calendar function supporting year, month, day, hour, minute, and second registers
  • On-chip oscillator circuit designed for 32.768 kHz crystal reference
  • Battery backup support enables timekeeping during main power interruption

Applications

RTC-7301SF (B) is used in industrial control panels, point-of-sale terminals, and embedded computing boards that require accurate real-time clock data via a 4-bit parallel bus. Its 24-pin SSOP package and battery backup capability make it suitable for applications where compact size, power outage resilience, and compatibility with parallel-bus microprocessors from -40°C to +85°C are all required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 4-bit parallel interface of RTC-7301SF (B) integrate with an 8-bit microprocessor data bus?

RTC-7301SF (B) uses a 4-bit parallel data bus, which can be connected to the lower nibble of an 8-bit MPU data bus using standard address decoding. This requires 4 data lines, plus chip-select, read, and write control signals, making it straightforward to interface with most 8-bit microcontrollers operating at 3.3 V or 5 V logic levels.

What crystal frequency does RTC-7301SF (B) require, and how does it affect oscillator stability?

RTC-7301SF (B) is designed for a 32.768 kHz crystal reference, the industry-standard RTC frequency that divides cleanly to a 1 Hz timekeeping signal. Choosing a crystal with ±20 ppm or better frequency accuracy ensures the RTC accumulates less than 1 minute of drift per month over the -40°C to +85°C operating range.

In an industrial control panel losing mains power, how long can RTC-7301SF (B) maintain accurate time on battery backup?

RTC-7301SF (B) supports battery backup operation from a coin cell such as CR2032 (3 V, approximately 225 mAh). In backup mode the RTC draws microamp-level standby current, enabling timekeeping for several years on a single cell. This ensures the panel resumes with the correct timestamp after a power interruption without requiring manual clock resynchronization.
