PCA2131 CMOS Real-Time Clock

NXP's nano-powered, highly accurate RTC includes an integrated quartz crystal

Image of NXP's PCA2131 RTCNXP's PCA2131 is a CMOS real-time clock (RTC) and calendar with an integrated temperature-compensated crystal oscillator and a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal, optimized for very high accuracy and ultra-low power consumption. The PCA2131 has a selectable I2C-bus or SPI-bus, a backup battery switch-over circuit, a programmable watchdog function, a four timestamps function, and many other features.

Features
  • Current consumption: 106 nA at 3.3 V for PCA2131
  • Time accuracy: ±3 ppm at -40°C to +85°C (typical)
  • Selectable I2C-bus or SPI-bus interfaces for full flexibility when selecting the associated MCU/MPU
  • Backup battery input and switch-over circuit allows the RTC to keep track of the time, even when the main power supply is removed
  • Calendar capabilities to keep track of the time from years down to 1/100 seconds
  • Up to four time stamp registers which can be associated with the timestamp input to register tampering events
  • Up to two interrupt outputs to enable/disable systems to reduce the overall current consumption
  • PCF2131: consumer-grade with operating temperatures of -40°C up to +85°C
Applications
  • Electronic metering for electricity, water, and gas
  • Precision timekeeping
  • Access to accurate time of the day
  • GPS equipment to reduce time to first fix
  • Applications that require an accurate process timing
  • Products with long automated unattended operation time
