DS1553-100+

The DS1553-100+ is a 64KB, non-volatile, timekeeping RAM in 28 pin EDIP package. This is a full-function, year 2000 compliant (Y2KC) real time clock/calendar (RTC) with an RTC alarm, watchdog timer, power-on reset, battery monitor and 8k x 8 non-volatile static RAM. The RTC registers contain century, year, month, date, day, hours, minutes and seconds data in 24-hour BCD format. Corrections for day of month and leap year are made automatically. It is double-buffered into an internal and external set. User has direct access to external set, clock/calendar updates to external set of registers can be disabled and enabled to allow user to access static data. Assuming the internal oscillator is turned on, the internal set of registers is continuously updated. This occurs regardless of external registers settings to guarantee that accurate RTC information is always maintained.
