Design a Custom BoardAbout This Component
This CMOS real-time clock and calendar tracks time and date via a bidirectional I²C bus supporting up to 400 kbit/s. Optimized for low power draw, it includes a programmable clock output, configurable interrupt, voltage-low detector, and auto-incrementing register addressing. Housed in an 8-SO package, it is suited for battery-operated embedded controllers, portable instrumentation, and industrial systems requiring continuous, low-current timekeeping.
Package: SOIC-8 (3.9×4.9mm) · 8 pins
Why does this need a breakout?
The 1.27mm pitch and surface-mount pads on this eight-pin package are difficult to hand-solder reliably and incompatible with standard breadboards. A breakout board lets you prototype with through-hole connectors and larger pads, dramatically reducing assembly frustration while maintaining electrical integrity for sensitive analog and switching applications.
