DS1746 Maxim, DS1746 Datasheet - Page 7

• Manufacturer Part Number: DS1746
• Description: The DS1746 is a full-function, year-2000-compliant (Y2KC), real-time clock/calendar (RTC) and 128k x 8 nonvolatile static RAM
• Manufacturer: Maxim

DATA-RETENTION MODE
The 5V device is fully accessible and data can be written or read only when V

signal (RST) is driven active and will remain active until V

BATTERY LONGEVITY
The DS1746 has a lithium power source that is designed to provide energy for clock activity, and clock
and RAM data retention when the V
is sufficient to power the DS1746 continuously for the life of the equipment in which it is installed. For
specification purposes, the life expectancy is 10 years at 25°C with the internal clock oscillator running in
the absence of V
disconnected, guaranteeing full energy capacity. When V
lithium energy source is enabled for battery backup operation. Actual life expectancy of the DS1746 will
be much longer than 10 years since no lithium battery energy is consumed when V
BATTERY MONITOR
The DS1746 constantly monitors the battery voltage of the internal battery. The Battery Flag bit (bit 7) of
the day register is used to indicate the voltage level range of the battery. This bit is not writable and
should always be a one when read. If a zero is ever present, an exhausted lithium energy source is
indicated and both the contents of the RTC and RAM are questionable.
