MCP79410-I/SN

The MCP79410-I/SN is a low-power real-time clock/calendar (RTCC) with battery backup, manufactured by Microchip. It features I²C communication, 64 bytes of SRAM, and a built-in timestamping function for power events. Key highlights include:
- Battery Backup: Operates down to 1.3V, ensuring timekeeping during power loss.
- I²C Interface: Supports standard (100kHz) and fast (400kHz) modes.
- Timekeeping: Tracks seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year (leap-year compensated).
- Alarms: Two configurable alarms with interrupt outputs.
- Power Monitoring: Timestamps power failures and restorations.
- SRAM: 64 bytes of nonvolatile memory for user data.
Available in an 8-pin SOIC package, it’s ideal for embedded systems requiring precise timekeeping, such as IoT devices, data loggers, and industrial controls. Its low power consumption (<400nA in backup) makes it suitable for battery-powered applications.
