REAL-TIME CLOCK AND
CALENDAR (RTCC)
CALENDAR (RTCC)
The key features of the Real-Time Clock and Calendar
(RTCC) module are:
• Time: hours, minutes and seconds
• Twenty-four hour format (military time)
• Calendar: weekday, date, month and year
• Alarm configurable
• Year range: 2000 to 2099
• Leap year correction
• BCD format for compact firmware
• Optimized for low-power operation
• User calibration with auto-adjust
• Calibration range:

• BCD format for compact firmware
• Optimized for low-power operation
• User calibration with auto-adjust
• Calibration range:
2.64 seconds error per month
• Requirements: external 32.768 kHz clock crystal
• Alarm pulse or seconds clock output on RTCC pin
• Alarm pulse or seconds clock output on RTCC pin
The RTCC module is intended for applications where
accurate time must be maintained for extended period
with minimum to no intervention from the CPU. The
module is optimized for low-power usage in order to
provide extended battery life while keeping track of
time.
The module is a 100-year clock and calendar with auto-
matic leap year detection. The range of the clock is
from 00:00:00 (midnight) on January 1, 2000 to
23:59:59 on December 31, 2099.
Hours are measured in 24-hour (military time) format.
The clock provides a granularity of one second with
half-second visibility to the user.
