General Description
The MAX6902 SPI-compatible real-time clock con-
tains a real-time clock/calendar and 31 x 8 bits of static
random-access memory (SRAM). The real-time
clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day,
date, month, year, and century information. A time/date
programmable polled ALARM is included in the
MAX6902. The end-of-the-month date is automatically
adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including
corrections for leap year up to the year 2100. The clock
operates in either the 24hr or 12hr format with an
AM/PM indicator. The MAX6902 operates with a supply
voltage of +2V to +5.5V, is available in the ultra-small
8-pin TDFN package, and works over the -40°C to
+85°C industrial temperature range.
