IDT 1337, 1338 & 1339 SERIAL REAL-TIME CLOCKS FLYER
General Description
Integrated Device Technology Inc. introduces its first series of ultra low-power real-time clocks (RTC):
IDT1337, IDT1338, and IDT1339. All three devices offer fast and standard I2C interface, time and date
function, and are available in a variety of packages, making them cost-effective. These devices are suitable
for applications that require minimum board space. By offering high noise immunity, low current consumption,
12/24 hour mode of operation, auto correction for leap year and programmable square wave output —
they are ideal for a wide range of design applications. IDT RTC devices operate over an extended supply
voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V, a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, and consume less than 1 μA
current, thus enabling long battery life. The lowest time keeping voltage is 1.3V. The chart below provides
an overview of additional features and benefits of the IDT1337, IDT1338 and IDT1339 real-time clocks.
