RTC with SPI and integrated backup management
The Maxim Integrated DS1305EN+ is a real-time clock/calendar with a full SPI interface, packing a 96B NVSRAM, alarm, leap-year compensation, and a trickle-charger into a 20-TSSOP package. It keeps time in HH:MM:SS (12/24 hr) and YY-MM-DD-dd formats, drawing 25.3µA to 81µA during timekeeping depending on supply voltage. The part is rated for -40°C to 85°C operation and accepts a main supply of 2V to 5.5V, with a separate battery input on the same voltage range for backup.
Trickle-charger and battery backup — what it means for your BOM
The trickle-charger supports a rechargeable backup battery or supercapacitor on the battery input. The battery supply range is 2V to 5.5V.
Active lifecycle — no end-of-life risk
The DS1305EN+ carries an Active product status and is ROHS3 compliant. No last-time-buy or obsolescence notice applies. For new designs or ongoing production, this part is a stable line item — no need to qualify a replacement or stockpile for an EOL window.
