SPI RTC with trickle-charge and alarm — what it does on the board
The Maxim Integrated DS1394U-33+T&R is a SPI-bus real-time clock/calendar in a 10-pin TFSOP/uMAX package. It tracks time in HH:MM:SS:hh (12/24 hr) and date in YY-MM-DD-dd format, with built-in alarm, leap-year compensation, and a square-wave output for system timing references. The integrated trickle-charger keeps a backup supercap or lithium coin cell topped off, so the RTC holds time through a main power loss. The industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 85°C) suits outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor controllers, and metering equipment that sees seasonal temperature swings. Surface-mount assembly on a 10-pin MSOP footprint keeps board area tight.
