RTC with integrated NVSRAM and watchdog — what this part packs
The DS1501WZN+ from Analog Devices is a parallel-interface real-time clock (RTC) that also integrates 256 bytes of NVSRAM, a watchdog timer, an alarm, a square wave output, and Y2K/leap-year tracking. It keeps time in HH:MM:SS (24-hour) and YY-MM-DD-dd date formats. The parallel bus makes it a direct drop-in for designs that already use a byte-wide RTC interface — no SPI or I²C translation needed.
Supply and temperature — what the ratings mean for the BOM
Industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 85°C) covers outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor controllers, and automotive cabin-adjacent modules. No derating needed for the RTC function across that span.
Lifecycle and sourcing
ROHS3 compliant.
