Portable system controller with integrated RTC
The DS1673E-3+ is a portable system controller from Analog Devices that integrates a real-time clock (RTC) with alarm, leap-year compensation, and a watchdog timer. It communicates over a 3-wire serial interface and tracks time in HH:MM:SS (12/24 hr) and date in YY-MM-DD-dd format.
Supply range and timekeeping current
Operates from a 2.7V to 3.3V main supply, with a separate battery backup input from 2.5V to 3.7V. Timekeeping current draw is 100µA maximum at 3V, which sets the battery-life budget for portable designs where the RTC must keep time while the main rail is off.
20-TSSOP package and board integration
Housed in a 20-TSSOP (4.40mm width) surface-mount package, the DS1673E-3+ occupies a compact footprint for space-constrained portable-system PCBs. The supplier device package is the same 20-TSSOP, so the land pattern matches the standard JEDEC MO-153 outline for this body width.
