The RTCC module is an integrated 100-year clock and calendar with automatic leap
year detection and correction. The range of the clock is from 00:00:00 (midnight) on January
1st, 2000 to 23:59:59 on December 31st, 2099. The RTCC module uses the 24-hour time format.
The RTCC provides users with the ability to accurately keep track of time, date, and configure
an alarm with an interrupt event. The RTCC module can be beneficial to use in applications
where accurate time keeping is needed due to the module’s optimized low-power consumption, the
ability to minimize CPU overhead, and the available V
BAT external battery connect
in the event of a V
DD power failure. Some features of the RTCC module include:
- Time: Hours, Minutes and Seconds
- 24-Hour Time Format
- Calendar: Weekday, Date, Month and Year
(Year range: 2000 to 2099)
