DS1338
I2C RTC with 56-Byte NV RAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DS1338 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-
power, full binary-coded decimal (BCD)
clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address
and data are transferred serially through an I2C
interface. The clock/calendar provides seconds,
minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year
information. The end of the month date is
automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31
days, including corrections for leap year. The clock
operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with
AM/PM indicator. The DS1338 has a built-in power-
sense circuit that detects power failures and
automatically switches to the backup supply,
maintaining time and date operation

rr = second line, revision level
+ Denotes a lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant device.
# Denotes a RoHS-compliant device that may include lead that is
exempt under the RoHS requirements. The lead finish is JESD97
category e3, and is compatible with both lead-based and lead-free
soldering processes.
† A “+” anywhere on the top mark denotes a lead-free device. A “#”
denotes a RoHS-compliant device.
