1.1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The RV-4162 is a low power serial Real Time Clock (RTC) module with built-in 32.768 kHz crystal (no external
components are required for the oscillator). Eight registers are used for the clock / calendar function and are
configured in binary coded decimal (BCD) format. An additional 8 registers provide status / control of alarm,
calibration, programmable square wave output and watchdog functions. Addresses and data are transferred
serially via a two line, bidirectional I2C interface. The built-in address register is incremented automatically after
each WRITE or READ data byte.
Functions available to the user include a time-of-day clock / calendar, alarm interrupts, programmable square wave
output, and watchdog. The eight clock address locations contain the century, year, month, date, day, hour, minute,
second and tenths / hundredths of a second in 24-hour BCD format. Corrections for 28, 29 (leap year), 30 and 31
day months are made automatically.
1.2. APPLICATIONS
