Product data sheet
1. General description
The PCF2123 is a CMOS1 Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calendar optimized for low power
applications. Data is transferred serially via a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI-bus) with a
maximum data rate of 6.25 Mbit/s. An alarm and timer function is also available providing
the possibility to generate a wake-up signal on an interrupt pin. An offset register allows
fine tuning of the clock.
2. Features
I Real time clock provides year, month, day, weekday, hours, minutes, and seconds
based on a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal
I Low backup current while running: typical 100 nA at VDD = 2.0 V and Tamb = 25 °C
I Resolution: seconds to years
I Watchdog functionality
I Freely programmable timer and alarm with interrupt capability
I Clock operating voltage: 1.1 V to 5.5 V
I 3 line SPI-bus with separate, but combinable data input and output
I Serial interface at VDD = 1.6 V to 5.5 V
I 1 second or 1 minute interrupt output
I Integrated oscillator load capacitors for CL = 7 pF
I Internal Power-On Reset (POR)
I Open-drain interrupt and clock output pins
I Programmable offset register for frequency adjustment
3. Applications
I Time keeping application
I Battery powered devices
I Metering
I High duration timers
I Daily alarms
I Low standby power applications
