PCF2128
Integrated RTC / TCXO / Crystal
Rev. 00.03 — 4 June 2007
Preliminary [short] data sheet
1. General description
The PCF2128 is a ready to run CMOS real time clock/calendar with an integrated
temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO). In timekeeping applications the high
accuracy of the PCF2128 allows it to be used as a replacement for costly and higher
powered long wave receivers or GPS receivers. A programmable battery switch-over
circuit enables an uninterruptible power supply and consequently continuous timekeeping.
The PCF2128 additionally features 512 bytes of general purpose RAM, a programmable
watchdog, a time stamp facility and a voltage monitoring facility. Programming is possible
using either an SPI or an I2C-bus interface.
