TIMEKEEPER Supervisors convert standard low-power SRAM devices into non-volatile memory.
Advanced TIMEKEEPERs include additional features such as programmable alarms, watchdog timers, system reset outputs and battery low warning flags STMicroelectronics TIMEKEEPER products add a quartz crystal, very low power oscillator and a clock/calendar circuit to provide real-time data. The advantage is long term data retention with fast READ/WRITE times and unlimited READ/WRITE cycles of standard SRAMs. If this falls below a specific threshold it automatically write-protects the SRAM and switches the standby power supply to the internal lithium battery. The power-fail circuit monitors the external power supply voltage. STMicroelectronics ZEROPOWER products integrate low power SRAMs with a power-fail control circuit and a long-life lithium battery. Serial Real-Time Clock Product Selector.Our devices are available in two industry standard serial interfaces: I☬ (Inter-Integrated Circuit) and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface). Instead of the standard asynchronous parallel SRAM interface, Serial RTCs use a serial bus. Like ST's TIMEKEEPER® NVRAMs, Serial RTCs keep track of day-date-time, even in the absence of power.
