The DS1306E+ from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated is a highly reliable SPI-interfaced real-time clock/calendar (RTC) IC designed for precision timekeeping in embedded systems. Operating within a 2V to 5.5V supply range, it features a low power consumption of 25.3µA to 81µA, making it ideal for battery-backed applications. The device includes 96 bytes of NV SRAM for data storage and supports both 12-hour and 24-hour time formats with seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year tracking. Packaged in a 20-pin TSSOP and rated for 0°C to 70°C, it is RoHS3 compliant and suited for surface-mount assembly.
The DS1306E+ stands out for its low power consumption, SPI interface, and integrated memory, making it a versatile choice for battery-powered and precision-critical applications. Its wide operating voltage, industrial-grade reliability, and compact form factor make it superior to basic RTCs, particularly in embedded and portable electronics. Whether for time-stamping, scheduling, or data logging, this IC delivers performance, efficiency, and durability in demanding environments.
