The M41ST85WMX6 from STMicroelectronics is a highly integrated Real-Time Clock (RTC) and Calendar IC designed for precision timekeeping in embedded systems. Operating within a 2.7V to 3.6V supply range, it features a 44-byte NVSRAM for non-volatile data storage, ensuring data retention during power loss. The device supports I2C communication, making it compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers. With a timekeeping current as low as 0.5mA, it is optimized for low-power applications. The RTC provides 24-hour time format (HH:MM:SS:hh) and includes advanced functionalities like leap year compensation, ensuring long-term accuracy.
The M41ST85WMX6 stands out for its low power consumption, integrated NVSRAM, and multifunctional features, making it a versatile solution for applications requiring reliable timekeeping and data retention. Its industrial-grade robustness and battery backup capability ensure uninterrupted performance in critical systems. While now obsolete, its legacy as a high-performance RTC remains relevant for designs prioritizing precision and functionality.
