The M48T35Y-70MH1E from STMicroelectronics is a parallel-interface real-time clock (RTC) integrated circuit (IC) belonging to the Timekeeper® series. Designed for precision timekeeping, it combines a clock/calendar function with non-volatile SRAM, ensuring data retention during power loss. Operating within a 4.5V to 5.5V supply range, it consumes a maximum of 2mA during timekeeping, making it suitable for low-power applications. The device supports a 24-hour time format (HH:MM:SS) and includes leap year compensation, enhancing accuracy for long-term use. Housed in a 28-pin SOH package, it is surface-mountable and complies with ROHS3 and REACH environmental standards.
This RTC IC is ideal for systems requiring accurate timekeeping with minimal power consumption, such as:
The M48T35Y-70MH1E offers a robust, obsolete but reliable solution for applications demanding precision timekeeping with parallel interfacing. Its leap year support, low power consumption, and non-volatile memory make it a standout choice for legacy and industrial systems. While newer alternatives may exist, this IC remains a proven option for designers prioritizing simplicity, durability, and compliance in moderate-temperature environments.
