Description

The M41T60 is a low power serial RTC with a built-in 32.768 kHz oscillator (external crystal controlled). Eight registers are used for the clock/calendar function and are configured in binary coded decimal (BCD) format. Addresses and data are transferred serially via a twoline bi-directional bus. The built-in address register is increased automatically after each WRITE or READ data byte.
