GN1303

The GN1303 trickle charge timekeeping chip incorporates a real-time clock/calendar and 31 bytes of static RAM, communicating with a microprocessor via a simple serial interface. The real-time clock/calendar provides year, month, date, hour, minute, and second information, with automatic end-of-month adjustment for months with fewer than 31 days, as well as leap year correction. With an AM/PM indicator, the clock can operate in either 12-hour or 24-hour format. In addition to timekeeping functions, the following features are included: dual-pin primary and backup power supply, programmable trickle charger VCC1, and an additional 7-byte scratch pad register.
