Suntsu’s new RTC (Real-Time Clock), SLR32CN-32.768K, has a built-in 32.768kHz TCXO with an I2C bus interface and provides ultra-low power consumption. The 32.768 kHz crystal is the long-standing RTC timekeeping standard — 2¹⁵ Hz divides cleanly to a one-second tick — and pairing it with an I²C interface and microamp-level current draw is what enables years of battery-backed timekeeping [1] [2].
New CMOS process technology achieves ultra-low current consumption of 0.5µA, with a high frequency stability of +/-5.0ppm over -40~85°C.
Suntsu’s precise high-temperature sensor and compensation circuit ensures high clock accuracy and supports calendar, clock, alarm, and wakeup timer functions [2]. Various power supply sources can be used.
Key features include
- Built-in 32.768kHz TCXO
- Supply voltages of 1.6V to 5.0V
