Datasheet

1. General description
The PCF2123 is a CMOS
1
Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calendar optimized for low power
applications. Data is transferred serially via a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI-bus) with a
maximum data rate of 6.25 Mbit/s. An alarm and timer function is also available providing
the possibility to generate a wake-up signal on an interrupt pin. An offset register allows
fine tuning of the clock.
2. Features and benefits
Real time clock provides year, month, day, weekday, hours, minutes, and seconds
based on a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal
