Datasheet

1. General description
The PCF8593 is a CMOS
1
clock and calendar circuit, optimized for low power
consumption. Addresses and data are transferred serially via the two-line bidirectional
I
2
C-bus. The built-in word address register is incremented automatically after each written
or read data byte. The built-in 32.768 kHz oscillator circuit and the first 8 bytes of the RAM
are used for the clock, calendar, and counter functions. The next 8 bytes can be
programmed as alarm registers or used as free RAM space.
