Real-Time Clock/Calendar with Power Manager and Battery Charger


Cymbet has introduced the CBC921 Power Management / Real-Time Clock (PMRTC). The CBC921 PMRTC includes an ultra-low power timer, integrated power switch, and battery management functions.

Key Features:

  • Ultra-low power Real-Time Clock (RTC) with power-fail detect and battery management
  • Low power timer and power manager extend run time in battery-powered systems
  • Backup battery charger controls 4.1V rechargeable micro-batteries and 3.2V rechargeable coin cells and supercapacitors; no off-chip components required for battery charger
  • Buck charge pump supply extends run time on
  • backup battery:
    • 20nA RTC using internal RC oscillator
    • 50nA RTC using crystal oscillator
  • Integrated power switch reduces system power  consumption
  • Alarm capability on all counters
  • Configurable multi-use outputs for interrupts, output clock, and managing external devices
  • 64 bytes of RAM
  • Internal temperature measurement with  10-bit ADC enables oscillator temperature compensation
  • Advanced crystal calibration to ± 1 ppm
  • Ultra-low Iq VIN POR circuit (< 25nA)
  • Fixed indicators for PGOOD, charging current on, and charging disabled
  • Temperature range -40°C to +85°C
  • Serial communication: I2C-bus and SPI-bus options
  • 3mm x 3mm x 0.55mm 16L QFN package

 

Applications

  • Power bridging to provide uninterruptible RTC function during exchange of main batteries
  • Consumer appliances that have real-time clocks; switchover power from main supply to backup battery
  • Ultra-low power timer using only 20nA
  • Wireless sensors and RFID tags and other low duty cycle applications
  • Business and industrial systems such as: network routers, point-of-sale terminals, single-board computers, test equipment, multi-function printers, industrial controllers, and utility meters
    • Reliable system timekeeping
    • Battery-powered devices
    • Internet of Things
    • Portable/mobile devices
    • Daily alarms

In addition, the EVAL-14 evaluation board supports CBC921 PMRTC application development.

The CBC92132C and CBC92141C PMRTC part numbers are now sampling. Contact Cymbet for more information: Cymbet Support .
