Product Overview
Holtek HT1380/HT1381 Serial Timekeeper Chip
General Description
The HT1380/HT1381 is a serial timekeeper IC which provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month and year information. The number of days in each month and leap years are automatically adjusted. The HT1380/HT1381 is designed for low power consumption and can operate in two modes: one is the 12-hour mode with an AM/PM indicator, the other is the 24-hour mode.
The HT1380/HT1381 has several registers to store the corresponding information with 8-bit data format. A 32768Hz crystal is required to provide the correct timing. In order to minimize the pin number, the HT1380/HT1381 use a serial I/O transmission method to interface with a microprocessor. Only three wires are required: (1) REST, (2) SCLK and (3) I/O. Data can be delivered 1 byte at a time or in a burst of up to 8 bytes
