Overview

The RV-3028-C7 is an ultra-low power CMOS real-time clock module with an integrated 32.768 kHz quartz crystal and factory-calibrated accuracy of +/-1 ppm. It operates at an exceptionally low current of 45nA at 3V, making it ideal for always-on timing in battery-constrained applications. The device includes a unique 43-byte EEPROM for non-volatile configuration and a password-protected write system for enhanced security.

Why Choose This Part

The RV-3028-C7 stands out for its extreme 1ppm accuracy and industry-leading low current draw of 45nA. It simplifies hardware design by integrating the crystal and a trickle charger for backup capacitors or batteries into a tiny 3.2 x 1.5 mm package.

Applications

Battery-Powered IoT Nodes
Extends battery life in remote sensors by providing precise wake-up interrupts while consuming only 45nA.
Smart Metering
Ensures accurate timekeeping for utility billing over 10-20 year service lives even during power outages.
Secure Data Logging
Uses the time stamp function and password protection to verify when data was recorded and prevent unauthorized clock tampering.
Automotive Telematics
Provides reliable timekeeping for vehicle tracking systems using its AEC-Q200 qualified design.

Getting Started

Communicate with the device over a standard I2C bus using a supply voltage between 1.1V and 5.5V. Developers should utilize the integrated backup switchover circuit to automatically transition between VDD and a backup power source such as a supercapacitor or button cell.
