Description
The ABRACON AB08X5 Real-Time Clock family
provides a groundbreaking combination of ultra-low
power coupled with a highly sophisticated feature
set. With power requirements significantly lower than
any other industry RTC (as low as 14 nA), these are
- Programmable low battery detection threshold
- Programmable analog voltage comparator
the first semiconductors based on
innovative
