DS1341/DS1342
Low-Current I C RTCs for High-ESR Crystals
General Description
Features
● Low Timekeeping Current of 250nA (typ)
The DS1341/DS1342 low-current real-time clocks (RTCs)
are timekeeping devices that provide an extremely low
standby current, which permits longer life from a power
supply. The DS1341/DS1342 support high-ESR crystals,
which broaden the pool of usable crystals for the devices.
The DS1341 uses a 6pF crystal, while the DS1342 uses
a 12.5pF crystal. These devices are accessed through

of-day alarms, two interrupt outputs, a programmable
square-wave output, and a serial bus timeout mechanism.
● Bus Timeout for Lockup-Free Operation
The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours,
day, date, month, and year information. The date at the
end of the month is automatically adjusted for months with
fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year.
The clock operates in either 24hr or 12hr format with an
AM/PM indicator.
● RTC Counts Seconds, Minutes, Hours, Day, Date,
Month, and Year with Leap Year Compensation Valid
Through 2099
● External Clock Source for Synchronization Clock
Reference (e.g., 32kHz, 50Hz/60Hz Power Line,
GPS 1PPS)
The DS1341/DS1342 also include an input for synchroni-
zation. When a reference clock (e.g., 60Hz power line or
GPS 1PPS) is present at the CLKIN pin and the enable
external clock input bit (ECLK) is set to 1, the DS1341/
DS1342 RTCs are frequency-locked to the external clock
and the clock accuracy is determined by the external
source. In case of external clock failure, the clock is
switched to the crystal oscillator.
● Two Time-of-Day Alarms with Two Interrupt Outputs
● Programmable Square-Wave Output
● Industrial Temperature Range
● Small 8-Pin μSOP or TDFN Packages
Applications
● Medical
● Point of Sale (POS)
● Telematics
● Portable Instruments
● Portable Audio
The devices are available in lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-
compliant, 8-pin µSOP or TDFN packages. The devices
support a -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
