DS1683
Total-Elapsed-Time and Event Recorder with Alarm
General Description
Benefits and Features
The DS1683 is an integrated elapsed-time recorder con-
taining a factory-calibrated, low-temperature-coefficient
RC time base that eliminates the need for an external
crystal. Using EEPROM technology to maintain data in
the absence of power, the DS1683 requires no backup
power source. The DS1683 detects and records the num-
ber of falling edge transitions on the EVENT pin as well
as the total cumulative time that the EVENT pin is held
high. The ALARM pin alerts the user when the total time
accumulated equals or exceeds the user-programmed
alarm value, or when the total number of events equals
or exceeds the user-programmed alarm value. The polar-
ity of the open-drain ALARM pin can be programmed
to either drive low or become high impedance upon an
alarm condition. The DS1683 is ideal for applications that
monitor the total amount of time that a device has been
in operation and/or the number of uses since inception
service, repair, or last calibration.
