DESCRIPTION
—64-Byte Page Write Mode
—8 modes of Block Lock™ Protection
—Single Byte Write Capability
• High Reliability
—Data Retention: 133 years
The X1227 device is a Real Time Clock with clock/
calendar, two polled alarms with integrated 512x8
EEPROM, oscillator compensation, CPU Supervisor
(POR/LVS and WDT) and battery backup switch.
—Endurance: 133,333 cycles per byte
• 2-Wire™ Interface interoperable with I2C*
—433kHz data transfer rate
• Low Power CMOS
—1.25µA Operating Current (Typical)
• Small Package Options
The oscillator uses an external, low-cost 32.768kHz
crystal. All compensation and trim components are
integrated on the chip. This eliminates several external
discrete components and a trim capacitor, saving
board area and component cost.
—8-Lead SOIC and 8-Lead TSSOP
