SPI-Compatible RTC in a TDFN
General Description
The MAX6902 SPI™-compatible real-time clock con-
tains a real-time clock/calendar and 31 x 8 bits of static
random-access memory (SRAM). The real-time
clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day,
date, month, year, and century information. A time/date
programmable polled ALARM is included in the
MAX6902. The end-of-the-month date is automatically
adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including
corrections for leap year up to the year 2100. The clock
operates in either the 24hr or 12hr format with an
AM/PM indicator. The MAX6902 operates with a supply
voltage of +2V to +5.5V, is available in the ultra-small
8-pin TDFN package, and works over the -40°C to
+85°C industrial temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Detailed Description
The MAX6902 is a real-time clock/calendar with an SPI-
compatible interface and 31 x 8 bits of SRAM. It pro-
vides seconds, minutes, hours, day of the week, date of
the month, month, and year information, held in seven 8-
bit timekeeping registers (Functional
Diagram).
An on-
chip 32.768kHz oscillator circuit requires only a single
external crystal to operate. Table 1 specifies the para-
meters for the external crystal, and Figure 1 shows a
functional schematic of the oscillator circuit. The
MAX6902’s register addresses and definitions are
described in Figure 2 and in Table 2. Time and calendar
data are stored in the registers in binary-coded decimal
(BCD) format. A polled alarm function is included for
scheduled timing of user-defined times or intervals.
