DESCRIPTION
The X1205 device is a Real Time Clock with clock/
calendar, two polled alarms, oscillator compensation,
and battery backup switch.
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.
The Real-Time Clock keeps track of time with separate
registers for Hours, Minutes, and Seconds. The
Calendar has separate registers for Date, Month, Year
and Day-of-week. The calendar is correct through
2099, with automatic leap year correction.
