The Micro Crystal RV-3028-C8 is an ultra-compact Real-Time Clock (RTC) module designed for applications where space and power efficiency are critical. Housed in a miniature 2.0 x 1.2 x 0.6 mm surface-mount ceramic package, it integrates a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal with a CMOS-based RTC circuit, providing accurate timekeeping in a minimal footprint.
Optimized for extreme low power consumption, the RV-3028-C8 operates at 70 nA when powered at 3 V, making it suitable for battery-powered devices requiring prolonged operation without frequent battery replacements. It offers a wide operating voltage range from 1.1 V to 5.5 V, ensuring compatibility with various power supply configurations.
Beyond basic timekeeping, the RV-3028-C8 provides advanced features such as programmable counters, alarms, selectable interrupts, and programmable clock outputs. It includes an external event input for time-stamped event logging and a 32-bit UNIX time counter for precise time tracking. The module also offers 43 bytes of non-volatile user memory and 2 bytes of user RAM for additional data storage needs.
