Product Overview
The BQ32000DR from Texas Instruments is an I2C serial real-time clock (RTC) with battery backup and integrated trickle charger in an 8-pin SOIC package. It provides seconds through calendar information with automatic leap-year compensation, programmable calibration from -63ppm to +126ppm, and oscillator-fail detection.
