GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Using EEPROM technology to maintain data in the absence of power, the DS1683 requires no backup power source. The polarity of the open-drain ALARM pin can be programmed to either drive low or become high impedance upon an alarm condition. The DS1683 is ideal for applications that monitor the total amount of time that a device has been in operation and/or the number of uses since inception service, repair, or last calibration.
