PCF2128 Overview
The PCF2128 is a ready to run CMOS real time clock/calendar with an integrated temperature pensated crystal oscillator (TCXO). In timekeeping applications the high accuracy of the PCF2128 allows it to be used as a replacement for costly and higher powered long wave receivers or GPS receivers. A programmable battery switch-over circuit enables an uninterruptible power supply and consequently continuous timekeeping.
