Product Overview
The PCF85063AT/AAZ from NXP Semiconductors is an ultra-low-power CMOS real-time clock (RTC) and calendar with I2C interface in an 8-pin TSSOP package. Consuming only 0.35 µA typical backup current, it provides seconds through year counting, alarm functions, and programmable offset for crystal frequency compensation.
