The DS1341/DS1342 low-current real-time clocks (RTCs)
are timekeeping devices that provide an extremely low
standby current, which permits longer life from a power
supply. The DS1341/DS1342 support high-ESR crystals,
which broaden the pool of usable crystals for the devices.
The DS1341 uses a 6pF crystal, while the DS1342 uses
a 12.5pF crystal. These devices are accessed through
an I
2
C serial interface. Other features include two time-
of-day alarms, two interrupt outputs, a programmable
square-wave output, and a serial bus timeout mechanism.
The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours,
day, date, month, and year information. The date at the
end of the month is automatically adjusted for months with
fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year.
The clock operates in either 24hr or 12hr format with an
AM/PM indicator.
The DS1341/DS1342 also include an input for synchroni-
zation. When a reference clock (e.g., 60Hz power line or
GPS 1PPS) is present at the CLKIN pin and the enable
external clock input bit (ECLK) is set to 1, the DS1341/
DS1342 RTCs are frequency-locked to the external clock
and the clock accuracy is determined by the external
source. In case of external clock failure, the clock is
switched to the crystal oscillator.
The devices are available in lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-
compliant, 8-pin µSOP or TDFN packages. The devices
support a -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.

Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-layer
board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
