1. Overview
This module is an I C bus interface-compliant real-time clock which includes a 32.768-kHz crystal oscillator.
In addition to providing a calendar (year, month, date, day, hour, minute, second) function and a clock counter
function, this module provides an abundance of other functions including an alarm function, fixed-cycle timer
function, time update interrupt function, and 32.768-kHz output function.
The devices in this module are fabricated via a C-MOS process for low current consumption, which enables
long-term battery back-up.
All of these many functions are implemented in a thin, compact SON package, which makes it suitable for
various kinds of mobile telephones and other small electronic devices.

Function
This is the serial clock input pin for I C Bus communications.
This pin's signal is used for input and output of address, data, and ACK bits,
2
synchronized with the serial clock used for I C communications.
Since the SDA pin is an N-ch open drain pin during output, be sure to connect a suitable
pull-up resistance relative to the signal line capacity.
This is the C-MOS output pin with output control provided via the FOE pin.
When FOE = "H" (high level), this pin outputs a 32.768-kHz signal.
When output is stopped, the FOUT pin = "L" (low level).
This is an input pin used to control the output mode of the FOUT pin.
When this pin's level is high, the FOUT pin is in output mode. When it is low, output via the
FOUT pin is stopped.
This pins is used to output alarm signals, timer signals, time update signals, and other
signals. This pin is an open drain pin.
This pin is connected to a positive power supply.
Although this pin has the same potential as V
DD,
it should not be connected externally.
This pin is connected to a ground.
This pin is not connected to the internal IC.
Leave N.C. pins open or connect them to GND or V
DD
.
(Note) Note with caution that in the RX-8581NB (SON-22 pin), the N.C. pins (pins 14 to
22) are interconnected via the internal frame.
