General Description
The CMOS bq3285E/L is a low-
power microprocessor peripheral
providing a time-of-day clock and
100-year calendar with alarm fea-
tures and battery operation. The
bq3285L supports 3V systems.
Other bq3285E/L features include
three maskable interrupt sources,
square-wave output, and 242 bytes
of general nonvolatile storage.
A 32.768kHz output is available for
sustaining power-management ac-
tivities. Wake-up capability is pro-
vided by an alarm interrupt, which
is active in battery-backup mode.
The bq3285E/L write-protects the
clock, calendar, and storage registers
during power failure.
A backup
battery then maintains data and oper-
ates the clock and calendar.
The bq3285E/L is a fully compatible
real-time clock for IBM AT-compatible
computers and other applications.
The only external components are a
32.768kHz crystal and a backup bat-
tery.
