The MCP79410-I/SN is a real-time clock (RTC) module manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is a low-power, serial interface, real-time clock with a built-in temperature sensor and battery backup.
Here are some key features of the MCP79410-I/SN:
1. Real-Time Clock: The MCP79410-I/SN provides accurate timekeeping functionality with a 64-byte battery-backed SRAM for storing time, date, and other relevant information.
2. Battery Backup: The module has a built-in battery backup function that allows it to retain the timekeeping data and settings during power loss or when the main power supply is disconnected.
3. I2C Interface: The MCP79410-I/SN uses the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) serial interface protocol for communication with other devices such as microcontrollers or host systems.
4. Alarm and Timer Functionality: It includes alarm and timer features that can be configured for specific time-based events and tasks.
5. Temperature Sensor: The module incorporates a temperature sensor that can measure the ambient temperature and provide temperature-related information.
6. Low Power Consumption: The MCP79410-I/SN is designed for low power consumption, making it suitable for battery-powered or energy-efficient applications.
The MCP79410-I/SN is commonly used in applications where accurate timekeeping is required, such as industrial automation, consumer electronics, medical devices, and data logging systems.
