MCP7940M-I/MS, is a Real Time Clock (RTC) IC featuring a programmable alarm and temperature compensated clock oscillator. The module has an extremely low current (typically 150nA) which can be used to maintain timekeeping in order to maintain scheduled time related tasks. This IC is typically used in applications such as timing and data logging in low power systems.

The MCP7940M-I/MS is based on a 19.2MHz crystal oscillator and provides a programmable alarm and temperature compensated clock oscillator function. It includes a 32.768kHz crystal and a 5V or 3V low power lithium battery for backup power. The MCP7940M-I/MS has two programmable alarms that can be used to provide alerts for scheduled events or time-related tasks. The temperature compensated clock oscillator (32KHz) uses a temperature coefficient of fifteen ppm, providing a very accurate time keeper for applications that need precise timing.

The MCP7940M-I/MS allows the user to set alarm times, reset and control the alarms, select the real time clock output signal, and provide a power management system. A wide range of features are available with this system including an automatic shutdown, a battery monitor and a signal output compare feature. Additionally, the MCP7940M-I/MS has a temperature record function which enables it to keep track of the temperature of the environment.

The MCP7940M-I/MS has become a popular choice for low-power applications due to its low power consumption and advanced features. It is suitable for applications such as time-keeping in industrial automation, data logging, medical instrumentation, and automotive applications. The MCP7940M-I/MS provides an accurate and flexible way of keeping time and can be easily interfaced with MCUs, FPGAs and other embedded systems.

MCP7940M-I/MS can also be used as a safecracker as its mechanical engineering makes it difficult, if not impossible, to crack without special tools. Another significant application of MCP7940M-I/MS is in automotive and aviation safety systems as they are designed to detect and respond to potential interference in flight data systems. By making use of the MCP7940M-I/MS, such systems can be modernized and precision of flight data readings can be improved.
