The MCP79520T-I/MS belongs to the Clock/Timing family of devices with the Real Time Clocks being the focus. It is an advanced low power Real Time Clock (RTC), providing timekeeping functionality while requiring minimal power consumption. It provides an accuracy of up to ±1 second per day, as well as an exceptional 32KHz low-power crystal oscillator. The MCP79520T-I/MS has several versatile features, providing the flexibility to address the application requirements of a wide variety of systems.

The MCP79520T-I/MS offers an industry-standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and I2C interface, allowing for easy communication with the host microcontroller. It can operate from either a +3.3V or +5V supply, with integrated voltageTranslation logic for compatibility between the two voltage levels. The device can wake up from a power-down state by either activity on either the I2C or SPI bus or an externally connected interrupts. An adjustable clock frequency can be used when connecting the device to either an external oscillator or a 32KHz quartz crystal. Each of these features offers the flexibility to customize the clock for the application intended.

The MCP79520T-I/MS is also a RTC and provides a wide range of Real Time Clock features beneficial to a variety of applications. The device includes 20 general purpose memory locations that can be used as general purpose memory, protected memory, and even as an RTC specific backup memory. The protected memory allows the user to store vital data in the RTC and it cannot be altered externally by any SPI/I2C command. The MCP79520T-I/MS also provides up to 8 programmable alarms and periodic interrupts, allowing the user to create their own event-driven system. Alarms can be set for any of the month, day, or time, offering various levels of functionality. The device also includes time and date stamping that can be set up to 128 seconds and 128 events.

The working principle of the MCP79520T-I/MS is simple yet effective. The device has a clock circuit, which is a combination of a few basic components. This circuit is used to harvest power from the AC power supply, store it, and then power the clock to keep it running. The clock circuit also contains a crystal oscillator, which is responsible for maintaining the accuracy of the clock. The clock frequency is fixed by the oscillator frequency and the accuracy is maintained by the stability of the oscillator. The frequency stability is further improved with the use of a temperature compensated oscillator (TCXO).

The MCP79520T-I/MS can be used in a variety of different applications and industries, ranging from consumer electronics, to networking, security, and even industrial automation. It is ideal for applications that require accuracy and/or power management capabilities. It offers the flexibility for customizing the time keeping parameters and can easily be integrated into existing designs, making it a popular and sought-after choice for many design projects.
