This nanoPower RTC, which operates at less than 180 nA, frees the central microcontroller from timing, allowing for greater energy savings during sleep cycles and extended battery runtime.
Systems that use microcontrollers for precise timing waste battery life, which is unacceptable in portable applications. The MAX31341B is designed with a power management circuit that remains powered on during periods of inactivity, providing a timer for the microcontroller to power down to conserve energy and extend battery life. It is available in an ultra-small, wafer-level package measuring 2 mm x 1.5 mm.
