Temperature compensated RTC has I2C interface

Claimed to offer the world’s best time accuracy across industrial temperature range at low current consumption, the RV-3032-C7 real time clock (RTC) module has been released by Micro Crystal. The compact RTC module has a custom IC and integrated quartz crystal resonator and sets new standards in size, claims the company. It is half the footprint of a uSOP-8 package, with no additional external components required. It is also claimed to offer the best accuracy (±0.26 s/day at -40 to +85 degrees C operating temperature). Low current consumption (160nA timekeeping mode) and power management capabilities are other features.

MCUs integrate peripherals for sensor-based IoT applications

Sensor-based IoT applications use a combination of analogue functionality and digital control capability to meet cost, size, performance and power parameters for efficiency. In response, Microchip has combined analogue peripherals and multi-voltage operation with inter-peripheral connections in its PIC18-Q41 and AVR DB MCU families. In addition to these attributes for increased system integration and reduced signal acquisition times, they offer the convenience and efficiency of operating in a single design environment, says Microchip.
