BQ4830YMA-85 32KByte RTC Module PDIP-28 (USED)
The BQ4830YMA-85 is a compact PDIP-28 module that integrates a crystal-controlled real-time clock, power-fail control and an internal lithium backup battery with 32,768 bytes of byte-addressable nonvolatile SRAM organized as 32K×8, providing combined timekeeping and data retention in a single drop-in replacement for industry-standard 32K×8 SRAMs used in legacy and embedded systems. The module presents standard address and data bus signals for direct CPU interface and offers dual-port style clock registers that update once per second without interrupting normal SRAM access.
Features
- Integrated 32K×8 nonvolatile SRAM with on-board real-time clock and control registers.
- Crystal timebase with clock/calendar in 24-hour BCD format and software clock calibration.
- Dual-port style clock registers that allow atomic clock updates while SRAM remains accessible.
- Internal lithium battery and power-fail detect circuit to automatically protect data on VCC loss.
- Pin-compatible with industry-standard 32K × 8 SRAMs, enabling simple retrofit into existing designs.
- Unlimited standard SRAM write cycles during normal operation with automatic write-protect on power-fail.
- Typical data retention of 10 years when battery/oscillator are enabled.
- Compact 28-pin DIP module for through-hole mounting and easy prototyping or board replacement.
