The MSM5576RS is a real-time clock (RTC) IC produced by Mitsubishi Electric.

The MSM5576RS is a real-time clock (RTC) IC produced by Mitsubishi Electric . It is designed for use in systems that require precise timekeeping, offering a range of features typically used in applications such as embedded systems, consumer electronics, and industrial devices. RTC ICs like the MSM5576RS are essential for maintaining accurate time and date, even when the main system power is off, thanks to an external backup battery. Key Features and Specifications: Real-Time Clock (RTC) Functionality: The MSM5576RS is primarily used to maintain time in systems where accurate time-keeping is necessary, even during power outages. It provides seconds, minutes, hours, day of the week, day of the month, month, and year information. Timekeeping Accuracy: The device uses a crystal oscillator to provide time accuracy. The accuracy of the clock depends on the precision of the crystal oscillator, but typical deviations are around ±20ppm (parts per million). Date and Time: The RTC can pr...
