PCF8563
Real-time clock/calendar
Rev. 11  26 October 2015 Product data sheet
1. General description
1
The PCF8563 is a CMOS Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calendar optimized for low power 
consumption. A programmable clock output, interrupt output, and voltage-low detector are 
also provided. All addresses and data are transferred serially via a two-line bidirectional 
2
I C-bus. Maximum bus speed is 400 kbit/s. The register address is incremented 
automatically after each written or read data byte.
2. Features and benefits
 Provides year, month, day, weekday, hours, minutes, and seconds based on a 
32.768 kHz quartz crystal
