SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
The M48T251Y/V TIMEKEEPER® RAM is a 512Kbit x 8 non-volatile static RAM and real time clock organized as 524,288 words by 8 bits. The special DIP package provides a fully integrated battery back-up memory and real time clock solution. In the event of power instability or absence, a self-contained battery maintains the timekeeping operation and provides power for a CMOS static RAM. Control circuitry monitors VCC and invokes write protection to prevent data corruption in the memory and RTC.
