Micro Crystal’s new C8 series RTC: Ultra-small real-time clock modules

25 October 2024

At Electronica 2024, scheduled for November 12 through November 15 in Munich, Germany, Micro Crystal will showcase the new C8 series (2.0 mm x 1.2 mm) real-time clock (RTC) modules offering feature-rich capability, optimized size in a lightweight and power efficient solution.

This ultra-small RTC module series, dedicated to compact and lightweight designs, paves the way for engineers striving to create smaller and more efficient electronic devices.

The C8 series stands as a testament to Micro Crystal's innovative prowess, combining a dedicated CMOS RTC chip with a minuscule quartz crystal, all encased in a compact 2.0 mm x 1.2 mm 8-pin ceramic case. This integration enables a low-profile design of 0.7 mm, further enhancing the series' compactness and weight (5.1 mg).

The RV-3028-C8, with I²C bus interface, represents the epitome of standalone nano-power (75 nA) timekeeping functions on a PCB when size, time accuracy (± 0.09 sec/day) and efficiency are crucial.

This makes it ideal for a range of applications including internet of things, industrial, healthcare and wearables.
