Artasie Real-Time Clock - AM0815 01

The Ambiq^® Artasie Real-Time Clock AM0815 provides a ground- breaking combination of ultra-low power coupled with a highly sophisticated feature set. With power requirements significantly lower than any other industry RTC (as low as 14 nA), these are the first semiconductors based on Ambiq’s innovative SPOT^® (Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology) CMOS platform.

Feature Highlights 02

Full-Function RTC

Serves as a full function RTC for host processors such as microcontrollers.

3 Distinct Feature Groups

Includes three distinct feature groups: 1) baseline timekeeping, 2) advanced timekeeping, and 3) basic power management.

Ultra-Low Current Draw

Baseline timekeeping feature group supports the standard 32.786 kHz crystal (XT) oscillation mode for maximum frequency accuracy with an ultra-low current draw of 55 nA.

Proprietary Calibration Algorithm

A proprietary calibration algorithm allows the AM0815 to digitally tune the RC oscillator frequency and the XT oscillator frequency with accuracy as low as 2 ppm at a given temperature.

Advanced Timekeeping

Advanced timekeeping feature group supports two additional oscillation modes: 1) RC oscillator mode, and 2) Autocalibration mode.

Power Management

Power management features built into the AM0815 enable it to operate as a backup device in both line-powered and battery-powered systems.
