Artasie Real-Time Clock - AM1815 RTC

Industry Leading RTC

The Ambiq® Artasie Real-Time Clock AM1815 with Power Management provides a groundbreaking combination of ultra-low power coupled with a highly sophisticated feature set. Based on Ambiq’s innovative Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT®) CMOS platform, with power requirements as low as 14 nA.

Detailed Functional Block Diagram for Ambiq Artasie RTC - AM1815

The AM1815 includes on-chip oscillators to provide minimum power
consumption, full RTC functions including battery backup and programmable counters and alarms for timer and watchdog functions, and a SPI
serial interface for communication with a host controller. An integrated
power switch and a sophisticated system sleep manager with counter,
timer, alarm, and interrupt capabilities allows the AM1815 to be used as
a supervisory component in a host microcontroller based system.
