PCF8583P Real Time Clock 10pcs DIP8 240×8 RAM Industrial

Description

Product Overview

The PCF8583P Real Time Clock (RTC) is a highly integrated timing solution designed for demanding industrial and scientific applications. Built on a compact DIP8 package, this module combines a full calendar, alarm, and a 240×8 static RAM memory array, delivering both precise timekeeping and data storage capabilities in a single chip. Its low power consumption, wide operating voltage range, and robust temperature tolerance make it suitable for environments ranging from factory automation to remote sensing stations. The module’s dimensions of 0.39 x 0.39 x 0.39 inches and weight of just 0.18 ounces ensure it can be easily incorporated into tight spaces on printed circuit boards, while the 10‑piece package provides designers with the flexibility to prototype, test, and scale production without the need for additional inventory management.

Usage

Engineers and system integrators will find the PCF8583P RTC indispensable for a variety of real‑world scenarios. In data logging equipment, the built‑in RAM allows temporary storage of timestamped sensor readings before they are transferred to permanent memory, reducing the risk of data loss during communication interruptions. In programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial controllers, the module provides reliable calendar functions for shift scheduling, maintenance reminders, and batch processing timelines. Its ability to operate reliably in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C ensures consistent performance in outdoor installations, manufacturing floors, and automotive test rigs. The 10‑piece DIP8 set also supports rapid prototyping, enabling developers to evaluate multiple design iterations or create redundant clock systems for critical applications.
