The DS1337 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a lowpower, full binary-coded decimal (BCD)
clock/calendar Address
and data are transferred serially through an I2C
interface. The clock/calendar provides seconds,
minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year
information. The end of the month date is
automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31
days, including corrections for leap year. The clock
operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with
AM/PM indicator. The DS1337 has a built-in powersense circuit that detects power failures and
automatically switches to the backup supply,
maintaining time and date operation
