Artasie Real-Time Clock Family - AM1815
The Ambiq Artasie Real-Time Clock family AM1815 with Power Management provides a groundbreaking 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.
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 PC 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 AM1805 to be used as a supervisory component in a host microcontroller based system.
