FAQs of DS1644:
Q: How does the DS1644 maintain data retention during power loss?
A: The DS1644 is equipped with an embedded lithium cell that enables the device to preserve stored data and timekeeping functions for a minimum of 10 years, even when external DC power is unavailable. This makes it highly reliable for applications where data loss cannot be tolerated.
Q: What are the primary functions provided by the DS1644 module?
A: The DS1644 serves as both a nonvolatile SRAM (32 Kbytes) and a real-time clock, offering second-to-year timekeeping, leap year compensation, and calendar features. It combines data storage and timing in one compact solution suitable for various industrial and embedded applications.
Q: Where can DS1644 modules be used?
A: DS1644 modules are ideal for use in industrial control systems, embedded computers, instrumentation, and any application that requires nonvolatile memory with real-time clock functions. Despite being discontinued, they are still supported for replacement in legacy equipment throughout India by distributors and suppliers.
Q: When is it beneficial to use the DS1644 over separate SRAM and RTC components?
A: Choosing the DS1644 is beneficial when board space is limited, simplification of design is desired, and highly reliable backup protection is required. Its integrated RTC and SRAM, combined with battery backup, reduce component count and wiring complexity in critical systems.
Q: What is the maximum supply current of the DS1644 and its operational voltage range?
A: During active operation, the DS1644 draws up to 100 mA, while standby current is typically 1 mA. Its operational voltage range is from 4.5V to 5.5V DC, making it compatible with standard 5V logic systems.
Q: How is the DS1644 typically mounted in a system?
A: The device utilizes a through-hole design with a 28-pin plastic DIP package, allowing it to be securely mounted on printed circuit boards using standard DIP sockets or direct soldering for robust, reliable connections.
Q: What interface is required to communicate with the DS1644?
A: Communication with the DS1644 is achieved through a parallel interface using address and data buses (8-bit width). This supports fast data access with a typical access time of 100 ns, suitable for most legacy and embedded systems.
