Product details
Overview
M41T00SC64MY6E from STMicroelectronics is a monolithic integrated circuit combining a serial real-time clock (RTC) with embedded 32.768 kHz crystal and a 64 Kbit (8192 × 8) I²C EEPROM in a single 18-pin SOIC package. It provides BCD-formatted timekeeping (seconds to century), automatic leap-year compensation, battery-backed operation with 600 nA typical VBAT current, and supports 400 kHz I²C protocol for both RTC and EEPROM functions.
For engineers reviewing the M41T00SC64MY6E datasheet, M41T00SC64MY6E pinout, M41T00SC64MY6E application, or M41T00SC64MY6E equivalent, this device serves as a space- and power-constrained solution for time-stamped data logging, firmware configuration storage, and battery-backed system state retention in industrial controllers, point-of-sale terminals, and network infrastructure equipment.
Technical Context
The M41T00SC64 integrates two independent I²C slave devices on one die: the M41T00S RTC (device address 0xD0/0xD1) and the M24C64 EEPROM (device address 0xA0–0xA7). Both share SDA/SCL but operate with distinct control logic, register maps, and timing - RTC uses dedicated calendar registers (0x00–0x07), while EEPROM uses standard byte/page addressing across 8192 bytes.
Its embedded crystal package enables factory calibration to ±5 ppm at 25°C, with aging drift specified as ±3 ppm (Year 1) and ±1 ppm/year thereafter. The integrated power-fail detection circuit automatically switches to VBAT (2.5–3.5 V) when VCC drops below threshold, sustaining RTC operation and preserving EEPROM contents without external supervision.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to common microcontroller I/O rails without level-shifting. |
| I²C speed | Up to 400 kHz - enables fast time reads and EEPROM writes within standard fast-mode timing budgets. |
| Battery current | 600 nA typical at 3 V - extends coin-cell life beyond 9.5 years with 50 mAh BR1225 battery. |
| RTC accuracy | ±5 ppm at 25°C, ±3 ppm Year 1 drift - eliminates need for field calibration in temperature-stable environments. |
| EEPROM endurance | >1 million erase/write cycles - suitable for frequent parameter updates such as calibration offsets or usage counters. |
| Data retention | >40 years - ensures long-term firmware or configuration persistence without refresh. |
| Operating temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment without derating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 18-pin SOIC (SOX18), 300-mil width, with embedded 32.768 kHz crystal. RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | WC | Write Control input - active-low hardware write protect for EEPROM; overrides I²C write commands when asserted. |
| 4–6, 9, 12–13, 15 | NC / NF | No-connect or no-function pins - must be tied to VSS per datasheet; internal shorts exist between pins 2–3 and 16–17. |
| 7 | VSS | Ground reference - primary return path for RTC, EEPROM, and interface logic. |
| 8 | VBAT | Battery supply input - powers RTC during main supply failure; accepts 2.5–3.5 V lithium coin cell. |
| 10 | VCC | Main supply input - powers all digital logic and EEPROM programming; range 2.7–5.5 V. |
| 11 | E0 | Chip enable bit 0 - sets LSB of EEPROM I²C address (0xA0–0xA7); grounded or pulled high to configure device ID. |
| 14 | E1 | Chip enable bit 1 - middle bit of EEPROM I²C address; used with E0/E2 to support up to 8 EEPROMs on same bus. |
| 16–17 | E2 | Chip enable bit 2 - MSB of EEPROM I²C address; pins 16 and 17 are internally shorted. |
| 18 | FT/OUT | Open-drain frequency test/output - configurable as 1 Hz square wave or crystal test output; requires external pull-up. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Embedded crystal + factory calibration | Eliminates external crystal layout, load capacitor tuning, and post-SMT calibration labor. |
| Automatic power-fail switchover | Zero-software-intervention transition to battery backup preserves time continuity and prevents EEPROM corruption. |
| Software clock calibration register | Allows fine-tuning of RTC drift via EEPROM address 0x1550 - enables field compensation without hardware change. |
| Dual I²C slave addressing | RTC (0xD0/0xD1) and EEPROM (0xA0–0xA7) coexist on same bus without address conflict or arbitration overhead. |
| Special programmable output (FT/OUT) | Configurable 1 Hz time tick or crystal activity monitor - simplifies debugging and system-level timing verification. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Time Stamping | POS Terminal Configuration Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Recording timestamped I/O events and alarm triggers in programmable logic controllers operating across wide ambient temperatures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary RTC source providing BCD-encoded wall-clock time with automatic leap-year handling and battery-backed continuity.

| Network Equipment Boot Integrity | Medical Device Usage Logging |
Use Scenario: Validating firmware signature freshness and enforcing secure boot policies in routers and switches with strict uptime requirements. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides trusted time source for certificate validity checks and cryptographic nonce generation during boot sequence. Use Value: Enables time-bound security enforcement without relying on NTP synchronization - essential for air-gapped or offline deployments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar RTC+EEPROM integration applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maxim DS1340Z+ | Standalone RTC only (no EEPROM); 32KHz crystal required externally; lower battery current (300nA). | Lacks integrated nonvolatile storage - requires separate EEPROM or MCU flash for configuration data. | Select when ultra-low-power RTC-only function is prioritized and board space allows discrete crystal + EEPROM. |
| ST M41T81SM6F | Higher-accuracy RTC (±3.5 ppm), no embedded crystal, 64Kbit EEPROM, but uses larger 28-pin SOIC and lacks FT/OUT pin. | Requires external crystal and load capacitors; no 1 Hz output for system timing verification. | Choose when tighter initial accuracy is needed and PCB layout accommodates external crystal placement. |
Compared with DS1340Z+ and M41T81SM6F, the M41T00SC64MY6E uniquely delivers calibrated RTC + EEPROM in one compact SOX18 package with factory-trimmed crystal and debug-friendly FT/OUT - optimizing for minimal component count and field-deployable reliability in space-constrained industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the function of the FT/OUT pin?
The FT/OUT pin is an open-drain output that can be configured via internal register to deliver either a 1 Hz square wave (for timekeeping synchronization) or a buffered 32.768 kHz crystal signal (for oscillator health monitoring). It requires an external pull-up resistor and operates independently of the I²C bus state.
How does the M41T00SC64 handle power failure and battery switchover?
The device includes an integrated voltage-sense circuit that continuously monitors VCC. When VCC drops below the switchover threshold (~2.5 V), it automatically disconnects VCC and connects VBAT to sustain RTC operation and preserve EEPROM contents - no host intervention or external circuitry is required.
Can the embedded crystal be replaced or adjusted?
No - the 32.768 kHz crystal is permanently molded inside the SOX18 package during manufacturing and cannot be replaced or tuned. Calibration is performed at wafer/test level and stored in EEPROM address 0x1550; users may apply software fine-tuning but not mechanical crystal adjustment.
What is the I²C address mapping for RTC and EEPROM functions?
The RTC portion responds to I²C addresses 0xD0 (write) and 0xD1 (read), while the EEPROM uses addresses 0xA0–0xA7 depending on E0/E1/E2 pin states. These are hard-coded in silicon and cannot be changed via software - ensuring deterministic multi-device bus operation without address collision.
