Product details
Overview
M41T82ZM6F from STMicroelectronics is an I²C real-time clock (RTC) IC with integrated 32.768 kHz oscillator interface, battery switchover circuitry, and 7-byte SRAM. It provides BCD-formatted timekeeping (tenths/hundredths of seconds through century), programmable alarm interrupt, watchdog timer, and operates from 2.0 V to 5.5 V with ultra-low 365 nA battery current. Used in industrial control panels requiring long-term timestamping during mains loss.
For engineers reviewing the M41T82ZM6F datasheet, M41T82ZM6F pinout, M41T82ZM6F application, or M41T82ZM6F equivalent, key selection criteria include battery-backed time retention at ≤2.38 V VCC, factory-calibrated ±5 ppm accuracy after reflow, I²C 400 kHz support, and SO8 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The M41T82ZM6F implements a dedicated RTC core with automatic leap-year correction, oscillator stop detection, and dual-voltage power sense (VSO = VRST = 2.32 V for Z-grade). Its I²C slave interface uses fixed 0xD0h address and supports sequential read/write across 32 registers including clock, alarm, watchdog, and calibration control.
It features hardware-based battery switchover without external components, a dedicated FT/RST open-drain output for power-on reset assertion, and a halt bit (HT) enabling precise power-down timestamping. The device lacks square wave output and IRQ2-differentiating it from M41T83 variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Battery supply current | 365 nA - enables >10-year coin-cell operation in backup mode |
| Accuracy (post-reflow) | ±5 ppm typical - meets industrial timing requirements without field calibration |
| Operating voltage range | 2.0 V to 5.5 V - supports wide-input power rails and brown-out resilience |
| I²C bus speed | 400 kHz - compatible with standard fast-mode microcontroller peripherals |
| Time format | BCD - simplifies firmware parsing of calendar data without binary conversion |
| Backup supply threshold | VSO = VRST = 2.32 V - ensures seamless switchover before system brown-out |
| User SRAM | 7 bytes - retains non-volatile configuration or event logs during power loss |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (SO8), 4.90 mm × 3.90 mm body, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (FT/RST) | Frequency test / Reset output | Open-drain active-low reset signal asserted on power-up; also used for crystal frequency verification |
| 2 (SDA) | Serial data I/O | Bi-directional I²C data line with internal pull-up; requires external pull-up for bus operation |
| 3 (VBAT) | Battery supply input | Connects to lithium coin cell; powers RTC when VCC < 2.32 V; tie to VSS if unused |
| 4 (SCL) | Serial clock input | Input-only I²C clock line; synchronizes register access and data transfer |
| 5 (VSS) | Ground reference | Primary return path for all analog and digital circuits; must be low-impedance |
| 6 (XO) | Oscillator output | Drives external 32.768 kHz crystal; paired with XI to form Pierce oscillator |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-calibrated accuracy | ±5 ppm typical after two reflows - eliminates need for post-solder calibration in production |
| Programmable analog calibration | Adjusts internal load capacitance to compensate crystal tolerance and PCB parasitics |
| Dual alarm capability | Two independent alarms with repeat modes (daily, monthly, weekday) - enables complex scheduling without host CPU intervention |
| Watchdog timer | Configurable timeout from 16 ms to 2.1 s - provides fail-safe recovery for embedded firmware lockups |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar real-time clock applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1337+T&R | Lacks built-in oscillator interface; requires external crystal and load caps; no analog calibration | Higher BOM cost and layout complexity; less accurate over temperature without trimming | Select when footprint compatibility is secondary and crystal sourcing is constrained |
| M41T00M6F | Single-alarm only; no watchdog timer; 512-bit EEPROM instead of SRAM; same SO8 package | Reduced feature set for cost-sensitive designs where alarm redundancy and fail-safe reset are unnecessary | Select when only basic timekeeping and one alarm are required, and EEPROM retention is preferred over SRAM speed |
Compared with DS1337+T&R and M41T00M6F, the M41T82ZM6F delivers superior accuracy stability via programmable analog/digital calibration, integrated power-fail switchover logic, and dual-alarm flexibility - making it optimal for industrial systems demanding long-term reliability and minimal external components.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC voltage that maintains RTC functionality before switchover to VBAT?
The M41T82ZM6F switches to battery backup when VCC falls below 2.32 V (VSO/VRST threshold for Z-grade). Below this level, the RTC continues running from VBAT with full register access and alarm functionality preserved. This threshold is factory-trimmed and does not require external resistors or configuration.
Does M41T82ZM6F support automatic leap-year correction?
Yes. The M41T82ZM6F automatically adjusts calendar dates for February 29 in leap years and handles variable month lengths (28–31 days) without host software intervention. This behavior is hardwired in the RTC logic and applies to all BCD calendar registers (date, month, year, century).
Can the FT/RST pin be used solely as a reset output without frequency test function?
Yes. The FT/RST pin defaults to active-low reset output on power-up and remains in that mode unless explicitly configured via the frequency test enable bit (FTEN) in the control register. When FTEN = 0, the pin functions exclusively as RST with no frequency test activity.
How is oscillator accuracy calibrated in production?
ST performs factory calibration using a precision oven-controlled crystal reference, measuring deviation at 25 °C and programming digital correction values into the device's calibration register. Each unit receives a unique trim value, achieving ±5 ppm typical accuracy after two reflow cycles - documented in ST's production test report for M41T82ZM6F.
