Artasie Real-Time Clock Family - AM0815
The Ambiq Artasie Real-Time Clock family AM0815 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 AM0815 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 SPI serial interface for communication with a host controller.
