Connect a Realtime-Clock to a Trizeps

Applies to: Trizeps IV(M), Trizeps IV WL, Trizeps V.
See also:

The Board Support Packages (Microsoft) for our Trizeps-modules support different realtime-clocks; i.e.

  • PCF8563 same chip as EPSON RTC-8564 (recommended)

  • PCF8563

  • M41T81

  • DS1340

  • DS1629

(see BSP for details of supported clocks) Of course support for other realtime-clocks can be added.

Signals

Most clocks use the I2C interface. Allthough the Trizeps already has pull-ups on these signals, designing additional pull-ups on the baseboard is recommended.
