Cymbet Launches Ultra-Low Power EnerChip RTC with Integrated Battery

Cymbet Corporation announced the commercial release of the EnerChip RTC product family that combines an ultra-low power Real Time Clock with a rechargeable solid state battery and power management IC in a single 5mm x 5mm plastic package.

The EnerChip RTC is the world’s smallest RTC with integrated power holdover. This is accomplished by integrating bare die RTC, EnerChip battery and PMIC devices into a tiny single package that uses Surface Mount Technology (SMT) and reflow solder processes. EnerChip RTCs power usage range from 35nA to 125nA depending on clocking mode and can be configured to provide up to 120 hours of RTC power back-up per charge with thousands of recharge cycles. The EnerChip RTC is an ideal replacement for bulky and troublesome coin cell batteries and supercapacitors.

“The life-of-product EnerChip RTC enables our customers create new product designs and form factors,” said Bill Priesmeyer, Cymbet president and CEO. “Placing an ultra-low power EnerChip RTC in a tiny space anywhere on the board drives innovative products, increases quality and lowers warranty costs.”
