RA8804CE
Real-time clock module by Epson
The RA8804CE is a real-time clock module from Epson with a built-in 32.768 kHz crystal — no separate watch crystal on the board, no load capacitance and layout risk. Interface I²C, package CE · 3.2 × 2.5 × 1.0 mm, standby current 350 nA typ. · 1500 nA max., accuracy ±3.4 ppm over −40 … +85 °C (DTCXO), operating range −40 … +105 °C. AEC-Q100 — the automotive version of the RX8804CE. No power switch.
What the RA8804CE can do
Digitally temperature compensated — the stated accuracy holds across the whole temperature range, not only at +25 °C.
Events are recorded with their time inside the device, without the MCU having to wake up for it.
AEC-Q100. Delivery only after separate release by Epson — we will start that process for you.

Frequently asked questions about the RA8804CE
How accurate is the RA8804CE?
±3.4 ppm over −40 … +85 °C (DTCXO). Because the device is digitally temperature compensated, that figure holds across the whole temperature range.
Is the RA8804CE AEC-Q100 qualified?
Yes. The type belongs to the automotive line. Delivery requires a separate release by Epson — we will start that process for you.
How much current does the RA8804CE draw in backup?
350 nA typ. · 1500 nA max.. With a 225 mAh coin cell that is enough for many years of pure timekeeping on paper; the self-discharge of the cell usually becomes the limiting factor.
Which interface does the RA8804CE use?
I²C. Package: CE · 3.2 × 2.5 × 1.0 mm.
