RX-8803LC
Real-time clock module by Epson
The RX-8803LC 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 LC · VSOJ-12, 3.6 × 2.8 mm, standby current 750 nA typ., accuracy ±3.4 ppm over Temp (DTCXO), operating range −40 … +85 °C. EVIN input for 1 pps synchronisation (zero clear, 1 s down to 1/4096 s).
What the RX-8803LC can do
Digitally temperature compensated — the stated accuracy holds across the whole temperature range, not only at +25 °C.

Frequently asked questions about the RX-8803LC
How accurate is the RX-8803LC?
±3.4 ppm over Temp (DTCXO). Because the device is digitally temperature compensated, that figure holds across the whole temperature range.
How much current does the RX-8803LC draw in backup?
750 nA typ.. 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 RX-8803LC use?
I²C. Package: LC · VSOJ-12, 3.6 × 2.8 mm.
