• SMD/SMT surface mount installation style
• Reel packaging configuration

Applications

• General timekeeping in electronic systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package type and pinout against the official datasheet before procurement, as distributor listings may vary. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements for your manufacturing process. Ensure the ordering suffix matches the exact variant required for your design specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated RTC from the Renesas 1338 family is required. Compare electrical parameters such as supply voltage and interface type with alternative models like the 1337 or 1339 series if different form factors are needed. Verify compatibility with the target system's power budget and communication protocols.

Part Context

This part belongs to the broader Renesas 1338 series of real-time clocks. Other variants in this series include the 1338B-18DVGI8 and 1338B-31DCGI8. These components share similar core functionalities but may differ in package types, such as SOIC or TSSOP, and specific interface configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Potential substitutes within the same family include the 1338B-18DVGI8. Cross-referencing with the 1337AGDVGI8 or 1339-31DVGI may be necessary if package differences (e.g., MSOP-8 vs. SOIC) can be accommodated in the design.
