The Renesas Electronics 1338C-18SRI8 is a serial real-time clock (RTC) featuring an I2C interface and an embedded crystal oscillator. It counts seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year with leap-year compensation valid up to the year 2100. The device includes two programmable time-of-day alarms and a programmable square-wave output. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and utilizes a 16-pin SOIC package.
Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential counterfeit risks. Confirm RoHS compliance status as documentation may vary by production batch. Check for End-of-Life (EOL) notifications or Product Change Notices (PCN) prior to procurement to ensure long-term supply stability.
Select this component when a low-power RTC with integrated timing elements is required. Ensure the design supports I2C communication protocols. Verify that the 16-pin SOIC footprint aligns with the PCB layout constraints and that the operating voltage matches system requirements.
This part belongs to the 1338/1339 series of serial real-time clocks from Renesas. These devices are designed for applications requiring accurate timekeeping without external crystals, reducing bill of materials (BOM) complexity and board space.
Direct pin-to-pin replacements should be verified against official substitution lists. Consider checking the 1338B or 1339C series variants for updated packaging or minor feature differences.
