‘World's Smallest’ Low current real time clock modules

Crystal devices specialist, Epson Toyocom Corporation, has developed the world's smallest real-time clock modules.

The maximum dimensions of the new RTC modules, known as the RX-4571BD and RX-8571BD, are just 3.4 mm x 1.7 mm x 1.0t mm. With a footprint and cubic volume that are 43% and 52% smaller, respectively, than those of conventional real time clock modules in an LC package, the new real-time clock modules will help electronic equipment manufacturers further downsize their products while boosting performance. Samples of the RX-8571BD will be available from April 2009.
