The device combines an internal lithium battery, quartz crystal, clock and power-fail chip, and a full CMOS SRAM in a plastic 32-pin DIP module. The RTC Module directly replaces industry-standard SRAMs and also fits into many EPROM and EEPROM sockets without any requirement for special write timing or limitations on the number of write cycles. Registers for the real-time clock, alarm and other special functions are located in registers 7FFF8h 7FFFFh of the memory array.
