AB1815-T3

Abracon LLC · Real-time Clocks (RTC) · QFN-16(3x3)

AB1815-T3 from Abracon LLC, in a QFN-16(3x3). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 nRST output External reset output, open drain with polarity set by the RSP bit (active low on power up); needs an external pull-up if used and can float if unused.
2 WDI input Watchdog timer reset input that can also generate External 2 interrupt (EX2P/EX2E); has no internal pull, so it must not float and must be tied to VCC or VSS if unused.
3 nEXTR input External reset input that drives nRST to its asserted value when low and RS1E is set; no internal pull, so it must not float and must be tied to VCC or VSS if unused.
4 PSW/nIRQ2 output Secondary open-drain interrupt output (OUT2S configurable) that becomes a ~1 Ω power switch when PWR2 is set; can float if unused.
5 VBAT power_in Battery backup power connection; must be tied directly to VSS if no backup battery is present, and may also serve as the internal comparator analog input.
6 SDO output SPI data output connection.
7 SCL input Interface clock input for I2C and SPI parts; a pull-up resistor is required on this pin.
8 CLKOUT/nIRQ3 output Push-pull square wave output that can drive the OUT bit or the SQW square wave when SQWE is enabled.
9 SDI input SPI data input connection.
10 EXTI input External interrupt input (External 1 interrupt via EX1P/EX1E) with no internal pull, so it must not float and must be tied to VCC or VSS if unused.
11 FOUT/nIRQ output Primary open-drain interrupt/function output (OUT1S configurable) requiring an external pull-up, asserted low at power up until the device is accessible via the serial interface.
12 nCE input Active-low SPI chip select input; a pull-up resistor is recommended to avoid floating and inadvertent writes during power transitions.
13 VCC power_in Primary power connection; a single supply must be connected to VCC.
14 AF passive Autocalibration filter connection; place a 47 pF ceramic capacitor between this pin and VSS for improved Autocalibration timing accuracy.
15 XO output Crystal oscillator output connection.
16 XI input Crystal oscillator input connection.
17 VSS power_in Ground connection; the thermal pad (pin 17) on the bottom of the QFN-16 package must be connected to VSS.
