HT4338ARZ

HTCSEMI · Real Time Clocks · SOP-8

HT4338ARZ from HTCSEMI, in a SOP-8. 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 X1 input Connection for a standard 32.768kHz quartz crystal with a specified load capacitance of 12.5pF, and it is the input to the internal oscillator that can optionally be driven by an external 32.768kHz oscillator.
2 X2 output Output of the internal oscillator for the crystal, which is left floating when an external oscillator is connected to X1.
3 VBAT power_in Backup supply input for a standard 3V lithium cell or other energy source, which must be held between the datasheet's minimum and maximum limits (2.0 V to 3.5 V) for proper operation, and must be grounded if no backup supply is used.
4 GND power_in Ground reference for the device.
5 SDA bidirectional Serial data input/output for the I2C-type two-wire interface; the pin is open drain and requires an external pullup resistor.
6 SCL input Serial clock input for the two-wire interface that synchronizes data movement on SDA.
7 SQW/OUT output Programmable square-wave/output driver, open drain, requiring an external pullup resistor, that outputs 1Hz, 4kHz, 8kHz or 32kHz when enabled and operates with either VCC or VBAT applied.
8 VCC power_in Primary power supply, which must be within the normal limits of 4.5 V to 5.5 V for full read/write access, and below which access is inhibited when a backup supply is connected.
