BM8563EMA

GATEMODE · Real-time Clocks (RTC) · MSOP-8

BM8563EMA from GATEMODE, in a MSOP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 OSCI input Oscillator input. Connect one terminal of the 32.768 kHz quartz crystal here; a series trimmer capacitance Ctrim (5-25 pF) is applied on this pin to tune the load capacitance (CL parallel = 7-12.5 pF target).
2 OSCO output Oscillator output. Connect the second terminal of the 32.768 kHz quartz crystal here. Internal capacitance on OSCO is 15-35 pF (typ 25 pF).
3 INT output Interrupt output, open-drain, active LOW. Asserted by the alarm and/or timer flags (AF/TF) subject to AIE/TIE enables. Requires an external pull-up to VDD; IOL >= 1 mA at VOL = 0.4 V.
4 VSS power_in Ground reference (0 V).
5 SDA bidirectional I2C-bus serial data input/output. Open-drain; requires external pull-up. Slave address: read A3h / write A2h. Supports standard and fast modes up to 400 kHz (VDD >= 1.8 V). IOL(SDA) >= 3 mA at VOL = 0.4 V.
6 SCL input I2C-bus serial clock input. Requires external pull-up. Supports up to 400 kHz. Input thresholds: VIL <= 0.3 VDD, VIH >= 0.7 VDD.
7 CLKOUT output Programmable clock output, open-drain. Software-selectable frequencies of 32.768 kHz (default), 1.024 kHz, 32 Hz, and 1 Hz via CLKOUT_control (address 0Dh). Requires external pull-up; goes high-impedance when disabled. IOL >= 1 mA at VOL = 0.4 V.
8 VDD power_in Supply voltage. 1.2-5.5 V with interface inactive; 1.8-5.5 V for full 400 kHz I2C operation. Absolute max +6.5 V. Typical IDD ~ 500 nA at VDD = 3.0 V (interface inactive, CLKOUT disabled).

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
bm8563ema.step 123 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
bm8563ema-etched.step 2.2 MB You want the part with BM8563EMA already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 528 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: GATEMODE datasheet (29 pp, sha256 636c5bb2af64a7e3, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: lcsc)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
  • CAD: KiCad official libraries (CC-BY-SA 4.0).
