M41T81SM6F

STMicroelectronics · Real-time Clocks (RTC) · SOIC-8

M41T81SM6F from STMicroelectronics, in a SOIC-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 XI input 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator input. Connect to one terminal of an external 32.768 kHz tuning-fork crystal (integrated load capacitance ~12.5 pF).
2 XO output 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator output. Connect to the other terminal of the external 32.768 kHz crystal.
3 VBAT power_in Battery supply voltage input. Connect to a lithium button cell (typ 3 V) to provide non-volatile clock operation when VCC is removed. The device automatically switches to VBAT when VCC falls below the switchover threshold (VSO).
4 VSS power_in Ground / 0 V reference for both VCC and VBAT domains.
5 SDA bidirectional I2C serial data (open-drain, bidirectional). Requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC. Supports 400 kHz Fast-mode I2C. Slave address D0h.
6 SCL input I2C serial clock input from the bus master. Requires an external pull-up resistor to VCC. Supports up to 400 kHz.
7 /IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW output Multi-function open-drain output. Selectable via register bits as: active-low interrupt request (alarm / watchdog / oscillator-fail), frequency test output, general-purpose output driver, or programmable square-wave (1 Hz-32.768 kHz). Requires external pull-up. Square wave has the highest priority when SQWE is enabled.
8 VCC power_in Main supply voltage input, 2.7 V to 5.5 V. Continuously monitored against VPFD (2.5-2.7 V) and VSO for automatic power-fail detection and battery switchover.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
m41t81sm6f.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
m41t81sm6f-etched.step 1.9 MB You want the part with M41T81SM6F already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 495 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: STMicroelectronics datasheet (32 pp, sha256 791596b091730dfd, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • 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).
