EM3028 Series from EM Microelectronic Extreme Low Power RTC with I2C   EM Microelectronic has introduced the EM3028 Series. It is absolutely the lowest power RTC on the market. While most MCU’s have built in RTC’s, the EM3028 is an order of magnitude lower power vs. the built in RTC (nano Amps vs. micro Amps). By bypassing the MCU RTC and adding the EM3028 externally, the savings are significant power and extend the life of the battery for a wearable, portable, or IoT platform. Accuracy is another significant advantage ofRead More
