DS1904L-F5 RTC iButton (Real-Time Clock/calendar in binary format)

The DS1904L RTC iButton is a rugged real-time clock module that can be accessed with minimal hardware. Data is transferred serially via the 1-Wire protocol, which requires only a single data lead and a ground return. The DS1904L contains a unique 64-bit factory-lasered ROM and a real-time clock/calendar implemented as a binary counter. The durable MicroCan package is highly resistant to environmental hazards such as dirt, moisture, and shock.
Accessories permit the DS1904L to be mounted on almost any surface including printed circuit boards and plastic key fobs. The DS1904L adds functions such as calendar, time and date stamp, stopwatch, hour meter, interval timer, and logbook to any type of electronic device or embedded application that uses a microcontroller.
