M41T00M6 works as a device which was made by STMicroelectronics.

The M41T00M6 is a low power serial real time clock with a built-in 32.768 kHz oscillator (external crystal controlled). Eight bytes of the RAM are used for the clock/calendar function and are configured in binary coded decimal (BCD) format. Addresses and data are transferred serially via a two-line bidirectional bus. The built-in address register is incremented automatically after each

WRITE or READ data byte. The M41T00 clock has a built-in power sense circuit which detects power failures and automatically switches to the battery supply during power failures. The energy needed to ustain the RAM and clock operations can be supplied from a small lithium coin cell. Typical data retention time is in excess of 5 years with a 50 mA/h 3 V lithium cell (see Section 2.10 data retention mode for AC/DC characteristics). The M41T00 is supplied in 8-lead plastic small outline package.
