Real-Time Clock/Complementary Metal-Oxide
Semiconductor RAM
The real-time clock/complementary metal-oxide semiconductor RAM
(RT/CMOS) chip contains the real-time clock and 64 bytes of CMOS
RAM. The internal clock circuitry uses 14 bytes of this memory, and
the rest is allocated to configuration and system status information.
In addition to the 64 bytes of CMOS RAM, a 2KB CMOS RAM
extension is provided for configuration and other system information.
A 6-Vdc lithium battery maintains voltage to the RT/CMOS RAM and
2KB CMOS RAM extension when the power supply is not in
operation.
The system cover can be locked to prevent battery removal and loss
of password and configuration information.
The following figure shows the RT/CMOS RAM bytes and their
addresses.
