Clock Chip search



Thanks. I looked through these and the closest I can seem to get is a
"dual" alarm chip. I was really hoping I could find something off the
shelf with 3 or 4 events and separate alarm output pins for each. I am
trying to avoid cobbling up a processor and RTC for this if it already
exists.

There used to be some really neat VLSI's for clock circuits, but these days
a PIC or similar processor is simple, dirt cheap and scarcely cobbled
together.

Cheers.

Hello Ken,
There used to be some really neat VLSI's for clock circuits, but these days

Or use a MSP430 plus a watch crystal. It can run on a few uA, keep time
and handle all kinds of events.
