The NXP RTC Demo is a reference design for a low power Real Time Clock and LCD solution. The Demo Board is controlled by a simple two-button user interface (MODE and SELECT). The Demo Board CD includes example code for several sample applications: a programmable time and date display, a programmable countdown timer, and a repeating pattern of text lines. The user can edit this code and download to the reprogrammable Flash microcontroller via a 10-pin header included on the board using any external ICP style programmer.

The flexible PCB layout supports two RTC package options:

  • 14-pin TSSOP for PCF2124
  • 10-pin HVSON for PCA2125

A small USB based ICP programmer that allows ICP programming of the P89LPC932A1 and many other NXP microcontrollers from any PC is available from FDI.
