DS3231 Pinout

Package: 16-pin, 300-mil SO

Notes

• Pin numbering source: Extracted directly from the provided pin description table (PIN column).
• N.C. pins (5–12): All eight no-connect pins must be connected to ground per datasheet specification.
• Open-drain pins: 32kHz, INT/SQW, RST, SDA all require external pullup resistors; pullup voltage can reach 5.5V independently of VCC.
• Power supply decoupling: Both VCC and VBAT should be decoupled with 0.1μF to 1.0μF capacitors when used.

(VCC = 2.3V to 5.5V, VCC = Active Supply (see Table 1), TA = TMIN to TMAX, unless otherwise noted.) (Typical values are at VCC = 3.3V, VBAT = 3.0V, and TA = +25°C, unless otherwise noted.) (Notes 2, 3)

• INT /SQW Relative to Ground.............................-0.3V to +6.0V

• Junction-to-Ambient Thermal Resistance ( θ JA ) (Note 1)....73°C/W

• Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance ( θ JC ) (Note 1) ......23°C/W

• Operating Temperature Range

• (noncondensing) .............................................-40°C to +85°C

• Junction Temperature......................................................+125°C

• Lead Temperature (soldering, 10s) .................................+260°C

• Soldering Temperature (reflow, 2 times max) Lead(Pb)-free...............................................................+260°C

• Containing lead(Pb).....................................................+240°C

• (See the Handling, PC Board Layout, and Assembly section.)

Note 1: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a fourlayer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial .

Stresses beyond those listed under 'Absolute Maximum Ratings' may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

(TA = TMIN to TMAX, unless otherwise noted.) (Notes 2, 3)
