PCF8563 clock/timer

The PCF8563 is a CMOS Real-Time Clock (RTC) and calendar optimized for low power consumption. It includes a programmable clock output, an interrupt output, a voltage-low detector, and a backup battery input. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, weekday, month, and year information. The end of the month date is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap years. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator.
