The PCF1178C is a single chip, 4.19 MHz CMOS car clock circuit providing hours, minutes and seconds functions. It is designed to drive a 4-digit duplex liquid crystal display (LCD). Two external single-pole, single-throw switches will accomplish all time setting functions. Time calibration and voltage regulator are electrically programmable via an on-chip EEPROM. The circuit is battery-operated via an internal voltage regulator and an external resistor.
