Thanks everyone who responded on my request for information on low
cost Real Time Clocks - since several people asked, here is a quick
summary of what was said.

Dallas DS1202 $2.40@100pc w/static RAM, micropower

JRC NJU6355 $1.00@100pc, micropower

Phillips I2C PCF8583 w/ static RAM <$5 - haven't checked this one out
yet

Motorola/Hitachi 146818 - around $4, high current draw

Microchip AN615 describes implementing the RTC on a '54 (app note not
available on-line yet)


The JRC part is a real bargain-if a broken English data sheet doesn't
bother you, but it turns out that I will need some static RAM, so
will be going with the Dallas part.

Thanks everyone for the input.
