RT/CMOS RAM

The RT/CMOS RAM (real-time clock/complementary metal-oxide

 

semiconductor RAM) module contains the real-time clock

and 128

 

bytes

of

CMOS RAM. The clock circuitry uses 14 bytes of this

memory;

the

remainder is allocated to configuration and

 

system-status information. A battery is

built

into

 

the module

to keep

the

RT/CMOS

RAM active

when

the

power

supply

is

not

turned

on.

Figure 2-12

bytes
