Hello ,
I wanted to know if there are any replacements for parts such as the RTC and the 32kHz crystal as stated below?. @overeasy did provide an alternative to it (M41T81) but it seems sadly that’s not available either.Also when I replace these two parts , any changes I need to make or take care of ? Thanks .
RTC : PCF8523T/1
Crystal : CM250C32000AZFT
The two RTC are interchangeable with no firmware changes. They are recognized dynamically.
The crystal is a standard part for which you should be able to find available substitutes using a parametric search. Basically matching the form factor, frequency and capacitance.
Both RTC are out of stock globally ,arent there any other alternatives ?
Not mechanically and electrically as far as I know. The two supported models are not the same interface but firmware detects and adapts.
Sorry for the late reply , so i guess the only option for now is getting those pcf8523 adafruit RTC modules and de-soldering it .
