Team,

How easy is it to integrate the BQ32000 into Android/Linux based systems?  Is extensive work needed or is it basically plug and play?

    Hello Gregory,

    The RTC uses I2C communication.  If your system has hardware I2C, then reading and writing to the registers follows standard I2C protocol.  If the system does not have it in hardware, then a software version of I2C can be written.  There are many examples available for interfacing.  

    As far as layout goes, a 4.7K pull up resistors are required on the data, clock and the interrupt, a 32k crystal and a few capacitors are required.  In terms of complexity it is about  3 out of 10.

    Thanks,
