I want to use Real time counter of this chip for time keeping just like external RTC. Can you tell how much drift my system will get in time ? We are using external LF crystal.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;You can calculate the drift using the crystal&amp;rsquo;s frequency tolerance / ppm value. This value can be found in the datasheet for the crystal you are using. You can then use calculators &lt;a href="https://www.maximintegrated.com/en/design/tools/calculators/product-design/rtc.cfm"&gt;like on this site&lt;/a&gt; to find the drift in seconds per day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
