Alternatives to Analog Devices DS1602S

Analog Devices DS1602S and its qualified second sources, compared on form/fit/function, stock, lifecycle and price — the same checks Parter runs inside a BOM.

FFF CompatibilityCompletely different pinout (uses I2C SCL/SDA instead of 3-wire serial) and narrower SOIC-8 footprint (150 mils vs 208 mils).Both are 8-pin surface mount SOIC packages, but DS1682S+ is a narrow-body SOIC (150 mils width) while DS1602S is a wide-body SOIC (208 mils width).Requires software rewrite to communicate via I2C rather than the proprietary 3-wire serial interface, and operates off main VCC with EEPROM logging instead of battery-backed live clock counting.Completely different pin assignments and utilizes a narrower 150 mil SOIC-8 footprint instead of the 208 mil footprint.Uses an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package, but has a narrower body width of 150 mils compared to 208 mils.Functionally serves as a Clock/Calendar RTC rather than a hardware binary counter, meaning elapsed-time tracking must be calculated in MCU firmware from BCD calendar registers.
AI Summary

DS1602S by Analog Devices: Real Time Clock (RTC) IC Elapsed Time Counter 3-Wire Serial 8-SOIC (0.209", 5.30mm Width).

This is the manufacturer-recommended replacement for total elapsed-time recording. It transitions the design from a 3-wire serial interface to I2C, offering robust nonvolatile EEPROM recording for events, but requires physical PCB footprint adjustments and code modifications.

  • Manufacturer-recommended replacement for elapsed time counting applications
  • Features built-in 10-byte user EEPROM for data logging
  • Active lifecycle status ensuring long-term availability
  • Requires redesigning the interface from 3-wire serial to I2C
  • Does not support a backup battery (relies on EEPROM instead)

If preserving a 3-wire interface protocol is a priority, the DS1302Z+ is a viable clock/calendar alternative. Since it does not increment elapsed time in hardware, the host microcontroller must convert the BCD calendar data into elapsed seconds, and the board layout must be updated for the narrower footprint.

  • Retains the 3-wire serial interface style of the DS1602S
  • Allows direct battery backup with trickle-charging function
  • Low timekeeping current consumption (0.3µA to 1µA)
  • Requires converting BCD clock/calendar data to elapsed binary seconds in software
  • Requires PCB layout changes due to the narrower package body

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. All your BOM, at once

    Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.

  2. Hear about problems before they hit production

    Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.

  3. Qualified replacements in minutes, not days

    Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. The Analog Devices DS1602S is marked obsolete, so the manufacturer has discontinued it and any remaining supply is limited to distributor stock. The qualified second sources on this page are active parts you can design in today.
