Check the availability and lifecycle status of this part. Report on current stock levels from major distributors, pricing tiers, lifecycle status (active, NRND, obsolete), and lead times. If the part has availability concerns, suggest pin-compatible alternatives.

I can’t check live distributor availability from here because execution/research access is unavailable in this session.
Current project context shows this is a generic capacitor component, not a specific manufacturer part number. For availability/lifecycle reporting, I need the exact capacitor details, ideally:
  • Manufacturer part number
  • Capacitance value
  • Voltage rating
  • Dielectric/type, e.g. X7R, C0G, aluminum electrolytic
  • Package/footprint, e.g. 0402, 0603, 0805, radial TH
  • Tolerance
  • Polarized or non-polarized
What remains to be done once access/details are available:
  1. Identify the exact MPN represented by the generic capacitor.
  2. Check major distributors such as Digi-Key, Mouser, Arrow, Newark, TME, and LCSC.
  3. Report:
    • Current stock levels
    • Pricing tiers
    • Minimum order quantity / packaging
    • Manufacturer lifecycle status
    • Distributor lead times
  4. Flag availability risks.
  5. Suggest pin-compatible alternatives with the same footprint, capacitance, voltage rating, dielectric/type, and tolerance where possible.
If you provide the exact MPN or capacitor parameters, the next step is to run the distributor/lifecycle check against that specific part.

10-Year RTC/Timer IC Shortlist
Requirement recap
  • Battery: 4.5 V lithium manganese dioxide pack
  • Load switch current: 500 mA handled by separate high-side MOSFET/load switch, not by the RTC
  • Timer: deactivate permanently after ~10 years from activation
  • Accuracy: 80% required, so RTC-grade accuracy is more than sufficient
  • Must survive brownout/battery replacement/storage before activation
  • OFF must be irreversible: RTC alarm should trigger a one-time disable element such as fuse/OTP/irreversible latch
Best candidates

RankPartFlux library statusWhy suitableKey datasheet specsCaveats
1Micro Crystal RV-3028-C7Found in Flux: 8bab4f6a-7a1a-4cdd-8a28-be351baf15a2Best fit for 4.5 V battery because it supports up to 5.5 V directly and has very low current.1.1–5.5 V timekeeping supply, 45 nA typ / 60 nA max at 3 V, factory calibrated ±1 ppm at 25°C, INT output, alarm/timer/event timestamp, automatic backup switchover/trickle charger.Alarm calendar implementation must be configured carefully for a 10-year date match; verify register year range and activation-date programming in firmware/test fixture.
2NXP PCF85263A / PCF85263ATLFound in Flux: 6b38b57f-b8c1-40e6-922f-e46e44f2c9c1Good 5.5 V-capable RTC with alarms and interrupt outputs; simpler supply interface for 4.5 V systems.0.9–5.5 V clock operation, I2C active to 5.5 V, typ ~0.28 µA at 3 V, two alarms, two independent interrupt signals, battery switch-over, timestamp input.Higher current than RV-3028-C7; still likely acceptable for many 10-year Li-MnO2 budgets, but confirm pack capacity/self-discharge budget.
3Abracon AB1805-T3Found in Flux: e627e5a3-36ac-4dd3-ae86-7b4efb99e357Ultra-low current and strong power-management features; good if you can power it from a regulated ≤3.6 V always-on rail.1.5–3.6 V VCC, 1.4–3.6 V VBAT retention, 14 nA typ RC / 55 nA typ crystal at 3 V, alarm capability on all counters, multiple open-drain interrupt outputs, reset/brownout/power-control features.Not directly compatible with 4.5 V supply; needs a tiny always-on regulator or diode/drop arrangement and level compatibility checks.
4Micro Crystal RV-3032-C7Not found in Flux libraryTemperature-compensated RTC option with alarm/timer and 5.5 V support.Search results indicate 1.3–5.5 V operation, 160 nA typ at 3 V, INT open-drain, alarm/timer functions.Not currently available in Flux library from the search; use only if TCXO-level temperature compensation is needed.
Recommendation
Use RV-3028-C7 as the default RTC/timer IC for this design. It directly supports the 4.5 V battery domain, has the lowest current among 5.5 V-capable options found, provides an INT alarm output, and is already available in the Flux library.
For irreversible OFF, do not rely on the RTC alone. Use the RTC alarm/INT output to trigger a one-time hardware disable path:
Text
ACTIVATE switch -> set ON latch + program RTC expiry date
DEACTIVATE switch -> irreversible fuse/OTP disable -> high-side switch forced OFF
RTC 10-year alarm INT -> irreversible fuse/OTP disable -> high-side switch forced OFF
Notes on 10-year timing
  • RTC/calendar alarms are far more practical than RC/comparator timing over 10 years.
  • A ±1 ppm RTC error is roughly ±5.3 minutes/year, far better than the requested 80% accuracy.
  • Validate firmware/test-fixture behavior for leap years, activation date storage, and the exact year/date alarm rollover.
  • The irreversible OFF state should be latched in hardware so brownout, battery replacement, or firmware resets cannot re-enable the load.
