Jim, there is a class of chips that could possibly be "date sensitive" without a provision to input a date if the chip loses power. I am referring to EEPROMs (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory). However, I am not sure if anyone has ever burned a calendar routine into an EEPROM. Perhaps a more technologically advanced reader could comment?
