Description
The DS3231 High Precision RTC Clock Module for Raspberry Pi is a low-cost, extremely accurate I2C real-time clock (RTC) with an integrated temperature compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and crystal. The device incorporates a battery input, and maintains accurate timekeeping when main power to the device is interrupted. The integration of the crystal resonator enhances the long-term accuracy of the device as well as reduces the piece-part count in a manufacturing line. The RTC maintains seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information.
Description
- Battery Backup Input for Continuous Timekeeping
- Low-Power Consumption
- Two Time-of-Day Alarms
- Fast (400kHz) I2C Interface
The date at the end of the month is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator. Two programmable time-of day alarms and a programmable square-wave output are provided. Address and data are transferred serially through an I2C bidirectional bus.
