Description

DS3231 RTC time module – real time clock

Module with real-time clock and its own battery power supply.

The time module allows you to read the time in the form of hour, minute and second and the date: month day, year.

Product Features:

• DS3231 real-time clock module with battery backup
• Allows you to read the time in the form of hour, minute and second and the date: month day, year.
• The communication interface is the I2C bus (SDA and SCL lines)
• The data refresh rate is 1 Hz (1 second).
• The battery is included permanently mounted, a soldering iron is required to change it
• Available data: Time: hour (AM, PM), minute, second, Date: month, day, year, Exact calendar up to the year 2100
• The module has goldpin leads, allowing it to be connected to any runner kit or dedicated circuit board using available wires.
