Overview
In this project, we will show you how to display the time and date.
Component Required
- EASY plug control board*1
- EASY plug DS3231 Clock Module*1
- RJ11 cable*1
- USB cable*1
Component Introduction
The DS3231 is a low-cost, extremely accurate I2C real-time clock (RTC) with an integrated temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and crystal.
A real-time clock (RTC) is a computer clock (most often in the form of an integrated circuit) that keeps track of the current time.
It integrated with a battery input, which can maintain accurate timekeeping when power off. The integrated crystal resonator ensures the accuracy of clock. So this RTC solution should be worth to try.
- Temperature range: -40℃ to +85℃
- Timing accuracy: about ± 5ppm
- Output: 1Hz and 32.768kHz
- High speed (400kHz), I2C serial bus
- Supply voltage: 3.3V to 5.5V
- Output Level: TTL level
Connect It Up
