DS3231 RTC Real Time Clock Module

The DS3231 RTC Real Time Clock Module is a highly accurate and reliable real-time clock (RTC) designed to provide precise timekeeping for your embedded systems. Based on the DS3231 chip, this module is ideal for applications that require time tracking, including data logging, time-based control systems, alarms, and scheduling tasks in IoT, robotics, and home automation projects. The DS3231 module incorporates a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) to ensure consistent timekeeping accuracy, even under varying environmental conditions.

This RTC module communicates with microcontrollers such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi through the I2C interface, making it easy to integrate into your existing projects. It comes with an integrated coin cell battery that ensures continued timekeeping even when the system is powered off. The DS3231 also features a built-in alarm function, enabling you to trigger actions based on specific time intervals.
