RTC real-time clock module DS3231SN ChronoDot V2.0 I2C

RTC real-time clock module DS3231SN ChronoDot V2.0 I2C

Oporating Voltage 5.0 V DC.

Battery type required CR1220 battery

The DS3231 has an internal crystal and a switched bank of tuning capacitors. The temperature of the crystal is continuously monitored, and the capacitors are adjusted to maintain a stable frequency. Other RTC solutions may drift minutes per month, especially in extreme temperature ranges...the ChronoDot will drift less than a minute per year. This makes the ChronoDot very well suited for time critical applications that cannot be regularly synchronized to an external clock.

The ChronoDot will plug into a standard solderless breadboard and also has mounting holes for chassis installation.

The I2C interface is very straightforward and virtually identical to the register address, which means that existing code for the Arduino, Basic Stamp, Cubloc, and other controllers should work with no modification.
