DS3231 RTC Real Time Clock Module (High Precision I2C RTC Module with Battery Backup)
The DS3231 RTC Module is a high-precision real-time clock module designed to provide accurate time and calendar functions for embedded systems and microcontroller projects. Based on the DS3231 temperature-compensated real-time clock (RTC) IC, it features an integrated crystal oscillator and digital temperature compensation for exceptional long-term accuracy. The module communicates via the I2C interface and includes a backup battery holder to maintain time and date information during power interruptions. It is ideal for Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, Raspberry Pi, data logging, automation, IoT, and clock applications.
