About this item
🕒 DS3231 High Precision RTC Clock Module
💡 Temperature-Compensated I²C Real-Time Clock
The DS3231 offers an ultra-precise real-time clock with integrated crystal and temperature sensor. Its built-in battery backup ensures timekeeping continues during power outages, and it features alarms, square-wave output, and internal registers accessible over I²C.
🛡️ Built-In Features & Reliability
- 🔋 CR2032/CR1220 battery backup support
- 🌡️ Integrated temperature sensor (±3°C accuracy)
- 🔄 Temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO)
- ⏱️ Two programmable time alarms
- 📏 Square wave output at 1Hz, 4kHz, 8kHz, or 32kHz
📦 Compact & Versatile
The DS3231 module is ideal for any project requiring date and time — from simple clocks to complex data loggers. It connects easily via I2C and fits well with Arduino, ESP32, STM32, and Raspberry Pi systems.
🛠️ Applications
- 📆 Clocks and calendar displays
- 🗄️ Data loggers and event trackers
- 🔔 Alarm systems and time scheduling
