DS3231 RTC Module with EEPROM
Temperature-compensated real-time clock that stays accurate to about a minute a year, plus 4 KB of EEPROM. Keeps time on a coin cell when the power is off – for data loggers, alarms and timer

Description
Microcontrollers lose track of time when they reset. The DS3231 keeps counting seconds, minutes, hours, date, month and year on its own coin cell, and its built-in temperature-compensated crystal makes it far more accurate than the older DS1307.
Features
- DS3231 RTC with integrated TCXO: ±2 ppm from 0 to 40 °C (about ±1 minute per year)
- Two programmable alarms and a square-wave / interrupt output
- Built-in temperature sensor (±3 °C)
- AT24C32 EEPROM – 32 Kbit (4 KB) for settings or logs
- I2C interface: RTC at 0x68, EEPROM at 0x57
- 3.3–5 V supply, CR2032 battery holder
Battery note
Coin cell not included. This common module has a trickle-charge circuit meant for a rechargeable LIR2032. If you use a normal CR2032, remove the small charging resistor (or diode) next to the battery holder – a quick search for 'DS3231 ZS-042 charging resistor' shows which one.
Package includes
1 × DS3231 RTC module (battery not included)
