RTC DS1307 Module

The DS1307 RTC (Real-Time Clock) Module is an essential electronic component for applications requiring precise time and calendar management. 

Main features

• Clock and Calendar: The DS1307 is a low-power clock/calendar capable of providing information on seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month and year. It automatically adjusts the month-end date for months of less than 31 days, including leap-year corrections.
• I²C communication: the module uses a bidirectional I²C bus to transfer addresses and data, facilitating integration with microcontrollers such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi.
• Non-volatile memory (NVRAM): The DS1307 features 56 bytes of NVRAM memory, enabling non-critical data to be stored even in the event of a power failure.
• Power supply and battery backup: The module operates on a 5V supply voltage and can be powered by a battery backup (typically a 2032 button cell) to maintain time and date in the event of a power failure.
• Time format: The clock can operate in 24-hour or 12-hour formats with AM/PM indicator.

Applications

• Time-Stamped Data Recording: Used in projects measuring physical quantities where time-stamping is crucial, such as environmental data loggers and monitoring systems.
• Industrial Control Systems: Integrated into industrial control systems to synchronize processes and maintain accurate time registers.
• Security Applications: Used in security systems to ensure accurate event logging and connection/disconnection schedules.
• Robotics and IoT projects: Used in robotics projects and IoT applications for synchronization, sensor coordination and navigation tasks.
• Electronic clocks and calendars: Ideal for digital clocks, electronic calendars, alarm clocks and cash registers.

Project examples

• Digital clocks and electronic calendars: Create digital clocks and electronic calendars that display time and date in real time, with alarm and event reminder functions.
• Environmental Data Recording: Use the DS1307 in weather stations to time-stamp measurements of temperature, humidity and other environmental parameters.
• Surveillance and security systems: Integrate the DS1307 into surveillance systems to time-stamp events and video recordings.
• Arduino and Raspberry Pi projects: Use the DS1307 with microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi for a variety of projects, such as data loggers, home control systems and robotics applications.
