This real-time clock module (RTC) uses the DS3231 chip that integrates a crystal resonator and a temperature compensator, which improves the long-term accuracy of the module. In the range of -40°C to +85°C, the accuracy of DS3231 remains at ±3.5ppm (±0.3024 seconds/day).
The device incorporates a battery input, and maintains high precision timing when main power to the device is interrupted. The RTC provides information of seconds, minutes, hours, week, day, month and year, and it can automatically adjust the date at the end of the month, including corrections for leap year. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with AM/PM indicator. Two programmable time-of-day alarms and a programmable square-wave output are provided. In addition, the RST pin can be used as a push-button input for microprocessor reset.
NOTE: Due to the latest air cargo regulations, the transport audit of special items such as batteries, magnets and liquids will become very strict, so this RTC module does not come with batteries anymore, please buy them locally. The button cell battery model that goes with the module is CR1220.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- I2C address
- An I2C address is the number a device uses so a microcontroller can tell it apart from other devices on the same I2C bus. It matters because two devices with the same fixed address may conflict if used together.
- RST
- Short for reset, a control pin used to restart or initialise a device from a microcontroller. It matters because this sensor requires the RST pin to be connected for some communication setups.
- RTC
- A Real-Time Clock keeps track of time even when the main processor is asleep or powered down, usually with a small backup battery. It matters for data logging and tracking projects that need accurate timestamps.
- SRAM
- Fast temporary memory used by a processor while a program is running. More SRAM helps with projects that handle larger data buffers, networking, displays, or more complex code.
