SB COMPONENTS USB RTC Module for Raspberry Pi

Add precise and reliable timekeeping to your Raspberry Pi projects with the SB COMPONENTS USB RTC Module. This sophisticated adaptor incorporates a high-precision DS3231 Real-Time Clock (RTC) integrated circuit, ensuring your system maintains accurate time even when disconnected from a network. The module is an essential accessory for any Raspberry Pi used in data logging, automation, or standalone applications where consistent timekeeping is critical.

The core of the module is the DS3231 RTC IC, renowned for its exceptional accuracy. It is backed by a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO), which automatically adjusts for temperature variations to provide reliable and stable timekeeping. The RTC comprehensively stores time and date data, including seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year, along with internal temperature readings.

Designed for seamless integration, the module features an integrated USB to UART/I2C converter, offering effective compatibility and easy connection to your Raspberry Pi's USB port. It utilises a fast 400kHz I2C interface for efficient communication and boasts low power consumption, making it suitable for energy-conscious projects. A built-in CR1220 battery slot provides a backup power function, allowing the RTC to maintain time and settings during main power outages (please note, the backup battery is not included).
