DS1307 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power, full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data are transferred serially through an I2C, bidirectional bus. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, days, dates, months, and year information. The end of the month date is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year. A CR2032 battery can be used to power this module. The CR2032 lithium coin cell battery will ensure that in case of a power loss the module can be restarted from its last known state
DS1307 operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with AM/PM indicator. The DS1307 has a built-in power-sense circuit that detects power failures and automatically switches to the backup supply. Timekeeping operation continues while the part operates from the backup supply. DS1307 RTC module houses all onboard components necessary for the proper operation of a DS3107 chip. Furthermore, it also has a holder for a 20mm 3V lithium coin battery.
