DS1307 Real Time Clock RTC Module
- DS1307 real-time clock module for date and timekeeping in embedded projects.
- I²C interface for Arduino, ESP, and similar microcontroller boards.
- Battery-backup holder supports time retention during main-power loss (cell sold separately on many kits).
- Useful for data loggers, clocks, and scheduled automation prototypes.
- Module only; host board and CR2032 (or equivalent) backup cell may be required separately.
Product Details
DS1307 Real Time Clock RTC Module
Keep calendar time in microcontroller projects with a DS1307-based RTC breakout over I²C. This listing is for the RTC module only; a host board and backup cell are not included unless explicitly packed with your unit.
What it does
- Provides year/month/day/hour/minute/second timekeeping for embedded firmware.
- Communicates over I²C with common microcontroller libraries.
- Backup-battery holder helps retain time when main power is removed.
- Compact module for breadboard or jumper-wire connection.
Compatibility and setup
- Wire VCC, GND, SDA, and SCL to a 5 V-tolerant I²C bus as required by your board revision.
- Install a compatible coin cell in the holder when battery backup is needed.
- Pull-ups may already be present on the module; avoid duplicate strong pull-ups on short buses.
- Confirm crystal and chip markings if you require a different RTC family (for example DS3231).
Applications
- Data logging with timestamps
- Digital clocks and schedulers
- Automation and timed triggers
- STEM timing and I²C labs
Package includes
- 1 × DS1307 RTC module
- Backup cell may be sold separately
Consult the DS1307 datasheet for absolute ratings and register maps. Verified module details are listed in the Specifications section when present.
