DS1307 Timer RTC Module
Real-Time Clock (RTC): The DS1307 module can accurately keep track of time in hours, minutes, seconds, and dates (day, month, year). It provides reliable timekeeping even in the absence of power, thanks to its built-in backup battery.
Battery Backup: The module typically includes a coin cell battery holder (e.g., CR2032) to maintain timekeeping when the primary power source is disconnected.
Digital Interface: It communicates with microcontrollers and other digital devices using a simple I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) interface, making it easy to interface with popular platforms like Arduino.
Serial Communication: The DS1307 module supports I2C communication, allowing for easy configuration and reading of time and date information.
Adjustable Clock Frequency: Some modules allow for clock frequency adjustment, which can be useful for fine-tuning the timekeeping accuracy.
Alarm Functionality: The DS1307 can be configured to trigger alarms at specific times or dates. This feature is useful for applications requiring timed events or notifications.
Square Wave Output: The module can generate a square wave output signal with a selectable frequency (e.g., 1Hz, 4.096kHz, 8.192kHz). This output can be used as a clock signal or for other timing purposes.
