Breakout Boards / Clocks

The datasheet for the DS3231 explains that this part is an "Extremely Accurate I²C-Integrated RTC/TCXO/Crystal". And, hey, it does exactly what it says on the tin! This Real Time Clock (RTC) is the most precise you can get in a small, low-power package. We've had a breakout board version of this RTC for a while, but we want to make it even easier for folks to...

This is a great battery-backed real time clock (RTC) that allows your microcontroller project to keep track of time even if it is reprogrammed, or if the power is lost. Perfect for datalogging, clock-building, time stamping, timers and alarms, etc. The DS1307 is the most popular RTC - but it requires 5V power to work (although we've used it with 5V power and 3.3V...

This is a great battery-backed real time clock (RTC) that allows your microcontroller project to keep track of time even if it is reprogrammed, or if the power is lost. Perfect for datalogging, clock-building, time stamping, timers and alarms, etc. Equipped with PCF8523 RTC - it can run from 3.3V or 5V power & logic! Works great with an Arduino using our RTC...

The datasheet for the DS3231 explains that this part is an "Extremely Accurate I²C-Integrated RTC/TCXO/Crystal". And, hey, it does exactly what it says on the tin! This Real Time Clock (RTC) is the most precise you can get in a small, low power package. Most RTCs use an external 32kHz timing crystal that is used to keep time with low current draw. And that's all...

This is the best battery-backed real time clock (RTC) you can get that allows your Raspberry Pi project to keep track of time if the power is lost. Perfect for data-logging, clock-building, NTP servers, time-stamping, timers and alarms, etc. Equipped with a genuine DS3231 RTC, it works great with the Raspberry Pi and has native kernel support. The datasheet for the...

Works perfectly with any Raspberry Pi (or similar single...

Witty Pi is an add-on board that adds real time clock and power management to your Raspberry Pi. It can define your Raspberry Pi’s ON/OFF sequence and significantly reduce energy use. Witty Pi 4 L3V7 is the new member of the fourth generation of Witty Pi, and it is designed to work with 3.7V Lithium (ion or polymer) battery (that’s what L3V7 stands for)...

Never hunt around for another crystal again, with the Si5351A clock generator breakout from Adafruit! This chip has a precision 25MHz crystal reference and internal PLL and dividers so it can generate just about any frequency, from Best of all, we even have a great tutorial and library to get you started! Our code is designed for use with the Arduino microcontroller...

Never hunt around for another crystal again, with the Si5351A clock generator breakout from Adafruit! This chip has a precision 25MHz crystal reference and internal PLL and dividers so it can generate just about any frequency, from optional edge-launch SMA connector for output #1. (If you need SMA-connector outputs for all three ports, check out the non-QT breakout...

Witty Pi 4 is an add-on board that adds real-time clock and power management to your Raspberry Pi. It can define your Raspberry Pi’s ON/OFF sequence and significantly reduce energy usage. Witty Pi 4 is the fourth generation of Witty Pi, and it has these hardware resources onboard: Factory calibrated and temperature compensated real-time clock with ±2ppm...

Witty Pi 4 Mini is an add-on board that adds real time clock (RTC) and power management to your Raspberry Pi. It can define your Raspberry Pi’s ON/OFF sequence, and significantly reduce the energy usage. Witty Pi 4 Mini is the fourth generation of Witty Pi and it has these hardware resources onboard: Factory calibrated and temperature compensated realtime clock...

The ChronoDot V3 is the latest version of macetech’s popular ChronoDot line of products. Designed during the Great Chip Shortage, it uses the newly-released MAX31328 temperature-compensated real-time clock chip. However, it remains pin- and code-compatible with the older DS3231-based ChronoDots, and has the same clock accuracy and drift specifications. The...

The Adafruit S-35710 Wake Up Timer is a low power 'watchdog timer' chip that can be programmed to alert with a digitally-configurable alarm from 1 second up to 194 days, thanks to a 24-bit second counter. It's an interesting alternative to a real time clock or internal sleep timer and might be useful for some ultra-low-power projects that want to have a separate (and...

We've upgraded this RTC breakout and made it even easier to use! Now available as a fully assembled board, it has the same components, chip, size, etc but you don't have to put it together. It's also less expensive! Check out the Assembled DS1307 Breakout here! This is a great battery-backed real time clock (RTC) that allows your microcontroller project to keep track...
