The Microduino RTC Module is a real time clock module based on NXP CMOS PCF8563. RTC module uses TWI/I2C interface for communication. Data can be backed up with the addtional AT24c32 EEPROM. With an onboard capacitor, the module can keep timing for minutes after power-off since the PCF8563 adopts an external crystal and a capacitor as well as an interrupt input which can trigger the interruption periodically.

Specification
-
Clock chip: PCF8563;
-
Low-power CMOS real-time clock/calendar chip;
-
Provide a programmable clock output, an interrupt output and a brown-out detector. All the addresses and data will have a serial transmission through the I2C bus interface;
-
With the maximum bus speed of 400Kbits/s, the embedded word address register will generate increment automatically after reading and writing data every time.
-
EEPROM chip: AT24C32
-
Provide 32,768 EPROM serial power, which can be organized with a length of 4096 words × 8-bit;
-
Cascade feature allows AT24C32 to articulate eight devices on the same I2C bug, to have the replication cycle of millions lives and saved the data to 100 years with a write-protect function.
-
Super capacitor: XH414
-
Provide a power-down timing function in a time slot.
