Overview
Der RTC 10 Click Board™ ist ein Echtzeituhrmodul mit extrem niedrigem Stromverbrauch, sodass es über einen längeren Zeitraum mit einer einzigen Knopfzellenbatterie verwendet werden kann. Es verfügt über den DS3231M, eine kostengünstige, äußerst genaue I2C-Echtzeituhr (RTC) von Maxim Integrated. Das Gerät verfügt über einen Batterieeingang und hält die Zeit genau, wenn die Hauptstromversorgung des Geräts unterbrochen wird. Die Integration des Resonators für mikroelektromechanische Systeme (MEMS) verbessert die Langzeitgenauigkeit des Geräts und reduziert die Stückzahl in einer Fertigungslinie.
Das RTC 10 Click Board™ wird durch eine mikroSDK-kompatible Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click Board™ ist ein gründlich getestetes Produkt und kann auf einem System verwendet werden, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
Features such as being highly accurate and providing a complete clock calendar funcionality with timekeeping accuracy of ±5ppm (±0.432 Second/Day) from -45°C to +85°C, make the RTC 10 click is a perfect solution for the development of the IoT, wearable and portable applications, logging devices, industrial and health-related time metering applications, and all the other applications that require an accurate RTC for their operation.
How Does The RTC 10 Click Board™ Work?
The RTC 10 Click Board™ is based on the DS3231M, a low-cost, extremely accurate, I2C real-time clock (RTC) from Maxim Integrated. Thanks to its high integration level, it provides high time accuracy, with a very low count of external components required. It has a full RTC function, offering programmable counters, alarms, and an interrupt engine with selectable event reporting sources. The small dimensions of the DS3231M itself, allow it to be used in very space-constrained applications, including wearables, medical equipment, and similar.
In addition to the DS3231M, the RTC 10 Click Board™ is equipped with the button cell battery holder compatible with the 3000TR batteryholder, suitable for 12mm Coin Cell batteries. By utilizing an automatic backup switch, the IC is able to use an external battery power source when there is no power supply on its main power terminals, thus allowing for uninterrupted operation.
The RTC maintains seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The date at the end of the month is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with an AM/PM indicator. Two programmable time-of day alarms and a 1Hz output are provided. Address and data are transferred serially through an I2C bidirectional bus. A precision temperature-compensated voltage reference and comparator circuit monitors the status of VCC to detect power failures, to provide a reset output, and to automatically switch to the backup supply when necessary. Additionally, the RST pin is monitored as a pushbutton input for generating a microprocessor reset and is routed to the RST pin on the mikroBUS™ socket.
The temperature sensor, oscillator, and digital adjustment controller logic form the highly accurate time base. The controller reads the output of the on-board temperature sensor and adjusts the final 1Hz output to maintain the required accuracy. The device is trimmed at the factory to maintain a tight accuracy over the operating temperature range. When the device is powered by VCC, the adjustment occurs once a second. When the device is powered by VBAT, the adjustment occurs once every 10s to conserve power. Adjusting the 1Hz time base less often does not affect the device's long-term timekeeping accuracy. The device also contains an Aging Offset register that allows a constant offset (positive or negative) to be added to the factory-trimmed adjustment value.
The I2C interface is accessible whenever either VCC or VBAT is at a valid level. If a microcontroller connected to the device resets because of a loss of VCC or other event, it is possible that the microcontroller and device's I2C communications could become unsynchronized. e.g., the microcontroller resets while reading data from the device. When the microcontroller resets, the device's I2C interface can be placed into a known state by toggling SCL until SDA is observed to be at a high level. At that point the microcontroller should pull SDA low while SCL is high, generating a START condition.

Software Support
We provide a library for the RTC 10 Click Board™ on our LibStock page, as well as a demo application (example), developed using MikroElektronika compilers. The demo can run on all the main MikroElektronika development boards.
Library Description
The library covers all the necessary functions to control the RTC 10 Click Board™. A library performs a standard I2C interface communication.
Key Functions
void rtc10_setTime( uint8_t timeHours, uint8_t timeMinutes, uint8_t timeSeconds )

- Set date hours, minutes and seconds function.
Example Description
The application is composed of three sections :
- System Initialization - Initializes GPIO, I2C and LOG structures, sets INT pin as input and RST pin as output and start to write log.
