La carte RTC 16 Click Board™ est une carte complémentaire compacte qui permet de conserver l'heure exacte d'une journée. Cette carte est équipée de la BU9873, une horloge CMOS en temps réel avec fonction de génération d'interruption intégrée de Rohm Semiconductors. La BU9873 fournit l'année, le mois, le jour, le jour de la semaine, les heures, les minutes et les secondes sur la base d'un cristal de quartz de 32,768 kHz. Cette RTC est connectée au MCU via une interface I2C et configurée pour transmettre en série les données de temps et de calendrier. Elle dispose également d'une fonction d'alarme qui envoie un signal d'interruption au MCU lorsque le jour de la semaine, l'heure ou la minute correspond à l'heure prédéfinie. Cette carte Click board™ convient à diverses applications de chronométrage, notamment les alarmes quotidiennes, les applications de mesure et d'autres applications nécessitant une RTC précise pour leur fonctionnement.
La carte RTC 16 Click Board™ est prise en charge par une bibliothèque compatible mikroSDK, qui comprend des fonctions qui simplifient le développement logiciel. Cette carte Click Board™ est livrée sous la forme d'un produit entièrement testé, prêt à être utilisé sur un système équipé du socket mikroBUS™.
How Does The RTC 16 Click Board™ Work?
The RTC 16 Click Board™ is based on the BU9873, an I2C configurable real-time clock/calendar optimized for low power operations from Rohm Semiconductors. The BU9873 is configured to perform the serial transmission of calendar and time data to the MCU and comes with an integrated interrupt generation function. It also contains a built-in high-precision oscillation adjustment circuit which enables the adjustment of time counts with a digital method and correct deviations in the oscillation frequency of the crystal oscillator. This RTC is also characterized by an automatic leap year recognition until the future 2099 year.
The RTC 16 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings, supporting a Fast Mode operation up to 400kHz. An alarm and interrupt function is also available that outputs an interrupt signal to the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket when the day of the week, hour, or minute matches with the preset time. An alarm may be selectable between ON and OFF for each day of the week, allowing outputting warning every day or on a specific day indicated by a red LED marked as ALARM. Besides, the RTC 16 Click also has an onboard header labelled CLKOUT, which provides clock pulses of 32kHz.
The most common RTC configuration, like this one, is a battery-backed up, which maintains time and continues its work without interruption in the event of a power failure. That's why, in addition to the BU9873, the RTC 16 Click is equipped with a button cell battery holder compatible with the 3000TR battery holder, suitable for 12mm Coin Cell batteries.
The RTC 16 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.

Key functions
-
rtc16_set_time
This function sets the starting time values - second, minute and hour. -
rtc16_read_time
This function reads the current time values - second, minute and hour. -
