RTC-DS1302 Module

Introduction

DS1302 is a trickle charging clock chip, launched by DALLAS in America. With a built-in real-time clock/calendar and a 31-byte static RAM, it can communicate with MCU through simple serial interfaces. The real-time clock/calendar circuit provides information about second, minute, hour, day, week, month, and year. DS1302 can automatically adjust the number of days per month and days in leap year. You can determine to use a 24-hour or 12-hour system by AM/PM selection. It can simply communicate with MCU in synchronous serial way and only needs to use three interface cables: Reset (RST) cable, I/O data (SDA) cable and serial clock (SCL) cable.
