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 data logging, 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 Adafruit's RTC library or with a Raspberry Pi (or similar single board Linux computer)

PCB & header are included
Plugs into any breadboard or you can use wires
Two mounting holes
Will keep time for 5 years or more

The PCF8523 is simple and inexpensive but not a high precision device. It may lose or gain up to 2 seconds a day. For a high-precision, temperature compensated alternative, please check out the DS3231 precision RTC. If you need a DS1307 for compatibility reasons, check out Adafruit's DS1307 RTC breakout
