The Raspberry Pi is a great low cost computer with thousands of different uses but one thing it does not come with is a real-time clock. This means that every time you switch off your Raspberry Pi it forgets what the time is and you have to manually set it again next time you switch your Raspberry Pi on.
This shield includes an ultra low powered and super accurate RTC combined with a uSD Card reader and 2x STEMMA/QT connectors with separate IO, for two I2C channels, or 1x I2C and 1x UART.

The RTC module is a member of Twig. It is based on the clock chip DS1307 which supports the I2C protocol. It uses a Lithium cell battery (CR1225). The...
This RTC module is specifically designed for the Raspberry Pi. It communicates with Raspberry Pi through I2C bus and includes a Maxim DS1307 on the board to keep a real time clock for a long time after the Pi has powered down. Just set a serial port, and you have a convenient way of online debugging using TTL. Supports Raspberry Pi B/A+/B+/2 model B/3 model B.
Here is a real time clock based on the DS3234 Real Time Clock IC. The DS3234 is a low-cost, extremely accurate SPI bus real-time clock with an integrated temperature-compensated crystal oscillator and crystal.
The DS1307 Real Time Clock developed by one of our designers: Waiman. The module comes fully assembled and pre-programmed with the current time (ok, so it's our current time - MST).
The datasheet for the DS3231 explains that this part is an "Extremely Accurate I²C-Integrated RTC/TCXO/Crystal". And, hey, it does exactly what it says on the tin!...
An ultra-low-power ( ~100 nA), highly accurate real-time clock breakout. The RV3028 RTC breakout is perfect for adding timekeeping to your project and, thanks to the tiny on-board battery, it'll keep time when your device is powered off. Like all the best timepieces, it's Swiss-made!
The real-time clock RTC breakout module employs the SD3031 chip with an integrated crystal oscillator and temperature compensator and a built-in 70-byte...
The datasheet for the DS3231 explains that this part is an "Extremely Accurate I²C-Integrated RTC/TCXO/Crystal". And, hey, it does exactly what it says on the tin! This Real Time Clock (RTC) is the most precise you can get in a small, low-power package.
The Pico-RTC-DS3231 is a RTC expansion module specialized for Raspberry Pi Pico. It incorporates high precision RTC chip DS3231 and uses I2C bus for communication. More external sensors are allowed to be connected thanks to the stackable design.
The RTC module is specifically designed for Raspberry Pi. It communicated with Raspberry Pi through I2C bus. There is a Maxim DS1307 and CR1220 button...
The module combines GNSS positioning and RTC functionality. Provides precise longitude, latitude, and altitude data. Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, and...
