An RTC Module or a Real Time Clock Module helps a system keep track of current time (hour, minutes and seconds). It automatically increments the time without any help from the host (microcontroller). Other benefit is that it has a backup power supply from a small coin cell that help it maintain the time in absence of power. It needs very small power in backup mode so that the coin cell last for years!
One such RTC IC is DS1307. It communicates with the host using I2C serial interface. We have put all the required components in one PCB to make a neat module that we can hook up to our MCUs like PIC or AVR. After the experiment you can put the module safely in your drawer, bring it out after an year and still it will give you the correct time!

Connection with MCU
The SCL line of RTC Module will be connected to SCL line of MCU similarly the SDA line will be connected to the MCU’s SDA line. The RTC Module should be powered from the microcontroller development board. Most of our boards have extra 5v output points. Please see their documentation for location of these pins.

Hi
I am realy happy to see this,
I hope to see how to configure the RTC in C.
hi,
I want to interface RTC module DS1307 to 89v51rd2.
I have tried but unable to access the module.
Please,give me the c-code for that
Hello Avinash,
I tried to use isl1208 RTC with at91sam7s256 ,i2c is working fine i am able to read and write isl1208 register.But i am having problem in its initialization.Can you guide me if you have some idea about isl1208 rtc.
yes I can guide if you can pay my fees.
@Avinash How much you want ?
standard US$100 per hour.
I did it myself , its working, so a person who get US3$ per hour did this job.
🙂 stay greedy…

Why the Basic programming language binding
Nmyzaryd project
I am more to external website
Thank you
If you have a basic project again
my simulation is fine but the clock of lcd display is slower than the real seconds…it takes about 80 sec to complete a real 1 minute…what is wrong in my programm?? plzz help!!
