Overview

The DS3231MPMB1# is a peripheral module that provides a complete hardware solution for adding a high-accuracy real-time clock (RTC) to an existing development system. It features the DS3231M, an extremely accurate I2C RTC with an integrated MEMS resonator that maintains timing within +/-5ppm over the full -40C to +85C temperature range. This module is designed for quick prototyping using a 6-pin Pmod-compatible connector and includes a secondary header for daisy-chaining other I2C devices.

Why Choose This Part

The module eliminates the need for external crystal tuning by utilizing an integrated MEMS resonator, ensuring high accuracy without the footprint of a traditional crystal. It operates over a wide voltage range of 2.3V to 3.6V and provides a secondary I2C header for easy bus expansion.

Applications

Industrial Timekeeping
Providing reliable timestamping for data loggers and industrial controllers operating in harsh temperature environments.
Power-Grid Telemetry
Ensuring precise synchronization of events in utility monitoring equipment where drift must be minimized.
Rapid Prototyping
Adding RTC functionality to FPGA or MCU development boards through a standard Pmod-compatible interface.

Getting Started

Connect the module to any Pmod-compatible host board using the I2C interface and 6-pin header. Developers can utilize provided C-code examples to initialize the RTC and read the digital temperature sensor, which offers +/-3C accuracy. Ensure the host VDD is within the 2.3V to 3.6V range before powering the module.
