Pico RTC HAT

Pico RTC HAT is a Real-Time clock expansion module with the powerful IC DS3231, backup battery holder, operating voltage of 3.3 V, and Fast (400kHz) I2C Interface that measures the time which aligns the time of the device with the “Real-Time”. It is developed with the standard Raspberry Pi Pico header that supports the Raspberry Pi Pico series to enhance its efficiency at a low cost.

Features:

• High-Precision Timekeeping: The DS3231 RTC IC provides precise time measurements, ensuring synchronization with real-world time.
• Backup Battery Support: Equipped with a backup battery holder, the Pico RTC HAT maintains timekeeping during power outages.
• I2C Interface: Operates over a fast 400kHz I2C interface, facilitating efficient communication with the Raspberry Pi Pico.
• Standard Header Compatibility: Designed with the standard Raspberry Pi Pico header, it seamlessly integrates with the Pico series, enhancing functionality without significant cost.

Specifications:

• Operating Voltage: 3.3V
• Communication Interface: I2C (SDA connected to GP6, SCL connected to GP7 on the Pico)
• Backup Battery: Supports a backup battery to maintain timekeeping during power loss.
