RV3028 Real-Time Clock (RTC) Breakout

The RV3028 Real-Time Clock (RTC) Breakout is an ultra-low-power (~100 nA), highly accurate Swiss-made RTC perfect for adding timekeeping functionality to your projects. Featuring an onboard tiny silver oxide battery, it keeps time even when your device is powered off, ensuring continuous and reliable time maintenance.

The breakout board offers a factory-calibrated RTC with an accuracy of ±1 second drift per million seconds at 25°C, surpassing typical digital watches. It supports both 3.3V and 5V systems with an I2C interface, reverse polarity protection, and a Raspberry Pi-compatible pinout. This module is compatible with all 40-pin Raspberry Pi models, Arduino, and Raspberry Pi Pico boards.
