DS1307 DIP

The DS1307 is a popular real-time clock (RTC) integrated circuit (IC) manufactured by Maxim Integrated. The “DIP” in DS1307 DIP refers to the package type, which stands for Dual Inline Package. Here are some details about the DS1307 DIP:

Functionality: The DS1307 DIP is primarily used as a real-time clock IC. It keeps track of time, including seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year, even when the power is turned off. It also provides functions for setting alarms and generating square wave outputs.

Communication: The DS1307 DIP communicates with an external microcontroller or host device using the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol. It has a 2-wire serial interface, consisting of a data line (SDA) and a clock line (SCL), which enables data transfer between the DS1307 and the controlling device.

Accuracy: The DS1307 DIP has a built-in 32.768 kHz quartz crystal oscillator, which ensures accurate timekeeping. It compensates for temperature variations to maintain precise timekeeping over a wide operating temperature range.

Battery Backup: To retain timekeeping during power outages or when the main power supply is disconnected, the DS1307 DIP has a backup power input (VBAT) that allows connection to an external battery, typically a coin-cell battery.

Addressing: The DS1307 DIP has a unique 7-bit address (0x68) on the I2C bus, allowing multiple devices to be connected to the same bus.

Packaging: The DS1307 DIP is available in a 16-pin DIP package, which is a through-hole package type commonly used for easy soldering onto a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

The DS1307 DIP is widely used in various applications that require accurate timekeeping, such as electronic devices, data loggers, timers, alarm systems, and more. It is a versatile and reliable real-time clock IC that provides essential timekeeping functionality for many electronic projects.
