Precision RV8803 Real Time Clock Qwiic Board Serving Up Slick Accuracy And Low Power Draw With Factory Calibrated Temperature Control Quick Install Workflow Keeps Your Side Project Running Tight While Saving Juice On The Go
✔️ Features ±1.5 ppm drift, 240nA standby, wide voltage
The SparkFun RV8803 Real Time Clock module is a compact I2C breakout board designed to track accurate time and date data without relying on external chips. Hobbyists and engineers typically mount this single unit inside Arduino projects, weather stations, and remote tracking gear to maintain precise timestamps during power drops or field operations. Its plug-and-play Qwiic cabling eliminates messy soldering while the breadboard-friendly pinouts let you wire it quickly straight into your prototype setup.
✅ Dual Qwiic ports and 2.54 mm header pins for flexible prototyping setups✅ 1.5V to 5.5V operating window delivering 240nA consumption at 3.3 volts
✅ Built-in counters for weekday, date, hours, minutes, and hundredths of seconds
✅ Programmatic clock output pin paired with external event timestamping interrupts
✅ Wide thermal rating supporting continuous operation from minus forty to plus one zero five degrees Celsius
💡 Why pick a precision real time clock module over basic microcontroller timers for rugged outdoor builds
A dedicated timing chip keeps your project on schedule when main processors nap, making it a super handy upgrade for any grounded electronics build.
- Temperature compensated oscillators lock down frequency drift so your uptime logs stay exact without constant manual resyncing
- Dedicated alarm triggers wake up dormant circuitry for scheduled data dumps or sensor sweeps during unattended monitoring runs
- Low quiescent current draws barely scratch battery packs while maintaining solid second-by-second tracking in extreme heat or cold
- Standard i square c wiring routes cleanly through noisy environments without adding interference to sensitive analog front ends
