DS3231 Precision RTC FeatherWing - RTC Add-on For Feather Boards

OverviewPinoutWiringRelated groups
DS3231 Precision RTC FeatherWing - RTC Add-on For Feather Boards — Adafruit — 3028

A Feather board without ambition is a Feather board without FeatherWings! This is the DS3231 Precision RTC FeatherWing: it adds an extremely accurate I2C-integrated Real Time Clock (RTC) with a Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (TCXO) to any Feather main board.

Pinout

  • 3.3V

    Board power input for the RTC FeatherWing. Adafruit Learn states the bottom-row 3.3V pin is used to power the RTC and take load off the coin cell battery.

    Type · powerVoltage · 3.3V
  • GND

    Ground reference for the RTC FeatherWing. Adafruit Learn states the bottom-row GND pin is used with 3.3V to power the RTC.

    Type · groundVoltage · 0V
  • SCL

    I2C clock pin for talking to the DS3231 RTC; Adafruit Learn states it has a 10K pullup resistor to 3.3V.

  • SDA

    I2C data pin for talking to the DS3231 RTC; Adafruit Learn states it has a 10K pullup resistor to 3.3V.

  • SQW

    Optional square-wave or interrupt output. Adafruit Learn states SQW is open-drain and needs a pullup to read from a microcontroller pin.
