DS1302 Real-Time Clock Module (#29125)
The DS1302 Real Time Clock Module provides a DS1302 real-time clock with a 32 kHz crystal and on-
board battery backup, all in a small SIP module that can be easily plugged into a breadboard.
The DS1302 provides seconds, minutes, hours date, day of week and year with leap-year compensation
up to the year 2100. You can use 24-hour mode or 12-hour mode with AM/PM indication and there are
31 bytes of RAM that are also battery-backed.
Give your project the ability to tell time, store time or make time-based decisions with 1 second
resolution in a small, compact form-factor. Easily store settings or parameters using the 31 bytes of
battery-backed RAM.

Quick-Start Circuit
Figure 1: Connecting to a BASIC Stamp 2
The above connection diagram is typical for a BASIC Stamp 2 or Propeller Microcontroller, however if you
are trying to connect to a microcontroller that uses a 4-wire SPI interface then you should follow the
connection diagram below.

Precautions
Because this module contains a lithium coin-cell battery for backup it is important not to enable
the DS1302 trickle-charging circuit. This could damage the battery and/or module.
