General Description
The DS3231 is a low-cost, extremely accurate I
2
C real-
time clock (RTC) with an integrated temperature-
compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) and crystal. The
device incorporates a battery input, and maintains accu-
rate timekeeping when main power to the device is inter-
rupted. The integration of the crystal resonator enhances
the long-term accuracy of the device as well as reduces
the piece-part count in a manufacturing line. The DS3231
is available in commercial and industrial temperature
ranges, and is offered in a 16-pin, 300-mil SO package.
The RTC maintains seconds, minutes, hours, day, date,
month, and year information. The date at the end of the
month is automatically adjusted for months with fewer
than 31 days, including corrections for leap year. The
clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format
with an AM/PM indicator. Two programmable time-of-
day alarms and a programmable square-wave output
are provided. Address and data are transferred serially
through an I
2
C bidirectional bus.
A precision temperature-compensated voltage refer-
ence and comparator circuit monitors the status of V
CC
to detect power failures, to provide a reset output, and
to automatically switch to the backup supply when nec-
essary. Additionally, the RST pin is monitored as a
pushbutton input for generating a µP reset.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
