Perfect for\ndata logging, clock setup, NTP servers, time stamps, timers and alarms etc.\nEquipped with a genuine DS3231 RTC, it works great with the Raspberry Pi and\nhas native kernel support. The datasheet for the DS3231 explains that this\npart is an \"Extremely Accurate I²C Integrated RTC\/TCXO\/Crystal\". And hey, it\ndoes exactly what it says on the can! This real-time clock (RTC) is the most\nprecise you can get in a small package with low power consumption. Most RTCs\nuse an external 32kHz timing crystal used to keep the time with low current\ndraw. And that's all well and good, but these crystals have a slight drift,\nespecially when the temperature changes (the temperature changes the\noscillation frequency very, very very slightly, but it adds up!) This RTC is\nin a bold package as the crystal is in the chip. And right next to the\nintegrated crystal there is a temperature sensor. This sensor compensates for\nfrequency changes by adding or removing clock ticks to keep timing on\nschedule. Many \"cheap\" DS3231 RTC boards do not use genuine Maxim DS3231 - you\nwill receive an uncalibrated RTC that does not maintain the specified\ntimekeeping quality. Adafruit purchase these DS3231's from Maxim direct so\nthey know they are 100% genuine. Note: This product does not come with a\nCR1220 button cell battery or Raspberry Pi. Product dimensions: 21.3 x 20.0 x\n13.6 mm.
