The DS3231 is a serial RTC driven by a temperature-
compensated 32kHz crystal oscillator. The TCXO pro-
vides a stable and accurate reference clock, and
maintains the RTC to within ±2 minutes per year accu-
racy from -40°C to +85°C. The TCXO frequency output
is available at the 32kHz pin. The RTC is a low-power
clock/calendar with two programmable time-of-day
alarms and a programmable square-wave output. The
INT/SQW provides either an interrupt signal due to
alarm conditions or a square-wave output. The clock/cal-
endar provides 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

on either power supply. It may be left open if not used.
DC Power Pin for Primary Power Supply. This pin should be decoupled using a 0.1μF to 1.0μF capacitor.
If not used, connect to ground.
Active-Low Interrupt or Square-Wave Output. This open-drain pin requires an external pullup resistor
connected to a supply at 5.5V or less. This multifunction pin is determined by the state of the INTCN bit in
the Control Register (0Eh). When INTCN is set to logic 0, this pin outputs a square wave and its frequency
is determined by RS2 and RS1 bits. When INTCN is set to logic 1, then a match between the timekeeping
registers and either of the alarm registers activates the

functional groups: TCXO, power control, pushbutton
function, and RTC. Their operations are described sep-
arately in the following sections.
