Real Time Clock(DS1307) with AVR

    Basics

    The Real time clock DS1307 IC basically is stand alone time clock. Well, basically we can use a micrcontroller to keep time, but the value would go off as soon as it is powered off.

    The RTC DS1307 is a handy solution to keep time all the way, when it is powered by a coin cell.

    It is uses I²C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol, referred to as I-squared-C, I-two-C, or IIC for communication with the micrcontroller.Check the basics of I2C here, if are not familiar with it.
