Development and Programing of LCD Digital Clock with “RTC - Real Time Clock Module”

Abstract

In the digital era, precise timekeeping is critical across a large variety of applications, from personal devices and hobby electronics to industrial systems. This article presents the development and programming of a digital clock using a Real-Time Clock (RTC) module, a core component that ensures accurate time maintenance even if the device in which it is used is not connected to the power source.
My research focuses on the integration of the RTC module using a microcontroller, emphasizing on the reliability of timekeeping provided by this hardware. My article can serve as a guide for hobbyists and enthusiasts looking to create their own digital clocks. It’s also useful for students engaged in electronics and programming. This project gives creatives the opportunity to further develop it or even completely redesign the entire PCB. By combining practical and theoretical knowledge and skills, I aim to demonstrate the importance of RTC modules in modern timekeeping devices and inspire innovation in digital clock designs.
