Real Time Clock Module - RV-8803 (Qwiic) Hookup Guide
Introduction
The Real Time Clock Module - RV-8803 (Qwiic) is a Qwiic-enabled breakout board for the RV-8803 RTC module. The RV-8803 boasts some impressive
features including a temperature compensated crystal, extremely precise time-keeping, low power consumption, time stamp event input along with a
user-programmable timing offset value. It even has a programmable Clock Output to control precise timing for peripheral devices. The RV-8803 also has
an improved I C interface compared to the RV-1805 RTC that removes the need to sequence commands/writes to the device. This is particularly helpful if
you are not using our Arduino Library to control the RTC.

In this hookup guide we will go over the unique features of the RV-8803 along with some Arduino examples demonstrating how to use those features. By
the end of this tutorial you will have your Real Time Clock Module - RV-8803 (Qwiic) configured and tick-tocking away (well, ticking, maybe not tocking)
for your next time-keeping project!
Required Materials
To follow along with this guide you will need a microcontroller to configure and communicate with the RTC Module breakout. Below are a few options that
come Qwiic-enabled out of the box:

SparkFun Qwiic Pro Micro - USB-C (ATmega32U4) SparkFun Thing Plus - ESP32 WROOM
If your chosen microcontroller is not already Qwiic-enabled, you can add that functionality with one or more of the following items:
DEV-15795 WRL-15663
SparkFun RedBoard Qwiic
DEV-15123
SparkFun RedBoard Artemis
DEV-15444
SparkFun Qwiic Cable Kit
KIT-15081
SparkFun Qwiic Shield for Arduino
DEV-14352
Some of the examples demonstrate how to use more than just the I C pins. If you want to follow along with them you will need to solder to the EVI, INT,
CLKOUT and CLKOE pins broken out on the board. Click the button below to see some recommended soldering tools and materials if you need them.

Finally, if you want to fine tune the RV-8803's oscillator for extremely precise time keeping you will need to use an oscilloscope or logic analyzer to
calibrate it. Click the button below to see some options for oscilloscopes and logic analyzers if you need one.

Hardware Overview
The heart of this breakout is the RV-8803 Real Time Clock module from Micro Crystal. In this section we'll cover most of the features and characteristics
of the RV-8803 and this breakout but if you are looking for a more thorough synopsis of the RV-8803, take a look through the Application Manual . The
table below lists some of the operating characteristics of the RV-8803.
Characteristic Value
Operating Voltage Range 1.5V - 5.5V
Time Accuracy (Temp. Compensated -40° to +85°C) +/-3 ppm
Time Accuracy (Temp. Compensated +85° to +105°C) +/-7 ppm
Current Consumption 240 nA (Typ.) to 350 nA
I C Address 0x64
Power
There are two primary ways to power the SparkFun Real Time Clock Module - RV-8803 (Qwiic). The best and easiest way is through the Qwiic
Connectors on either side of the board. When used with any of our Qwiic-enabled boards or our Qwiic Shields, this voltage will be 3.3V. The other power
input is the 3.3V pin broken out. The board also includes a 3V 47mAh battery in the 12mm coin cell battery holder on the back for backup power.

Heads up! While the RV-8803 can accept an input voltage between 1.5-5.5V, the Qwiic system operates at 3.3V so it is recommended to power
the RTC with 3.3V or lower, especially if you are using it with other Qwiic devices.
Qwiic and I C Interface
The easiest way to use the Real Time Clock Module - RV-8803 (Qwiic) is with the Qwiic connect system. Just connect the board using a Qwiic Cable to
your microcontroller to start talking to it. Alternatively, you can solder to the I C pins broken out on the board. The 7-bit I C unshifted address is 0x32
(0110010b). This is a hardware set address and there are no alternate slave addresses for the RV-8803. If you need multiple RTC's on a single I C bus
you will need to use a multiplexer or mux like the Qwiic Mux Breakout - 8 Channel.

Pin Descriptions
While the Qwiic interface is the easiest and fastest way to start using your RTC, there are several other pins for extra functionality broken out. You will
need to either solder to these pins to make use of them or you can create a temporary connection using something like these IC Hooks. The table below
outlines all of the pins broken out on the RTC and summarizes their functionality.
Pin
Label

Function
Input/Output Functionality Notes
GND Ground Input 0V/Common Voltage
3.3V Power
Supply
Input Power Supply voltage range is 1.5-3.3V
SDA I C Data
Signal
Bi-directional Bi-directional data line. Voltage should not exceed power supply (e.g. 3.3V).
SCL I C Clock
Signal
Input Master-controlled clock signal. Voltage should not exceed power supply (e.g. 3.3V).
EVI Event
Input
Input/Output External event interrupt pin with Time Stamp Function. Active LOW by default. Tied to the button labeled EVI
for easy use.

INT Interrupt
Output
Output Open-drain, active LOW. Used to output Alarm, Periodic Countdown Timer, Periodic Time Update and
External Event Interrupt signals. Pulled to 3.3V with 100k resistor.
CLKOUT Clock
Output
Output Programmable square wave output for peripheral devices. Available frequencies are 32.768 kHz (default),
1024 Hz or 1Hz. Set on power-up and controlled by the state of CLKOE pin. When disabled, pin is high
impedance.
CLKOE Clock
Output
Enable
Input Enables and disables the CLKOUT pin. If HIGH, CLKOUT is enabled and is in output mode. If LOW,
CLKOUT is disabled. Pin is pulled to GND by default with a 100k resistor.
The EVI pin is broken out but also connected to the button highlighted to easily trigger interrupt events like time stamps.
Jumpers
There are two jumpers on the SparkFun Real Time Clock Module - RV-8803 (Qwiic) labeled "I C" and "LED". The I C jumper is closed by default and can
be opened by severing the trace between the three pads to disconnect the two 4.7k Ohm resistors from the SDA and SCL lines. Open this jumper for if
you have many I C devices on the same bus or to reduce current draw for low-power projects. The LED jumper is closed by default and enables the on
board power LED. To open it, simply sever the trace in between the two jumper pads to disconnect the power LED (particularly useful for low-power
applications). Note: The power LED is tied to the 3.3V input and is not powered by the backup battery.

Board Dimensions
The SparkFun Real Time Clock Module - RV-8803 (Qwiic) is built to the standard 1 x 1" size for Qwiic Breakouts. One thing you may notice is this board's
lack of mounting holes. In order to fit the 1 x 1" standard for Qwiic Breakouts, there was no space for mounting holes as the battery holder takes the
space normally reserved for those mounting holes.
