Say goodbye to time inaccuracies with RV-3032-C7 - the real-time clock that keeps you on schedule

Hardware Overview
How does it work?
RTC 18 Click is based on the RV-3032-C7, a highly accurate real-time clock/calendar module optimized for low-power operations from Micro Crystal AG. The RV-3032-C7 has a built-in 32.768kHz “Tuning Fork” crystal oscillator and HF oscillator and counters for hundredths of seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, dates, months, years, and weekdays. Its temperature compensation circuitry is factory calibrated, resulting in the highest time accuracy of ±2.5ppm over the entire temperature range, with additional non-volatile aging offset correction. This RTC also comes with an integrated digital thermometer for actual internal temperature measurement in °C with a typical accuracy of ±1°C, resolution of 0.0625°C/step, and a programmable alarm on top and bottom temperature limits. Alongside all these features, it also supports an automatic leap year correction. The calendar year will
automatically be identified as a leap year when its last two digits are a multiple of 4. Consequently, leap years up to the year 2099 can automatically be recognized. This Click board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings, supporting a Fast Mode operation up to 400kHz. It also incorporates an alarm circuitry configured to generate an interrupt signal for Periodic Countdown Timer and Periodic Time Update (seconds, minutes), date/hour/minute alarm, and an external event registered with the CS pin on the mikroBUS™ socket. An alarm (interrupt) signal routed to the INT pin of the mikroBUS™ socket allows outputting warning every day or on a specific day visually indicated by a red LED marked as ALARM. The RV-3032-C7 also includes an automatic backup switchover circuit allowing it to be used with a single-button cell battery
for an extended period. This feature can be activated by positioning SMD jumpers labeled as BATT SEL in an appropriate position marked as OFF or ON. Besides an automatic backup switchover circuit, it has a trickle charger with a charge pump providing full RTC functions with programmable counters, alarm, selectable interrupt, and programmable clock output functions for frequencies from 1Hz to 52MHz available on an onboard header labeled CLKO. This Click board™ can operate with either 3.3V or 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs can use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
Features overview
Development board
PIC18F57Q43 Curiosity Nano evaluation kit is a cutting-edge hardware platform designed to evaluate microcontrollers within the PIC18-Q43 family. Central to its design is the inclusion of the powerful PIC18F57Q43 microcontroller (MCU), offering advanced functionalities and robust performance. Key features of this evaluation kit include a yellow user LED and a responsive
mechanical user switch, providing seamless interaction and testing. The provision for a 32.768kHz crystal footprint ensures precision timing capabilities. With an onboard debugger boasting a green power and status LED, programming and debugging become intuitive and efficient. Further enhancing its utility is the Virtual serial port (CDC) and a debug GPIO channel (DGI
GPIO), offering extensive connectivity options. Powered via USB, this kit boasts an adjustable target voltage feature facilitated by the MIC5353 LDO regulator, ensuring stable operation with an output voltage ranging from 1.8V to 5.1V, with a maximum output current of 500mA, subject to ambient temperature and voltage constraints.

Application Output
After loading the code example, pressing the "DEBUG" button builds and programs it on the selected setup.
After programming is completed, a header with buttons for various actions available in the IDE appears. By clicking the green "PLAY "button, we start reading the results achieved with Click board™.
Upon completion of programming, the Application Output tab is automatically opened, where the achieved result can be read. In case of an inability to perform the Debug function, check if a proper connection between the MCU used by the setup and the CODEGRIP programmer has been established. A detailed explanation of the CODEGRIP-board connection can be found in the CODEGRIP User Manual. Please find it in the RESOURCES section.

* # Description
* This example demonstrates the use of RTC 18 click board by reading and displaying
* the time and date values as well as the temperature measurements in Celsius.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initializes the driver and logger and performs the click default configuration
* which enables the periodic interrupt on seconds count-up, and sets the starting time and date.
*
* ## Application Task
* Waits for the second count-up interrupt and then reads and displays on the USB UART
* the current time and date values as well as the temperature measurements in Celsius.
