DS3231 I2C Real Time Clock IC (SMD SOP-16 Package)

The DS3231 breakout modules already in the catalog are the fast way to add accurate timekeeping to a project, but they fix the builder to a specific board footprint and feature set. This bare SOP-16 package puts the same highly accurate, temperature-compensated RTC chip in a builder's hands to design into a custom PCB layout, whether that's integrating it directly alongside a microcontroller on a single board or building a timekeeping circuit with a specific battery backup arrangement a generic module doesn't offer.
