Real Time Clocks

Real-time clocks (RTCs) are integrated circuits (ICs) that are used to track and maintain the time and date in electronic systems. These clocks are called "real-time" clocks because they can provide accurate time and date information in real time, without the need for external synchronization. Real-time clocks are commonly used in a wide range of electronic systems and devices, such as computers, smartphones, and alarms. Integrated circuits, or ICs, are small, electronic devices that are composed of a large number of transistors, capacitors, and other electronic components, which are fabricated on a single chip of semiconductor material, such as silicon. ICs are commonly used in a wide range of electronic systems and devices, such as computers, smartphones, and televisions. Real-time clocks are typically used in applications where it is necessary to track and maintain the time and date in an electronic system. They are available in different sizes and styles, to accommodate different clock frequencies and circuit designs. Real-time clocks are essential components in many electronic systems, and they play a critical role in ensuring the reliable transmission of electrical power and signals.
