How to use DS1307 Real Time Clock with Arduino code
DS1307N Description
The DS1307N serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power clock/calendar with complete binary-coded decimal (BCD) and 56 bytes of NV SRAM. An I2C bidirectional bus is used to transport address and data serially.
The clock/calendar displays information such as seconds, minutes, hours, days, dates, months, and years. For months with fewer than 31 days, the end of the month date is automatically modified, including leap year corrections. The clock has an AM/PM indicator and works in either a 24-hour or 12-hour mode. The DS1307N includes a built-in power sensor circuit that detects power outages and switches to the backup source automatically. While the part is running on the backup supply, the timekeeping operation continues.
DS1307N Pinout
The following figure is DS1307N Pinout.

Pinout
| Pin Number | Pin Name | Description |
| 1 | X1 | Standard 32.768kHz Quartz Crystal Connections The internal oscillator circuitry is set up to work with a crystal that has a load capacitance (CL) of 12.5pF. The oscillator's input, X1, can be connected to an external 32.768kHz oscillator if desired. If an external oscillator is attached to X1, the output of the internal oscillator, X2, is floating. |
| 2 | X2 | |
| 3 | VBAT | Any standard 3V lithium cell or other energy source can be used as a backup supply. For proper operation, battery voltage must be kept within the minimum and maximum limits. Between the battery and the VBAT pin, there may be diodes in series that prohibit correct operation. VBAT must be grounded if a backup source is not required. Internal circuitry sets the nominal power-fail trip point (VPF) voltage at which access to the RTC and user RAM is disallowed as 1.25 x VBAT nominal. In the absence of power, a lithium battery with 48mAh or more will power the DS1307 for more than 10 years at +25°C. When utilized with a lithium battery, it is UL recognized to prevent reverse charging current. |
| 4 | GND | Ground. |
| 5 | SDA | Input/output of serial data. SDA is the I2 C serial interface's data input/output port. The SDA pin is open drain and requires a pullup resistor externally. Regardless of the voltage on VCC, the pullup voltage can be up to 5.5V. |
| 6 | SCL | Input for a serial clock. The I2 C interface's clock input, SCL, is used to synchronize data movement on the serial interface. Regardless of the voltage on VCC, the pullup voltage can be up to 5.5V. |
| 7 | SQW/OUT | Output Driver (Square Wave). The SQW/OUT pin outputs one of four square-wave frequencies when the SQWE bit is set to 1. (1Hz, 4kHz, 8kHz, 32kHz). The SQW/OUT pin is an open drain pin that requires a pullup resistor externally. SQW/OUT can be used with either VCC or VBAT. Regardless of the voltage on VCC, the pullup voltage can be up to 5.5V. This pin can be left floating if not in use. |
| 8 | VCC | The source of primary energy. The device becomes fully accessible and data can be written and read when voltage is provided within typical limits. Reads and writes are disabled when a backup supply is attached to the device and VCC falls below VTP. The reduced input voltage has no effect on the timekeeping function, though. |
