DS3231MZ+, DS3231MZ/V+, DS3231MZ/V+T, and DS3231MZ+TRL are specific part numbers associated with Maxim Integrated's DS3231M family of real-time clock (RTC) modules. These modules are designed for precise timekeeping and provide additional features such as alarms, temperature sensing and non-volatile memory.
1. DS3231MZ+:
- This part number refers to the DS3231M RTC module in a specific package or form factor.
- It usually includes an RTC chip with integrated crystal, temperature sensor and non-volatile memory.
- A "+" suffix may indicate a specific revision or version of the module.
2. DS3231MZ/V+:
- The "V+" suffix usually indicates that the module is offered in a vertical package or has a vertical orientation.
- Rest of features and functions may be similar to DS3231MZ+.
3. DS3231MZ/V+T:
- A "T" suffix indicates that this version of the DS3231M module includes an additional temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (TCXO) for improved timekeeping accuracy.
- This TCXO helps maintain accurate timekeeping even under varying temperature conditions.
4. DS3231MZ+TRL:
- The "TRL" suffix typically indicates that the module is supplied in tape and reel packaging, typically for automated assembly processes.
- This module may have the same features and functions as the DS3231MZ+.
Features of the DS3231M series modules may include:
- High precision timekeeping with precision RTC chip.
- Integrated crystal oscillator for clock generation.
- Alarm function with programmable settings.
- Temperature sensor for monitoring ambient temperature.
- Non-volatile memory for storing time and alarm settings during power outages.
- I2C interface for communicating with microcontrollers or other devices.
These modules are typically used in the following applications:
- Clocks and timing equipment.
- Data logger and event logger.
- Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
- Home automation system.
- Medical equipment.
- automated industry.
