GOTOTOP Real Time Clock Board RTC V1.3 CR1220 Backup for DE10 Nano

Description

Product Overview

The GOTOTOP Real Time Clock Board is a purpose‑built timing solution for developers working with FPGA platforms such as the Terasic DE10‑Nano and the Mister IO board. Engineered with a V1.3 RTC module, the board incorporates a CR1220 lithium coin cell backup that preserves date and time data even when the main power source is removed. Its compact form factor—measuring just 3.14 × 2.36 × 0.39 inches and weighing a mere 0.21 ounces—makes it an ideal fit for space‑constrained applications while still delivering robust performance. The board arrives fully assembled and pre‑tested, eliminating the need for soldering or additional configuration steps. Designed for industrial and scientific environments, it meets the rigorous standards expected in timing management products, offering high‑precision clocking, low power consumption, and long‑term reliability. The inclusion of a CR1220 backup battery ensures that critical time‑stamping functions remain accurate across power cycles, a vital feature for data logging, process control, and real‑time monitoring systems.

Usage

In practical terms, this clock board can be deployed across a wide range of scenarios where precise timekeeping is essential. For developers building embedded systems on the DE10‑Nano, the board plugs directly into the dedicated connector, providing an immediate, plug‑and‑play solution that eliminates the complexities of external timing modules. In industrial automation, the RTC’s stability supports synchronized operations among multiple machines, ensuring that events are logged with exact timestamps. Researchers in laboratory settings benefit from the board’s ability to maintain accurate time during long‑duration experiments, even when power interruptions occur. Hobbyists creating custom IoT devices can rely on the board to keep their sensors and actuators coordinated without needing an internet connection for time synchronization. The board’s low power draw makes it suitable for battery‑operated deployments, while its rugged construction tolerates the temperature variations typical of field installations. Whether used in educational labs, prototype development, or production‑grade equipment, the GOTOTOP RTC board provides a dependable backbone for any application that demands trustworthy time data.
