DS3231M Pinout Equivalent

1：Overview of The DS3231M：

DS3231M is a high-precision I²C real-time clock (RTC) chip launched by Analog Devices (formerly Maxim), integrating MEMS resonator and temperature compensation function, suitable for industrial, consumer electronics and other scenarios that require accurate timing.
±5ppm accuracy (-45°C to +85°C), daily error is only ±0.432 seconds, supports leap year compensation until 2100. Dual power supply input (VCC main power supply + VBAT backup battery). Automatically switch to the battery when the main power supply is cut off to maintain timing.
