The RV-8803 is a ±1.5ppm temperature-compensated crystal real-time clock
We got a customer request for more precision real-time clocks in the store. We already stock the DS3231, which is a very popular precision RTC that has a temperature-compensated internal crystal. But the DS3231 is really chunky, and also there are new chips available! So this customer asked, could we please make a breakout for the RV-8803. The RV is more affordable than the DS and has ±3ppm stability over the temperature range and an amazing ±1.5ppm typical at room temp. It can also run from 1.5 up to 5 volts, so no level shifting or regulator required. No problem, we found the part on Digi-Key and spun up this little breakout that is nice and compact and has Stemma QT connectors on both sides and a CR1220 coin cell battery holder on the back! Coming soon to the Adafruit shop.
