What is the RTC module used for?
RTC stands for Real-Time Clock and describes a real-time clock. RTC modules provide up-to-date date and time information - regardless of the operating state of the device, e.g. during current operation, lockout or shutdown. They also provide information when power is not supplied. They are used in simple watches and alarm clocks, and even in smart home control panels and measurement data loggers.
