Digital Clock using 8051 Microcontroller

Project Information

The 8051-based Real-Time Clock is a digital clock that utilizes an RTC DS1307 and operates on the I2C protocol, providing uninterrupted time display even after power failure, with the ability to maintain and update real-time information. This project employs a 16×2 LCD module to showcase time in the format of hours, minutes, seconds, date, month, and year. Real-time clocks are commonly employed in computers, homes, offices, and various electronic devices to ensure accurate timekeeping. The I2C protocol serves as a means to connect multiple devices to a single system, utilizing two wires and enabling communication between up to 127 devices and a single processor, typically operating at a frequency of 100KHz.
