How does RTC enable everything to run accurately?
Real-Time Clock 丨 Real-time clock
Small RTC: invisible, but inseparable
A new day starts with "accuracy":
● In the morning, the rice cooker set up in advance will cook hot porridge for you on time;
● On the way to work, after a "beep" sound of scanning the code, the shared bicycle starts accurate timekeeping and charging;
● Rushing to the office, the attendance machine accurately records the key time of your punch-in...
These "punctuality" and "accuracy" that we are accustomed to all rely on the "timing reference source" of electronic devices - Real-Time Clock (RTC).
With excellent product features such as ultra-low power consumption, extremely high precision and continuous operation during power failure, RTC is widely used in various smart devices to provide uninterrupted and highly reliable time reference.
So in which fields does RTC play a key role? Next, Xiao Yang will take you to quickly understand~
01 Smart Wear
Wearable devices such as smart watches/bracelets integrate sensing, communication and intelligent interaction technologies, and support functions such as health data monitoring, message synchronization, and payment, all of which require accurate time.
RTC: "Time Butler" on the Wrist
In smart wearable devices, RTC plays a key role as a "time butler" on the wrist:
· Accurate time display: Ensuring accurate time visible when raising the wrist is the basis of user experience.
· Health data recording: Provide accurate timestamps for each heart rate, sleep, and exercise data to ensure the accuracy of data analysis.
· Scheduled task execution: Relying on the timer function of RTC, accurate execution of tasks such as alarms, reminders, and periodic wake-ups is achieved.
· Power-off time retention: Low power consumption, ensuring that time is not lost after the device is powered off, meeting long-term wear and battery life requirements.

02 Industrial Control
The industrial system is accelerating towards intelligence and automation. From industrial Internet of Things platform, PLC to human-machine interaction (HMI), each link relies on precise time coordination.
RTC: The "Timing Cornerstone" of Industrial Production
In complex industrial control systems, RTC plays a key role:
· Accurate recording of production data and events: Providing millisecond-level timestamps for various data, equipment operations, and abnormal events in the production process, which is an important basis for production traceability, fault analysis, and responsibility definition.
· Accurate control of automated processes: Realize accurate timing start and stop of equipment, maintenance plans, process switching, etc. in automated production lines to ensure accurate execution of production processes.
· Multi-device collaboration and time consistency: Ensure that data interaction and collaborative actions between different devices in complex automation systems are based on a unified and accurate time benchmark.
YXC Product Solution | High Reliability RTC

· Pin to pin replacement of NXP PCF8563 series & Epson RX8010 series
03 Power system
As a key national infrastructure, the safe and stable operation of the power system is highly dependent on the precise time coordination of each node.
RTC: The "time pulse" of the power system
As the "time pulse" of the power system, the key role of RTC is reflected in:
· Accurate switching of time-of-use electricity prices: Accurate time is the basis for realizing time-of-use electricity prices, which directly affects the calculation of users' electricity bills.
· Millisecond-level marking of fault events: Provide millisecond-level timestamps for power grid faults to help quickly locate and analyze.
· High-precision equipment synchronization: Ensure that the time of all equipment in the power grid is highly synchronized to ensure accurate execution of dispatch control.
· Power outage duration timing: When extreme weather or emergencies cause external timing interruptions, RTC needs to continue to provide high-precision time.
