Real-Time Clock

A Real-Time Clock (RTC) is an electronic device, most often in the form of an integrated circuit, that measures the passage of time. Although the term often refers to the devices in personal computers, servers and embedded systems, RTCs are present in almost any electronic device which needs to keep accurate time of day.

Although keeping time can be done without an RTC, using one has benefits:

• Reliably maintains and provides current time through disruptive system states such as hangs, sleep, reboots, or if given sufficient backup power, full shutdown and hardware reassembly, without the need to have its time set again.
• Low power consumption, important when running from alternate power.
• Frees the main system for time-critical tasks.
• Sometimes more accurate than other methods.
