MIKROE celebrates 2000th Click board
31 July 2026
Computer/Embedded Technology
MIKROE has launched its 2000th Click board, the RTC 27 Click, designed for low-power real-time clock and calendar functionality, time tracking, alarm event generation, watchdog timing, and timestamp capture.
The Click board concept centres around the mikroBUS socket and standard, and was pioneered 15 years ago when Neb Matic, MIKROE CEO and founder of MIKROE asked himself: ‘What is the minimum number of pins that can cover the greatest number of peripherals?’ The answer, he determined, was 16, in two rows of 8. This is the fewest number of pins that can account for most chips, modules, and components that designers could ever want to place on an add-on board. From this, MIKROE has developed the Click board product range such that the company now launches one new Click nearly every day.
RTC Click is the latest addition to the Click board family of compact add-on boards that enables developers to rapidly provide proof-of-concept, then prototype and code the new embedded projects. RTC 27 Click is based on the PCF8525, a nano-power CMOS real-time clock and calendar with an I2C interface from NXP. It provides year, month, day, weekday, hours, minutes, seconds, and 1/100-second data, selectable crystal temperature compensation with aging offset support for improved timekeeping accuracy, programmable alarm and watchdog timer functions, timestamp capture, battery backup with automatic switch-over circuitry, and two configurable interrupt outputs with selectable routing through onboard jumpers. Its ultra-low-power operation, requiring only 64 nA typical current consumption in timekeeping mode at 3,3 VDD, makes it especially suitable for battery-powered and always-on designs. The board also features the ClickID function, which enables automatic identification by the host system, simplifying use.
