Everything about Real-time clock
Circuit in a computer that maintains accurate time
A real-time clock (RTC) is an electronic timekeeping device, most often in the form of an integrated circuit (IC). Although the term often refers to the devices in personal computers, servers and embedded systems, RTCs are present in almost any electronic device that needs to keep accurate time of day.
