MIKROE Celebrates 2000th Click Board With NXP RTC, Targeting Ultra-Low-Power Timekeeping With Alarms, Watchdog, and Timestamps
Joins wide range of compact add-on boards that save embedded designers significant development time and money
MIKROE, the embedded solutions company that dramatically cuts development time by providing innovative hardware and software products based on proven standards, today 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 & Founder of MIKROE asked himself a question: "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.
Comments Aleksandar Mitrovic – Click boards Product Marketing Manager at MIKROE: “This large product range enables embedded designers to address a huge number of applications quickly and simply. This design approach is easy to access and cost-effective when compared to the price of bespoke design tools that are limited to products from one company. Designers can get up and running within minutes, without having to constantly learn new tools.”
