RTCWrite address, data

This command writes a new data value to the specified address of the RTC chip.

In other RTC chips, clock inaccuracies can occur due to temperature changes. The RTC chips, which work properly at room temperature, begin to tick abnormally as their crystals oscillations are affected by temperature. The DS3231 is an RTC chip that avoids such problems. It has a thermistor (i.e., a temperature sensor) along with a 32 KHz crystal. The oscillation frequency is adapted based on the temperature sensed by the thermistor. As a result, the crystal oscillations don’t fluctuate and the clock keeps better time.

But be aware that although the DS3231 keeps great time under varying temperatures, it is still not 100% perfect and should be verified for time critical applications.
