Real Time Clock Interfacing

DS1307, a 64 x 8, Serial, I2C Real-Time Clock, is a low-power, full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data are transferred serially through an I2C, bidirectional bus. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, 

hours, day, date, month, and year information. It a product of Maxim/Dallas Semiconductor, see the product page.

This is an example how to interface DS1307 with 8051. I use SDCC as C Compiler. My schematic is shown below.
