RTC module based on DS1337C and my first home made PCB

DS1337C is a real time clock (RTC) from Maxim. Unlike the commonly used RTC DS1307, the DS1337 has an internal crystal and hence does not requires only a few pullup resistors to get it running. Also, this was the first time I tried PCB etching. The first try (picture on the left) did not yield a good result and got over etched. The second trial (picture on the right) was successful.

The RTC module after populating,soldering and labelling is finally ready for some configuration and testing.
