The DS1307 Real Time Clock uses I2c communication lines to connect with the microcontroller.

I2C uses two lines commonly known as Serial Data/Address or SDA and Serial Clock Line or SCL. The two lines SDA and SCL are standardised and they are implemented using either an open collector or open drain configuration. What this means is that you need to pull these lines UP to VCC. For complete information on how the i2C is implemented in ATmega328PB, you need to go through the section of the datasheet called TWI or Two-Wire Serial Interface.

To start I2C in ATmega328PB, first the SCL frequency needs to set which must be under 100KHz .

To set the SCL frequency you set two registers TWBR0 and TWSR0.

TWSR0 has two bit 0 and bit 1; which sets the prescaler for the clock to the TWI.

Then TWBR0 needs to be set which can anything from 0 to 255.

THen you need to write the I2C functions for start, repeated start, data trasmission and recepetion and stop.
