1) Pulse mode: Outputs 2Hz, 1Hz clock pulses. For relationships with counting up of seconds, see the diagram
on the next page.
*) When 32000Hz crystal is used
In the 2Hz clock pulse mode, 0.496s clock pulses and 0.504s clock pulse are output alternately. Duty cycle for
1Hz clock pulses becomes 50.4% (“L” duration is 0.496s while “H” duration is 0.504s).
2) Level mode: One second, one minute or one month may be selected for an interrupt frequency. Counting up of
seconds is matched with falling edge of interrupt output.
3) When the clock error correction circuit is used, periodic interrupt frequency changes every 20 seconds.
Pulse mode: “L” duration of output pulses may change in the maximum range of ±3.784ms (±3.875ms when
32.000kHz crystal is used.) For example, Duty will be 50±0.3784% (or 50±0.3875% when 32.000kHz crystal is
used) at 1Hz.
Level mode: Frequency in one second may change in the maximum range of ±3.784ms (±3.875ms when
32.000kHz crystal is used.)
