Century Bit
Bits D7 and D6 of Clock Register 03h contain the
CENTURY ENABLE Bit (CEB) and the CENTURY
Bit (CB). Setting CEB to a '1' will cause CB to tog-
gle, either from a '0' to '1' or from '1' to '0' at the turn
of the century (depending upon its initial state). If
CEB is set to a '0,' CB will not toggle.
Output Driver Pin
When the FT Bit, AFE Bit, SQWE Bit, and Watch-
dog Register are not set, the IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW
pin becomes an output driver that reflects the con-
tents of D7 of the Control Register. In other words,
when D7 (OUT Bit) and D6 (FT Bit) of address lo-
cation 08h are a '0,' then the IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW
pin will be driven low.
Note: The IRQ/FT/OUT/SQW pin is an open drain
which requires an external pull-up resistor.
Preferred Initial Power-on Default
Upon initial application of power to the device, the
following register bits are set to a '0' state: Watch-
dog Register; AFE; ABE; SQWE; and FT. The fol-
lowing bits are set to a '1' state: ST; OUT; and HT
(see Table 13, page 21).
