Note:
Square wave output
The M41T93 offers the user a programmable square wave function which is output on the
SQW pin. RS3-RS0 bits located in 13h establish the square wave output frequency. These
frequencies are listed in Table 4. Once the selection of the SQW frequency has been
completed, the SQW pin can be turned on and off under software control with the Square
Wave Enable Bit (SQWE) located in Register 0Ah.
If the SQWE Bit is set to '1', and VCC falls below the switchover (VSO) voltage, the
squarewave output will be disabled.
