SPECIAL-PURPOSE REGISTERS
The DS1339 has two additional registers (control and status) that control the RTC, alarms, and square-wave
output.

EOSC
Bit 7: Enable Oscillator (EOSC). This bit when set to logic 0 starts the oscillator. When this bit is set to a logic 1,
the oscillator is stopped. This bit is enabled (logic 0) when power is first applied.
Bit 5: Battery-Backed Square-Wave and Interrupt Enable (BBSQI). This bit when set to a logic 1 enables the
square wave or interrupt output when VCC is absent and the DS1339 is being powered by the VBACKUP pin. When
BBSQI is a logic 0, the SQW/INT pin goes high impedance when VCC falls below the power-fail trip point. This bit is
disabled (logic 0) when power is first applied.
Bits 4 and 3: Rate Select (RS2 and RS1). These bits control the frequency of the square-wave output when the
square wave has been enabled. The table below shows the square-wave frequencies that can be selected with the
RS bits. These bits are both set to logic 1 (32kHz) when power is first applied.
