MB3769A
■ HOW TO SYNCHRONIZE WITH OUTSIDE CLOCK
The MB3769A oscillator circuit is shown in Figure 16. CT charge and discharge currents are expressed by the following formula:

This circuit shows that if the voltage at the CT terminal is set to 1.5 V or less, one oscillation cycle ends and the next cycle starts.
An example of an external synchronous clock circuit is shown in Figure 17.
