* 1) Pulse Mode: 2-Hz and 1-Hz clock pulses are output in synchronization with the increment of the
second counter as illustrated in the timing chart below.

/INTR Pin
Approx. 92µs
(Increment of second counter)
Rewriting of the second counter
In the pulse mode, the increment of the second counter is delayed by approximately 92 µs from the
falling edge of clock pulses. Consequently, time readings immediately after the falling edge of clock
pulses may appear to lag behind the time counts of the real-time clocks by approximately 1 second.
Rewriting the second counter will reset the other time counters of less than 1 second, driving the
/INTR pin low.
* 2) Level Mode: Periodic interrupt signals are output with selectable interrupt cycle settings of 1 second, 1
minute, 1 hour, and 1 month. The increment of the second counter is synchronized with the falling
edge of periodic interrupt signals. For example, periodic interrupt signals with an interrupt cycle
setting of 1 second are output in synchronization with the increment of the second counter as
illustrated in the timing chart below.
