4.9. CLOCK OUTPUT CLKOUT
The internal reference frequency is generated by the oscillator-circuitry operating a 32.768 kHz “Tuning-Fork”
Quartz Crystal.
A programmable square wave is available at CLKOUT pin. Frequencies of 32.768 kHz, 1024 Hz, 32 Hz or 1 Hz can
be generated for use as a system clock, microcontroller clock, input to a charge pump or for test purposes.
The duty cycle of the selected clock is not controlled. However, due to the nature of the clock generation, all
frequencies will be 50:50 except the 32.768 kHz.
The frequency 32.768 kHz is clocked directly from the oscillator-circuitry, as a consequence of that, this frequency
does not contain frequency compensation clock pulses. The frequencies 1024 / 32 / 1 Hz are clocked from the
prescaler and contain frequency compensation clock pulses.
Operation is controlled by the bits “FD1” / “FD0” (bit 2 & 3 in the register EEPROM Control).
If “Clk/Int” is = “1” (bit 7 in register Control_1), CLKOUT pin becomes a push-pull CLKOUT output and can be
enabled / disabled with the CLKOE pin. When disabled with CLKOE pin = “low”, the CLKOUT output is pulled low.
