3. How to confirm setting value for register and result of correction
The S-35399A02 does not adjust the frequency of the crystal oscillation by using the clock-correction function. Therefore
users cannot confirm if it is corrected or not by measuring output 32.768 kHz. When the function to clock-correction is
being used, the cycle of 1 Hz clock pulse output from the INT1 pin changes once in 20 times or 60 times, as shown in
Figure 37.

Measure a and b by using the frequency counter^*1. Calculate the average frequency (Tave) based on the measurement
results.
B0 = 0, Tave = (a × 19 + b) ÷ 20
B0 = 1, Tave = (a × 59 + b) ÷ 60
Calculate the error of the clock based on the average frequency (Tave). The following shows an example for confirmation.
Confirmation example: When B0 =0, 66h is set
Measurement results: a = 1.000080 Hz, b = 0.998493 Hz

Calculating the average frequency allows to confirm the result of correction.
*1. Use a high-accuracy frequency counter of 7 digits or more.
Caution 1. Clock pulse output from the FOUT pin is not corrected.
2. Measure the oscillation frequency under the usage conditions.
