1) The R
脳
5C338A are configured to generate 32.768-kHz clock pulses for output from the 32KOUT pin at power-on conditionally on setting the XSTP bit
to 1 in the control register 2.
*
2) A frequency counter with 6 (more preferably 7) or more digits on the order of 1ppm is recommended for use in the measurement of the oscillation fre-
quency of the oscillation circuit.
3) The CLKC input should be connected to the V
DD
pin with a pull-up resistor.

2.3 Adjustment of Oscillation Frequency
The oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit can be adjusted by varying procedures depending on the usage of
the R
脳
5C338A in the system into which they are to be built and on the allowable degree of time count errors. The
flow chart below serves as a guide to selecting an optimum oscillation frequency adjustment procedure for the
relevant system.

Generally, crystal oscillators for commercial use are classified in terms of their center frequency depending on their load capacitance (C
L
) and further
divided into ranks on the order of 鹵10, 鹵 20, and 鹵50 ppm depending on the degree of their oscillation frequency variations.
*
2) Basically, the R
脳
5C338A are configured to cause frequency variations on the order of 鹵5 to 鹵10ppm at normal temperature.
*
3) Time count precision as referred to in the above flow chart is applicable to normal temperature and actually affected by the temperature characteristics
and other properties of crystal oscillators.
