Figure 25. IRQ1/FT/OUT output pin circuit
The timer, oscillator fail detect circuit, alarm 1, and watchdog are ORed together as the 
primary interrupt sources. The frequency test signal, FT, is used to enable a 512 Hz output 
on the IRQ1/FT/OUT pin for calibrating the RTC. When not used as an interrupt or 
frequency test output, the pin can be used as a discrete logic output controlled by the OUT 
bit. The ABE bit is used to enable interrupts during backup mode.
Operating on V
CC
, all four interrupt sources are available. During backup, the timer and 
watchdog are disabled, and the only interrupt sources are alarm 1 and the oscillator fail 
detect circuit.
