MAX6901

32.768kHz Output (32KHZ)

32KHZ is a push-pull 32.768kHz output for timing or
clocking of external devices. Bit D7 in the Clock
Seconds register is the active-low enable bit for 32KHZ.
When D7 is logic 0, 32KHZ is enabled. When logic 1,
32KHZ is disabled and set to high impedance. Power-
on reset enables the 32.768kHz output.

Applications Information

Crystal Selection

The MAX6901 is designed to use a standard 32.768kHz
watch crystal. Table 1 details the recommended crystal
requirements. Some suggested crystals are listed in

Table 4. In addition to the specified SMT devices, some
of the listed manufacturers also offer other package
options.

Frequency Stability and Temperature

Timekeeping accuracy of the MAX6901 is dependent
on the frequency stability of the external crystal. To
determine frequency stability, use the parabolic curve
in Figure 6 and the following equations:

∆f = fk (T

0

- T)

2

where:
∆f = change in frequency from +25°C
