DESCRIPTION OF OPERATIONS
*50/60Hz Input:
Built-in Shumidt circuit enables noise eliminations at 50/60Hz commercial frequencies with use of a
simple CR filter. Built-in pull-up resistor.
*CR Input:
When the AC power supply is interrupted, the time counter switches to a holding state and a built-in
oscillator promptly begins operation. If 50/60Hz input continues for 3 clocks without arriving, this
oscillator’s output is activated and functions as the time counter clock in place of 50/60Hz input. The
frequency level of this clock oscillator is determined according to the CR value. While the above
mentioned oscillator is operating using backup mode, all segment output is switched to OFF.
(Note) When the backup oscillator is in use due to an AC power supply interruption, the 50/60Hz input
pin must be maintained open or at a V
SS
level.
*50/60 Selective Input:
When 50/60 selective input is connected to V
SS
, 50Hz use is enabled. When 50/60 selective input is
left open, VDD is activated using an internal pull-down resistor and the setting is switched to enable use
at 60Hz.
*Display Mode Selective Input (Alarm Select/Sleep Select):
Since the pull-down resistor is built-in , selection from four display modes is possible using two SPST
switches (single-pole and single-throw switches). Table 1 shows these display mode selections.

*Time Setting Input:
There are two setting inputs for use with “hour” and “minute”. Time content settings show in Table2 are
possible by activating V

to these pins, A pull-down resistor is built-in.

Functions
Immediately adds 1 to hour digits and then assigns an additional 1, at a
speed of 2 Hz, after each 1/4 to 3/4 second.
Min
Immediately adds 1 to minute digits and then assigns an additional 1, at a
speed of 2 Hz, after each 1/4 to 3/4 second. Seconds are rest.
Both
Operates both as outline above.

Alarm
Hour
Immediately adds 1 to hour digits and then assigns an additional 1, at a
speed of 2 Hz, after each 1/4 to 3/4 second.
Min
Immediately adds 1 to minute digits and then assigns an additional 1, at a
speed of 2 Hz, after each 1/4 to 3/4 second.
Both
Resets hour and minute digits as [0:00] when operating in 24-hour mode or
[12:00] when operating in 12-hour mode.
Sleep

Sets sleep counter to [0:59] instantly when V
DD

Hour
Sets Sleep counter to [1:59] instantly when V
DD
is activated to sleep select
and hour at the same time.
Min
Sleep counter looses 1 at a speed of 2 Hz.
Both
Sleep counter looses 1 at a speed of 2 Hz.
Note:1.Once conditions have been switched to reset or hold, input of other functions is locked until both Hour and
Min input have been separated.
2.When the digital reading for seconds is between 30 and 59 seconds, 1 is added to the digits for minutes as
he digital reading for seconds rests to [00].
*12/24H Select Input :
When this pin set open (V
DD
), a 12-hour display is enabled whereas connecting this pin to V
SS
enables
the 24-hour display. A pull-down resistor is build-in.

When activated by drop in power supply, all segments which are lit begin to blink and the unit switches
to a power failure detection display. The power failure detection display is canceled by activating V
SS
to
Hours set or Min set.
*Alarm Operation and Alarm Output :
The alarm signal outputs when alarm content matches the content of current time. When not rest by
either snooze input or alarm off input, output continues after 1 hour and 59 minutes. This output signal
consists of 900Hz 2Hz intermittent (50% duty) modulation signals, When the need arises , a filter can be
applied to after the alarm signal to a DC signal.
*Snooze Input :
When the alarm is sounding and instantly activating V
SS
to this pin , alarm output is set to OFF for a
period between 8 and 9 minutes after which time the alarm signal is once again output. The snooze
function can be used repeatedly in 1 hours and 59 minutes intervals. A pull-down resistor is built-in
Activating V
SS
to the snooze pin when the alarm is OFF resets the sleep timer counter to [0:00 ](This is
known as the one-touch sleep timer reset function.)
*Alarm Off Input :
Activating this input pin to VSS instantly sets alarm output to OFF.A pull-down resistor is built-in.
*Sleep Timer and Sleep Output :
Sleep output can turn on the radio and can be set for time intervals of 59 minutes or 1 hour and 59
minute. Refer to Table 2 for the proper selection procedure (59 minutes or 1 hour and 59 minute
selection.) This sleep timer is constructed using a down counter and when the counter content arrives at
[00], output is set to off and the radio turns off. Adding V
SS
to snooze input turns sleep output off. When
sleep output is on.
