X1
X2
Connections for standard 32.768 kHz quartz crystal. The internal oscillator circuitry is designed
for operation with a crystal having a specified load capacitance (CL) of 12.5 pF. An external
32.768 kHz oscillator can also drive the IDT1338. In this configuration, the X1 pin is connected to
the external oscillator signal and the X2 pin is left floating.

VBAT
Backup Supply Input for Lithium Coin Cell or Other Energy Source. Battery voltage must be held
between the minimum and maximum limits for proper operation. Diodes placed in series
between the backup source and the VBAT pin may prevent proper operation. If a backup supply is
not required, VBAT must be connected to ground.

GND
SDA
Connect to ground.
Serial data input/output. SDA is the input/output pin for the I2C serial interface. It is an open-drain
output and requires an external pull-up resistor (2 Kohm typical).

SCL
Serial clock input. SCL is used to synchronize data movement on the serial interface. It is an
open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor (2 Kohm typical)
SQW/OUT Square-Wave/Output driver. When enabled and the SQWE bit set to 1, the SQW/OUT pin
outputs one of four square-wave frequencies (1 Hz, 4 kHz, 8 kHz, 32 kHz). It is an open drain
output and requires an external pull-up resistor (10K ohm typical). Operates when the device is
powered with VCC or VBAT
.

Device power supply. When voltage is applied within specified limits, the device is fully
accessible by I2C and data can be written and read.
