the retention function. When the retention function is ON, the Retentive Alternation (RAL)

failure. Every time the input pin receives a signal the ALT Output changes its ON/OFF status.
The Output alternates turning ON and OFF.
A Clear input signal over-rides the input signal and turns the Output OFF.
