2.4.2 CR2 Oscillator Circuit
The output of the 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator is used as the counting signal for the built-in clock
and as the D-RAM refreshing timing pulse. Thus, the oscillator circuit is always backed' up by the
battery (from the VB line) to ensure the 32.768 kHz clock signal to be supplied to IC 6A
(GAH40D), regardless whether power is on or off.
Fig. 2-51 is a circuit diagram of the CR2 oscillator circuit.
