Retentive Alternate Block

This block is equivalent to the Alternate Function block described in section 6.4 but includes a
the retention function. When the retention function is ON, the Retentive Alternation (RAL)
output will act as a latched output and remember the ON/OFF settings in the case of a power
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.
