发明名称 Compensating System Time Loss
摘要 An apparatus includes a power supply for producing power. The apparatus further includes a first processor powered by the power supply. The apparatus further includes a first time-storage circuit coupled to the first processor. The first processor periodically reads a first-real-time-clock time from a first real-time clock and stores the first-real-time-clock time in the first time-storage circuit. The apparatus further includes a first power-monitoring circuit coupled to the first processor. The first power-monitoring circuit stores energy when a first power-being-monitored is producing power and dissipates energy at a first predictable rate when the first power-being-monitored is not producing power. The first processor is programmed to, upon recovery from a reset, read from the first power-monitoring circuit the energy stored by the first power-monitoring circuit. The first processor is further programmed to determine from the first stored energy reading a first power-out length of time that the first power-being-monitored was not producing power. The first processor is further programmed to determine that the first power-out length of time is less than a first threshold length of time. The first processor is further programmed to set a first processor time to the first-real-time-clock time stored in the first time-storage circuit plus the first power-out length of time.
