A time signal peripheral may include a radio receiver, decoder/demodulator and time registers. The time signal peripheral may receive, detect and store time information from time signals, e.g., WWV, WWVH, WWVB (USA), JJY (Japan), MSF (UK) and the like. The time information may be used for a self setting clock, and the clock may be used as a reference in time sensitive applications, devices and systems. A digital processor may be coupled to and control the time signal peripheral. The digital processor may be used to decode the time information in the received time signal, store the decoded time information and make the time information available for use by a device and/or system, or the time signal peripheral may do these functions, allowing the digital processor to be used for higher level applications. The time signal peripheral may be fabricated on an integrated circuit die with or without the digital processor. The time signal peripheral and the digital process may be on a separate integrated circuit dice and be packaged together in a signal integrated circuit package.
