Electronic timepiece with frequency correction

摘要

A time correction circuit for an electronic timepiece comprising an oscillator circuit inputting a high frequency standard signal to a divider network, the divider network dividing down the standard signal in a plurality of stages. Correction data is periodically applied to a plurality of divider stages to advance or retard the timing rate when a selected stage achieves a preferred logic state. Occurrence of a logic state in a subsequent divider stage enables the circuits for the next periodic application of the correcting data. Coarse and fine adjustments can be made.
