Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device with a means for Show the time based on a clock, the rate for the clock is given by an oscillator with low accuracy, which works continuously and provides impulses while the device is equipped with a microcontroller with a very precise clock, but which is switched off when the device is switched off.
  • an oscillation control circuit comprises an astable multivibrator and display means such as Example a light emitting diode connected to the astable multivibrator and is controlled by it.
  • An object of the invention is to provide an inexpensive one Watch, which nevertheless has good precision.
  • the device is provided with means that at least if the device is turned off, are active to the microcontroller periodically to start for a moment, and to tune the frequency of the Low accuracy oscillators using the very accurate clock calibrate while the microcontroller is on and by means to use the result of the calibration to display a corrected Time.
  • the car radio of Figure 1 comprises an antenna 1, a tuner 2, which an intermediate frequency amplifier and demodulator 3 and then one with a loudspeaker 5 connected audio amplifier 4 follows.
  • a microcontroller 9 For administration all functions of the car radio is a microcontroller 9, the is connected by a bus 19 to the above elements.
  • the removable front panel 16 includes a keyboard 10 and a display screen 7.
  • a blinking LED flashes (LED) 17.
  • the pulses used for this flashing LED will be by an inexpensive, based on a known circuit Using low precision RC oscillator 6, for example an integrated circuit of the type HEF4528. This oscillator controls diode 17 directly.
  • An interface 20 leads from this oscillator on the bus 19 a series of pulses with a period from to Example 1 second.
  • This oscillator also becomes a time display function for the car radio derived. This is possible if the main microcontroller 9 the Low-precision oscillator periodically using their own, exact crystal clock 21 calibrated, i.e. the period of the RC oscillator measures in the microcontroller that of the RC oscillator correct time spent.
  • step 11 the oscillator sends a pulse to the microcontroller.
  • step 12 the microcontroller during the for the Blinking of the LED, plus incrementing a first counter, necessary time woken up.
  • step 13 when the first counter reaches a predetermined one Has reached value "n" (J), the microcontroller then calibrates in step 15 the RC oscillator; if it has not done so (N), then the Microcontroller stopped.
  • the microcontroller starts for calibration simply a second internal counter (based on an exact Crystal oscillator) at the impulse arrival event and stops it at the next Pulse event ( Figure 5). After that, the clock value is last through this Calibration for the period from the previous calibration (or as Alternative until next calibration) corrected.
  • the microcontroller creates on the basis of an "incorrect" Beat a "true” beat.
  • the clock is of course only displayed when the radio is switched on. When the radio is turned off the real time is saved every minute every time when the microcontroller is woken up.
  • n 60 (calibration every minute) seems a good compromise to be: It increases the quiescent current of the entire car radio compared to the case without calibration by only 2% during the Error in the clock pulse estimate is then only 1 PPM (in one Environment where the temperature would change 10 times faster the error would only be 10 PPM, i.e. previously negligible).
  • the upper curve of Figure 5 represents two successive pulses of flashing LED, and the lower curve shows the clock pulses of the microcontroller.
  • the microcontroller counts the number of clock pulses between two successive pulses. The absolute mistake in the Measurement of the pulse rate by the microcontroller's oscillator given by the difference between En and En + 1. It's completely random its average being half the microcontroller clock period and when measuring the pulse period on a large number of Samples can be neglected.
  • the microcontroller is with one Register for storing the count between En and En + 1 equipped with the number of pulses received from the oscillator represents.
