Generally, a crystal oscillator is used as a time reference signal generation source in a high-precision timekeeping device, but it is known that the oscillation frequency of this crystal oscillator also changes due to changes in ambient temperature. Therefore, in order to maintain high accuracy of an electronic timepiece, it is necessary to compensate for changes in the oscillation frequency of the crystal oscillator or its divided output frequency due to temperature changes. Conventionally, compensation has been achieved by incorporating a temperature-sensitive capacitive element, etc., which has a capacitance-temperature characteristic that cancels out the frequency-temperature characteristic of the crystal resonator, into the crystal oscillator circuit, and divides its output to obtain a reference time for timekeeping. I had a signal. However, in this case, the temperature-frequency characteristics of the crystal resonator and the characteristics of the temperature compensation element must show completely opposite correspondences, but in reality, the compensation elements are combined so that they follow the characteristic curve of the crystal resonator. It is difficult to
In addition, many of the compensation elements undergo large changes over time, and furthermore, the crystal resonator itself also changes over time, resulting in poor compensation stability and difficulty in adjustment.

Furthermore, prior to the filing of this application, there was a method of having two crystal oscillators with different temperature-frequency characteristics, using one for generating a time reference signal and the other for temperature detection, and performing temperature correction during frequency division. This is described in Japanese Patent Application No. 51-81357 filed by the same applicant as the present application. However, this method also had many drawbacks, such as difficulty in combining crystal oscillators, aging, and adjustment.

Next, the arithmetic processing unit 1 performs temperature correction arithmetic processing on the time reference signal using the temperature correction data to eliminate the influence of temperature changes, and increases the number from 0 to 9 by 1 at 0.1 second intervals through arithmetic processing.
Second-by-second data is created and stored in a register, and simultaneously sent to the display driving means 7a and displayed on the liquid crystal matrix display device 8. When the 0.1 second unit data reaches 9, it is reset to 0 after 0.1 seconds and one carry is performed as a second signal. The data of the second signal is processed at the next timing after the 0.1 second unit data is created by the arithmetic processing unit 1, and is converted from 0 to 59 by the second signal of carry based on the 0.1 second unit data. It is counted one by one. When the data of the second signal reaches 59, it is reset to 0 one second later, and one carry is performed as a minute signal.
