ABSTRACT:
A method for adjusting the rate of a horological module, said horological module including a printed circuit (1) on which are mounted in particular a quartz (10) and an integrated circuit (20) including an oscillator (21) driven by the quartz (10), a frequency divider circuit (22) with several stages (22.1 to 22.15), an adjustment circuit (23) allowing the introduction of a correction factor of the division ratio of said frequency divider circuit (22), and a memory circuit (24) containing data (N) representing said correction factor. The adjustment method according to the present invention uses a laser device to allow said data (N) representing the correction factor to be coded by the selective destruction of fuses (F1, F2; F.1 to F.6; F.1* to F.6*) forming memory elements of said memory circuit (24).
