ABSTRACT:
A group of selectably-loadable counters is used to derive timekeeping information, for use in an energy load control system, by counting the accurate pulses obtained from a crystal-controlled oscillator and a divider chain. A back-up battery is used to allow the oscillator, dividers and counters to continue the timekeeping function even if normal power, obtained from power mains, is temporarily lost. An address decoder and input/output bus drivers interface with the counters to allow date, hour and minute time information to be routed to, or received from a data bus and under programmable control, when the clock is used in a microcomputer-based system.
