In a microprocessor real time clock first signals (Int#2) produced by dividing the output of a crystal oscillator are counted to determine nominal fractions of a second, and the nominal fractions of a second are counted to determine the time. Second signals (Int#4) derived from the mains are used to adjust the counting of the first signals or the counting of the nominal fractions of a second to compensate for drift in the crystal oscillator frequency.
