Title:
PORTABLE CLOCK AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/011024
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A portable clock is provided with an atomic oscillator (13) for generating and outputting a reference clock signal; and a clock module (12) which operates based on the reference clock signal. The atomic oscillator (13) and the clock module (12) are separately arranged to be thermally isolated. An electronic device is provided with a crystal oscillator for generating and outputting a first oscillation signal; an atomic oscillator for generating and outputting a second oscillation signal which is more accurate than the first oscillation signal; a clock module which operates based on the first oscillation signal and the second oscillation signal; and a thermally isolating section for thermally isolating an atomic oscillator, the crystal oscillator (11) and the clock module (12). Thus, the portable clock and the electronic device wherein influence of heat from the atomic oscillator is reduced and power consumption can be reduced, even when the atomic oscillator is used as a reference oscillator, are constituted.
