1. A timekeeping circuit is an integrated circuit watch, said watch having a master oscillator for generation of a timekeeping signal and having output means for generating an output signal, comprising: a control means for selectively generating an address and control signal, said control means being coupled to said master oscillator and responsive at least in part to said timekeeping signal; address decoder means for decoding at least part of said address and control signal, said address decoder means being coupled to said control means; a RAM being coupled to said address decoder means, said RAM being responsive to said address and control signal to provide a selected binary word; Pla being coupled to said address decoder means, said PLA generating an output binary word in response to said address and control signal and to said selected binary word; and memory control means being coupled to said RAM, said PLA, and said output means, for selectively coupling said selected binary word said RAM, said PLA and said output means.
