Abstract: An electronic timekeeping device includes bipolar integrated circuit implemented logic in combination with a liquid crystal display. The bipolar circuitry is configured to effectively implement logic functions with a supply voltage of only one volt. Drive circuitry is coupled to the liquid crystal display to effectively impress an a.c. voltage across the liquid crystal cell when display is required. The logic circuitry includes a transistor configured current source regulated to effectively maintain a current independent of source and load variations, enabling integrated circuit implementation without utilizing large value external resistors. The display circuitry includes logic for enabling display of the calendar date and time, reset capabilities independent of date increments are provided.
