CD4060 Timer Circuit 1 minute to 2 hours
CD4060 Timer Circuit 1 minute to 2 hours
This is a 1 minute to two-hour timer
switch. The 14-stage binary ripple counter Type 4060, IC1, has an
on-chip oscillator capable of stable operation over a relatively wide
frequency range. In the present circuit, the oscillator frequency is
determined by an external RC network connected to pins 9, 10 and 11.

When the power is on, the pulse at junction
R6-C2 resets the counter and counting starts. When the counter reaches
bit 14 (Q13), pin 3 goes high so that the relay, a 9V type, is turned on
via driver Q1.
1-30 minutes: C1 = 220nF ; VR1 = 500KΩ.
1-60 minutes: C1 = 470nF ; VR1 = 500KΩ.
1-120 minutes: C1 = 470nF ; VR1 = 1MΩ.
1-60 minutes: C1 = 470nF ; VR1 = 500KΩ.
1-120 minutes: C1 = 470nF ; VR1 = 1MΩ.
The timer is powered by a 9V PP3 battery.
Light-emitting diode D1 does not affect the operation of the circuit and
is included merely to show that the timer works. Diode D1 and resistor
R4 are , therefore, optional components.
