Accurate 1 kilohertz (1kHz) square wave frequency generator schematic
This is a simple, accurate 1 kHz (1 kilohertz) square wave crystal oscillator circuit using frequency divider IC and crystal.
PARTS LIST | |
C1 | 22pF ceramic |
C2 | 22pF ceramic |
C3 | 0.1µF mylar |
R1 | 10MΩ ¼W |
R2 | |
XTAL | 8.192MHz crystal |
IC1 | CD4060 |
Our circuit uses a CD4060 ripple carry binary counter to divide the crystal frequency. CD4060 contains oscillator or astable stage followed by a 14 stage binary counter/divider. In this circuit pulses at IC1 pin 2 (Q13) divide by 213=8192. When we use 8.192MHz crystal we can get 1 kHz square wave frequency output.
8.192MHz/8192=1kHz
R1 acts as bias resistor. R2 acts as a current limiting resistor.
CD4060 oscillator features – All active components on chip, RC or crystal oscillator configuration, RC oscillator frequency of 690kHZ min. at 15V
CD4060 applications – Control counters, Timers, Frequency dividers, Time-delay circuits
Above circuit works between 5v to 15v.
UPDATE: (09/08/2018)
Please increase supply voltage between 10V to 15V, If circuit fail to oscillate.
