CD4060 IC Timer Circuit  1 min 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. Therefore in the present 4060 timer circuit, the oscillator frequency determine by an external RC network connected to pins 9, 10 and 11.

R218KΩ
R31KΩ
R41KΩ
R51KΩ
R61MΩ
VR1500KΩ (504)

C210nF (103)

RL1Relay

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.

CD4060 CMOS 14 Stage Ripple Carry Binary Counter Divider Oscillator ic pin configuration
CD4060 pinout, CD4060B consists of an oscillator section and 14 ripple-carry binary counter stages. The oscillator configuration allows design of either RC or crystal oscillator circuits.
Features – Wide supply voltage range: 1.0V to 15V, High noise immunity: 0.45 VDD (typ.), Low power TTL compatibility: Fan out of 2 driving 74L or 1 driving 74LS, Medium speed operation: 8 MHz typ. at VDD = 10V, Schmitt trigger clock input.

The time delay can set using with the aid of VR1. Also time delays of between one minute and two hours are possible by appropriate dimensioning of the timing components:

1-30 minutes: C1 = 220nF ; VR1 = 500KΩ.
1-60 minutes: C1 = 470nF ; VR1 = 500KΩ.
1-120 minutes: C1 = 470nF ; VR1 = 1MΩ.

9V PP3 battery uses to power this 4060 timer circuit. Light-emitting diode D1 does not affect the operation of the circuit. Because D1 include merely to show that the timer works. Diode D1 and resistor R4 are , therefore, optional components.

    i am a very fresh guy for electronics. i tried to get the parts to try this circuit but the shopkeeper is asking the voltage for 220nF (224) & 220nF (224) capacitors. and also what is given in brackets for nf capacitors and VR1500KΩ (504)
    thank you brother for your circuit.

      the capacitors you may use are not electrolytic but common capacitors (ceramics) These capacitors they (often) have no voltage limit and aren’t polarized….

      VR=Variable Resitor wich actually is any potentiometer or trimmer

    Hello, Could you advise a suitable alternative to the BC547 transistor, which seems to be temporarily unavailable in the UK. I do have some BC548B transistors, will they work OK. Thanks.

    Thank you for a nice video.
    I have been trying with the 555 timer but I would need an “on” time of only one second, and a “off” time of 20 minutes. (or reverse), Is this possible with the 4060?
    Many thanks

    one thing i would like to know about the circuit,
    let as assume that the counter is started and then we are disconnecting the battery, then we are connecting the battery again.
    now my doubt is at this stage whether counter will reset or continue from the dropped point

    Hi — Hope you are still looking at this, I built the circuit as described and for the delay time it works perfectly, however after about the same amount of time as the delay time, it turns off and cycles like that. Delay 1 minute, relay goes on, wait another minute and it turns back off (pin 3 goes low), and this repeats, any idea on what I might have wrong or what I can do to keep it from turning back off?

    Thank you for your time and the circuit.
