  • Question for electronics experts (re: flip flop circuit using Cmos 4060B)

    I’ve been looking to build a timer circuit for a test device, all the circuit has to do is turn a DPST (Double pole, single throw) relay on and off every 15 minutes.

    I came across the following site, which has a circuit that looks like it does what I want, what I’m not 100% cretin about is what pin to use on the Cmos 4060B:

    site: 24 Hour Timer

    I’ve used the email at the top of the page to contact the author, but have had no reply.

    From the table for circuit {1}, setting the range connection to pin 13 looks to be what I’m looking for.

    Could someone who has built similar type circuits or has used the 4060B confirm if I could get the correct 15 min on/off on that pin.

    Or would I be best setting it to some other pin which has a smaller range with 15 mins being in the middle somewhere.
    ...

    Hi,

    Yes I agree on using Pin 15 with those RC values for the oscillator parts.

    Here is some more useful explanation on the CD4060:

      Gyula,

      Thank you for your response as well as the link.

      Not sure if you did a typo error when you mentioned pin 15:

      Yes I agree on using Pin 15 with those RC values for the oscillator parts.
      Going by the table for circuit {1} pin 15 is shown as having a range of 30min to 90 min. Just want to make sure I'm reading you correctly.

        Yes, I mistyped, sorry for that. Correct Pin number is 13 of course. Was thinking on the 15 minutes....
