Simple Timer Circuit Using IC 4060

Last Updated on April 19, 2020 by Swagatam 61 Comments

In this post we learn how to build a simple yet accurate timer circuit using the IC 4060 and some ordinary passive components.

Main Advantage of using IC 4060 as the Timer IC

I have already discussed this IC comprehensively in one of my previous articles, everything regarding its pin outs have been discussed there in detail. We studied that the IC 4060 is specifically suited for timer applications and also as an oscillator. In this article we’ll study how a simple versatile timer can be built using the IC 4060.

Other than the IC you would require just a couple of resistors, one pot and a capacitor for making this timer.

Referring the figure, the simplicity of the design becomes evident and therefore this circuit is perfectly suited for all electronic newcomers, who can easily build this project and enjoy its useful service.

As explained earlier in one my articles, the IC has an in built oscillator that needs just a few passive external components for making it tick.

Depending upon the values of the external RC components, the oscillation periods can be varied right from a few fractions of a second to many hours.

RC components refer to the values of the external time determining components consisting of a resistor or a pot and a capacitor.

The outputs produce a varied rate of time periods; each output generates time periods that’s exactly double to that of the previous output in a certain order of the IC pin outs.

Since here we want to use this unit as a timer we have selected the pinout which is last in the order as far the length of the time period is concerned, meaning we have selected pin #3 which generates the highest delay period.

The biggest advantage of making a timer using IC 4060 is that the involved timing capacitor can be kept as small as possible by increasing the complementary timing component value, which is the resistor.

This helps to keep the circuit simple, smaller and very sleek, unlike other timer IC like 555 which require high value electrolytic capacitors for generating even ordinary time delays.

How the Circuit is Latched when Time is Elapsed

In the figure you can see a diode being introduced from the output pin #3 to one of the oscillator pin #11. This diode acts as a latching component, which latches the IC once the set time lapses and the output of the IC goes high.

If this diode is not inserted, the output would go freewheeling from logic high to logic low and keep repeating the time delays.

The circuit may be powered from a small 9 volt battery which will last almost for ever.

A buzzer is fitted at the output for the required indications of the timer output after the time delay has elapsed.

How to Reset the Timer

The IC may be reset simply by pressing the reset button or alternatively the circuit gets automatically reset when switched off and powered again.

How to Calculate Frequency or Time Delay of IC 4060 - The Formula

Or Alternatively the following standard formula for calculating the Rt and Ct values is:

f(osc) = 1 / 2.3 x Rt x Ct

2.3 is a constant as per the ICs internal configuration.

Rt will in Ohms and Rt in Farads

PCB Design

Adding a Relay

You can further upgrade the above design by adding a relay control to the output in order to facilitate an external mains AC load switching, as shown in the following image:

Remember the delay interval at pin3 can be increased by increasing the C1 value along with the P1 pot value. Hoover, make sure that the C1 is always a non-polar, hence to increase its value you can connect many number non polar capacitors in parallel. For example you can connect non-polar 1uF capacitor as many numbers as you want for getting a desired long delay.

Understanding the Basic ON/OFF sequence of IC 4060 pinouts

The following video shows how a basic timer circuit may be configured using an IC 4060 and a few supporting passive components.

The schematic for the circuit discussed in the video can be visualized in the following diagrams:

Basic ON/OFF sequence of IC 4060 pinouts

The following image shows how to latch IC 4060 output by adding a diode across the selected output pin and pin#11

how to latch IC 4060 output by adding a diode

As we already know that the timing output or delay across all the shown output pins of the IC 4060 depends on the product of the values of R1 and C1, here pin#3 can be seen going after 32 logic pulses from pin#14 of the IC. Meaning when the LED at pin#14 completes 32 pulses, the LED at pin#3 switches ON, and switches OFF after another 32 pulses from pin#14. Identically you may find different equivalent rates at the other output pins of the IC.

This timing proportion is observed when R2 and C1 are selected to be 10K and 0.1uF respectively.

Simple Timer with Alarm

The next circuit is also designed using the CMOS IC CD4060, that includes a pulse generator and a counter. When power is switched on via S1, a reset voltage is given to the IC through C2. Simultaneously the IC built-in oscillator starts providing pulses to the counter.

Following 213 clocks, the counter output (Q14) goes high, turning on the oscillator across T1 and T2. By doing this a sharp 3 kHz frequency that is emitted through an 8 ohm small loudspeaker. The circuit is powered down simply by turning off S1.

With the indicated R2 and C1, the buzzer will sound approximately An hour after the circuit has been started up. By upgrading R2 with a 1 M adjustable potentiometer, the buzzer time period could be varied from 5 minutes to 214 hours.

The potentiometer scale may be appropriately calibrated for quick setting up. The circuit utilizes hardly any current (0. 2 mA although the counter will be operating with 35 mA when the alarm signal is turned on) thus that a 9 V battery should promise quite an extended life.

PCB Design and Component Layout for the above timer with alarm can be seen below:

    Hello Swagatam
    I’m in need of some help to make a timing circuit using a CD 4060.
    I’ve made a few circuits ‘gleaned’ from the internet (including a couple of yours) onto a ‘breadboard’ and all worked but not as I wanted. All the descriptions of the circuits I tried refer to delays before the relay was activated or ‘repeater circuits’.
    What I’m after is a circuit that will activate a relay for about 3.5 to 4.5 minutes (I’m guessing the final setting will be around 4 minutes) and then deactivate the relay. I don’t need absolute precision; I thought that +/- 10 seconds would be OK.
    As far as indicators are concerned, just…
    I. power available LED
    II. relay active LED (flashing would be good).
    I have tried simple 555 timers but the large-ish electrolytic capacitors used seem to allow the timing time to drift a little more than I’d like.
    I suppose the first question I should have asked…is the CD4060 suitable for a one-shot timer?
    As a bit of background…I made an A4 size UV light box ages ago (15 years or so) which I’ve used a fair amount. Each time I switched the box on or off from the mains supply (manual timing by a kitchen timer) I keep telling myself to make a timer circuit so that the PCBs don’t get over exposed.
    The UV box started out as a ‘face-tanning’ gadget (240VAC containing four short UV tubes and their fixings and reflector), bought from a car-boot sale; the top half of a redundant scanner bought from a Charity shop and a home-made wooden bottom part to suit.
    Regards
    Don (Upton)

      Hello Don, in fact the first two circuits discussed above are one-shot timers. The feedback diode across the output pin and pin11 of the IC does the trick. Removing this diode transforms the timers into an oscillating astable, while including this diode changes it into a one shot monostable timer.

    Thank you very much. My concern is that we have output to activate the relay at the end of the time delay. What if we need the relay to be activated during this period and stops at the end of time delay like in the IC 555?
    Thank you again.

      If you use a PNP transistor driver for the relay, it will do exactly as required by you.

    Hi,
    I need some help to make a time delay circuit. The circuit needs to remind me to take my medication once a day by turning on and flicker a led at 6:00am every morning until I press the reset button to tell the circuit I took my pills. Then it needs to do the same thing the next day at 6:00am. So basically I think I need one IC4060 if I understand well. It will basically trigger the flickering led every 24h and then somehow the reset button will just turn the led off without turning off the counter. I’m not sure how I can do that circuit. Could you please help? Thanks a lot!

            The reset button is for resetting the timing cycle. The other push button is for stopping the LED flashing

            Reply
            • Romain Huon says

              Awesome! Thank you very much! I will order parts and try as soon as possible and give an update here. Meanwhile, the only question that arise is if the blue push button that is stopping the LED flashing will allow the LED to go back on 24hour later? Also, is it possible to make a mini circuit inside this circuit to make the push button to only close the LED after two pushes? Or maybe simplier circuit will be to add a confirmation button? So that when we want to confirm medication has been taken, we push the first blue pushbutton and then a second pushbutton near it to confirm. I’m not sure how to do this. Also I’d like to have the “second pushbutton press” timed out if not press in the next couple seconds, so that there is always a mean of confirmation. Might be that we can push two pushbutton at the same time to complete the circuit to close the LED I guess… I think that would be easier in circuit terms.
              But yeah, could you confirm the behavior of the blue pushbutton, does it let the LED go back on after 24 hours?

              Thanks!

            • Swagatam says

              You are welcome! The blue push button is only for stopping the LED blinking, it is not associated with the timing cycle. The timing cycle will reset and refresh automatically after every cycle and trigger the LED ON. The blue push button will switch OFF the LED and restore its initial condition.

              The 5uF capacitor can be configured by attaching many non-polar capacitors in parallel. For example you can put 7nos of 0.68uF in parallel.
              However, the values of the 5 uF and the 1 M resistor which decide the timing length are not calculated. You will have to adjust them appropriately through some trial and error.

            • Romain Huon says

              Also, what is the SCR169 component?

            • Romain Huon says

              Is it possible to change the 5uf capacitor to another value? I can’t find 5uf capacitor on DigiKey… they’re non stock or other values.
              Also, what is the SCR169 component?
              Do you think I can put two push button that I press simultaneously to put the LED off, instead of only one? So I will be able to “Confirm that I really pressed it”.
              Finally, could you confirm that even if I press the LED off buttons, the timer will bring it back on after 24 hour?

              Thanks!!

            • Swagatam says

              One push button will stop the LED without fail, so two will not be required, and there’s no way two can be accommodated in the slot, because one will be enough to do the job. At the most you can keep the button pressed for 2 or 3 seconds to make the switch OFF fail proof

            • Romain Huon says

              Hi again,
              Thanks for all that info! Last question,
              you said:
              “However, the values of the 5 uF and the 1 M resistor which decide the timing length are not calculated. You will have to adjust them appropriately through some trial and error.”
              Is it possible to calculate exactly what I need for it to reset after 24hours exaclty? I am asking, because waiting 24hours to see by trial and error will take me forever to adjust.
              Thanks!

            • Swagatam says

              Hi, 24 hours waiting is not required, you can do it even with a 10 second sample timing, through cross multiplication. The procedure is explained in the following article:

    I know this is an old video, but here’s hoping someone sees this..

    I am trying to somewhat replicate a tea light LED candle that when switched on, stays lit for 6 hrs and then automatically turns off for 18 hrs with the switch remaining in place. All of my research brought me to this video and I was wondering if this 4060 IC is the item I need? I am trying to power one (maybe two) 5 mm white LEDs with a 9V battery while keeping size to a minimum. I know how to do this with an Arduino Nano, but I believe it would be large, drain the battery too fast, and kind of excessive for this small application. I have a soldering iron, some protoboards, the 5 mm white LEDs I want to use and some resistors but can get more supplies if needed. I plan to make several of these setups for gifts 😉

    I am brand new to electronics and any help would be greatly appreciated.

      Yes you will need the IC 4060 for implementing the desired function, however, two of these will be needed for achieving two separate programmable timings, as explained in the following article;

    Interesting circuit sir, before i try your circuit i read the datasheet of cd 4060, from the tabel it said that max output current is on mA?not depends on current input?so it must be using relay to switching higher load says >500mA such as peltier or batteries?..im i right?pls fix me if iam wrong.
    Thank you.

    Reply
    • Swagatam says

      Thanks, yes naturally for switching higher current loads you will have to connect either a transistor such as TIP122 (for DC load) at pin3 or a transistor relay driver if the load is an AC load.

      In the last diagrams, you can replace the BC537 with TIP122 and the collector 1K with a high current load. Alternatively, you can replace the 1K at the the collector of the BC547 with a relay. Just make sure the relay coil has a freewheeling diode, and the the green LED has a series 1K for both the above mentioned alternatives.

    I note that the 4060 is powered with 3-15 volts of input via pins 8, 12, and 16. It has several outputs, i.e. pins 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,13,14, and 15. At the proper time, depending upon the Resistors and Capacitors attached to pins 9,10, and 11, each of the outputs will go on.
    Question 1) What will be the output voltage.
    Question 2) Is there a correlation between input and output voltage, i.e. would Vo = k * Vi ?
    Question 3) If several of the output pins are on, will that diminish the voltages, and if so how?

    Reply
    • Swag says

      Pin#8 and pin#16 are the supply pins of the IC, pin#12 is the reset pin.
      All digital ICs or CMOS ICs will always show an output voltage almost equal to the supply voltage applied across their supply pins. So the output is just the switching ON of the applied supply voltage at their Vcc or supply pins.

      The outputs will be normally connected through resistors so even if all the outputs are ON, the voltage will not be affected.

      Kesav, it is called a decoupling capacitor, this is normally recommended for all CMOS ICs and should be connected directly across their supply pins (Vcc/Vss)…It is required to ensure a healthy functioning of the IC and prevent voltage transients from affecting the IC functioning during power switch ON periods

      Hi Andrea,

      the counting is in the form of pulses generated across the different output pins of the IC…pin#3 generates the pulses at the slowest rate while pin#7 the fastest…others do it at other specified frequency rates.

      these rates of frequency are determined by the charging and discharging period of the capacitor, through the internal CMOS gates…however how these different speeds or frequency rates are attributed across the pinouts of the IC is a little complex to understand and will need a thorough study of the internal structure of the IC.

      Hi Henrik,

      for solving the equation for "seconds" you will need to use the T(out) equation which will provide you the ON/OFF delay in seconds from the selected output pin of the IC.

      Rt is the resistor involved with pin#10, Ct is the capacitor at pin#9…"n" is the serial number of the preferred output pin which you can find from the datasheet of the IC….for example the first pinout in the sequence is pin#7 (Q3) while the last is pin#3 (Q13)….if you selected pin#3 then N will correspond to "13"

      and Ct will be in Fradas

    Dear Swagatam, my name is Stevan and I spend more than 20 hours on your site, searching for a circuit I need… My knowledge is not enough to figure which circuit I can use and I tried with many of them… If you have time, I would be very grateful if you could help me and design circuit. I need timer circuit which will allow me to chose for how long it will stay ON (3-10 sec) and how many times it will repeit that action during 7 days (1-7 times / once in a week, twice in a week, every day etc). I need it for controling 9-12V electro motor. Thank you very much in advance!

    Thanks for publishing this circuit. I'm using it on a boat to turn on the illumination for a switch panel, running at 12V. I've replaced the buzzer with a PNP transistor that switches the real load (the panel back lights) when Q14 (pin 3) is low, and turns it off when the pin goes HIGH…and this works just fine.
    So, when I push the momentary (reset) button, the lights come on for a period of time, long enough for me to find the panel switch I am interested in and turn it on or off.
    Now I am wondering if there is a way of turning off the lights BEFORE the timer expires? What I'd like is a second momentary switch that would drive the Q14 (pin 3) HIGH and keep it HIGH until the first button was pressed again.
    Any ideas?

      You are welcome!

      You can try putting a push-to-on momentary switch across the end terminals of P1/R2.

      When you press this, C1 will quickly discharge making pin3 go high and latch the circuit….I think this would work

    I've modified the circuit to run off 12 volts and it works just great. Thanks for putting up the post. I am using this to illuminate a switch panel – the idea is that you press a momentary button and the switch panel back lights will turn on for a period of time…enough time to find the switch you want and turn it on/off. I was also thinking of adding another momentary switch that would turn the lights off even if the timer hadn't expired. However, I haven't managed to figure out how to do this. Another way of describing this is that I want the Q14 (pin 3) to go high (and stay high) when I toggle the second switch.
    Any ideas on how this could be done?

    Hi, thanks,
    through trial and error find an appropriate resistor value and replace R2/P1 with it. You can also try higher values for C1, increasing them to some higher level would give you the required timing.
