Accurate timebase

Design Tip

Published in issue 354, May 2006

This circuit demonstrates how easily a timebase can be designed using a minimum number of components. This circuit consists of no more than an IC and an oscillator to which a few connections and decoupling stuff are added.
Use is made of a single IC from the 4000 series, the type 4521 oscillator / counter with 24 steps. Here we only use the counter section of the IC.
