Lee Crock 15-Minute Timer Circuit

This circuit diagram shows a timer circuit using an MC14521 CMOS multivibrator chip (U1) that will output a signal every 15 minutes. It uses a LM7812 voltage regulator (U2) to supply power to the circuit from 10 D-cell batteries. The MC14521 chip is configured so that its pin 14 output will change state approximately every 15 minutes. Resistors R1, R2, and R3 set the timing intervals for the different output pins on the MC14521 chip.

NOTES:

~ 4.66kHz
* Vary the value for R2 slightly to achieve 15 minute
cycling at U1 pin14 and/or 4.66kHz oscillation at U1 pin4.

Outputs change state every:


U1-10 = 56sec
U1-11 = 112sec
U1-12 = 3.75min
U1-13 = 7.5min
U1-14 = 15min
U1-15 = 30min
U1-1 = 60min

J1 DC input should be 14VDC minimum under load.


Entire circuit should cost about $10 for parts (excluding batteries
and mesh).
