Gated clock has duty-cycle control - 08/17/00 EDN Design Ideas: The circuit in Figure 1 produces clock pulses with variable duty cycle from a gated clock. The output of the circuit, pulse, is always 180° out of phase with the clock input. When the delay-logic elements, IC 5 and IC 7, have the same propagation delays, the duty cycle of the circuit's output is 50%.

LED Clock with Timer & Solar Panel Regulator - This is a combination digital clock timer and solar panel charge controller used to maintain a deep cycle battery from a solar panel. The timer output is used to control a 12 volt load for a 32 minute time interval each day. Start time is set using 9 dip switches and ends 32 minutes later. The 32 minute duration is set by selecting the 5th bit (2^5 = 32) of a 4040 binary counter (pin 2). The timer also has a manual toggle switch so the load can be manually switched on or off and automatically shuts off after 32 minutes__ Designed by Bill Bowden

Modeller’s Clock - The special feature of this analogue wall clock is that it uses a standard model servo to tell the time. The display principle is the same as for an ordinary wall clock, but with two important differences. A standard model servo is unable to cover a travel of 360°, so we’ll need to adapt the clock face to this situationmust register on this site__ Designed by Published in Elecktor July/Augu, 2010

Motorized Duck Decoy Timer - I received a nice email from a duck hunter. He uses some motorized decoys to lure ducks into his line of fire. However, the battery powered decoys only have an on/off switch so once turned on; the decoy flaps its wings or paddles around continuously. The hunter wanted a more realistic motion, which would power the motor for say 10 seconds, then stop for another 10 seconds before starting up again. The simple circuit below should work well for his application . . . Hobby Circuit designed by David Johnson P.E.-August 30,2011
Nixie-Clock using Neon Lamps to form Logic Gates - The above shows my home-built digital clock. It uses Nixie-tubes for readout. In contrast to most other nixie-clocks being built these days, my clock does not use any transistor or IC for driving the tubes. Instead, the driving logic is built from neon lamps, together with resistors, capacitors and silicon diodes. __ Contact: pa3fwm @ amsat.org

On/Off Flip/Flop Circuit with Automatic Timeout - This circuit is ideal when a device needs to be turned on and off with a single pushbutton switch, but also needs to turn itself off after some period of time. With the components shown, the output will stay on for only about 20 seconds . . . Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.-December 16,2004
On/off Pushbutton Switch with 30 Minute Timeout - I received an email from a Discover Circuits visitor. He wanted to control power to a LED camping light he was building. He wanted to turn the light on and off with a small pushbutton switch. He also wanted a timer so the light would not stay on longer than 30 minutes at a time. It seems that his kids often turned lights on when going to bed and then forgot to turn them off . . . Circuit by David Johnson P.E.-January 08,2012
Oscilloscope CRT Clock - Apparently I'm in the shameful habit of making clocks in my spare time. First it was the Weston voltmeter clock, and then "Nixie 1, " a single-digit Nixie clock. Since soon after finishing the latter, I'vebeen daydreaming about making a clock out of an electrostatic deflection CRT—the kind of thing you find in an oscilloscope. Given that I'vejust come across some free time in the form of Christmas vacation 2005, I decided to make one of my own__ Designed by © 2007 Riad S. Wahby

PIC Digital Clock Timer - This clock timer uses a PIC 16F628 microcontroller to display 3 and 1/2 digit time and control an external load. The clock includes a calendar with leap year and optional daylight savings adjustments. The timer output can be set from 1 to 59 minutes and manually switched on and off. The clock also has a correction feature that allows an additional second to be added every so many hours to compensate for a slightly slow running oscillator. The oscillator uses a common 32.768 KHz watch crystal and the frequency can be adjusted slightly with the 24pF capacitor on the right side of the crystal__ Designed by Bill Bowden

Programmable Divider Restores SVGA Pixel Clock - 03/28/96 EDN Design Ideas: if you've tried to design a video-overlay board that works with super-video-graphics-adapter (SVGA) graphics through a feature connector, you've probably noticed that the frequency of the supplied clock signal is not always equal to the pixel-clock frequency. In high-color modes (32, 000, 64, 000, and 16 million colors) , the clock usually runs at 2 or 3x the pixel frequency. You can restore the pixel clock by using a simple programmable divider, as opposed to the more complex PLL circuit used in many video-overlay boards. Figure 1 shows the divider circuit Design by Piotr Mazur, Wikom, Warsaw, Poland
