CMOS 4047 Digital Clock Circuit

Back to the British Amateur Electronics Club.

This circuit provides a digital square wave that can be viewed directly or used to drive other circuits. It used the CMOS 4047 Low-Power Monostable/Astable Multivibrator. As used in Tom Duncan's Adventures with Digital Electronic's Book, to drive CMOS Decade of 4-bit binary counters.

RC = 10M x 100nF = (10x10⁶) x (100x10^-9) = 1 Hz

Osc_Out (Double Frequency of Q)
_
Q (Inverse of Q)

Q (Square Wave, Frequency RC Hz, 1:1 Mark:Space Ratio)

These 3 outputs can be viewed using an LED and 330R Resitor in series.
