Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Line Powered 60hz Clock Generator -  This circuit is connected to the 120vac power line and transfers 60Hz clock pulses to a logic circuit. The optoisolator used provides 5000 volts of isolation between the power line and the logic side of the circuit . . . [Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.,  02/23/99] 

  • Long Period Computer Watch Dog Timer -  This circuit uses a simple 4060 IC oscillator/timer that is reset periodically by a computer. Should the computer fail to send a pulse, the output changes state. The time can easily be set from seconds to hours . . . [Circuit by David Johnson P.E.,  01/01/98] 

  • Low Power Oscillators -  This page has two unusual two-transistor oscillators.   I set the component values for a low frequency application.   Both circuits draw only about 1 microamp of current. … [Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P. E. , 9/16/07] . . . [Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.,  12/14/02]

Low-Power Interrupt Updates Real-Time Clock -  07/07/94 EDN Design Idea   Some µP-based systems need a real-time clock. The µP's built-in timer can do the work, but it usually requires several milliamps of current to keep the timer running. If the main power drops, the clock requires a backup battery t. . .  [by Yongping Xia, EBT Inc, Torrance, CA]
