Oscillator frequency control. Rt and Ct control the
frequency of the clock oscillator. The period of oscillation is
nominally given by t = RtCt with the overall time period given
by T = 4096 RtCt. However, the following formula is believed
to give a more accurate forecast of the overall time interval
provided by the circuit for values of Rt between 200K and 2M
and values of Ct between 1nF and 1uF.
Formula : T = 4.1 10e-3 (RT * (RT/150)*2.7) *CT.
Pin 2 : GND
Ground : Most negative supply terminal.
Pin 3 : RELAY
Relay output driver. Open collector drive from a Darlington
transistor rated. Icmax = 400mA and Vmax = 18V. The relay
driver output is on (low) during the time period.
APPLICATION
Pin 4 : TOGGLE
On/Off Control. A positive going voltage transition on this
input toggles the timer between the On and Off state. If the
timer is On and timing, it may be turned off by a positive going
signal on the toggle pin before the time delay has elapsed.
Pin 5 : VCC
Positive supply terminal. The timer requires a supply
voltage of 5 to 18V applied to Vcc through Rs. An internal 7V
zener limits the Vcc terminal voltage. Cs is included to provide
supply rail decoupling.
Recommended values of Rs and Cs on a standard 12V
vehicle system are Rs = 1KOhm and Cs = 100nF.
This is the standard operation of this circuit requiring the
minimum of extra components.
The ON/OFF switch is a non-latching push button (or
similar), illuminated by a lamp in parallel with the rear window
defogger. Rin protects the toggle input from supply line
transients with a nominal of Rin = 10KΩ. The relay is intended
to be a standard automotive relay (Rnom = 60Ω) with contacts
rated appropriately for the defogger controlled. Dz with a
nominal value of 16V +-5% is included to provide protection of

Rt
the relay drive output transistor against relay turn-off and
supply lines transients.
The type of zener used is dependent of the level of
protection required. An MZD16 will provide adequate
protection for all relay turn-off and low energy supply
transients, while a P6KE16A will provide full protection against
all known transients. If the relay output is to be connected in
any other way or to a non-standard relay, the maximum ratings
quoted under the General Description above should be noted.
The circuit shown demonstrates the use of the timer to
provide a delay in turning the courtesy light off after the
vehicle doors are closed. The components are the same as
the defogger timer and Rt, Ct, Rs and Cs are as described in
the general description above, while Dz and Rin are
described in the description of the defogger timer. S1 to Sn
represent the doors switches which can be basically the
same as for a conventional system, except that only the relay
coil current and not the full lamp current passes through
them.
The operation of the circuit is as follows :
While one of the door switches is closed, the courtesy
light is on with the relay current flowing through the switch.
Figure 2. Courtesy Light Timer Operation
As soon as the last switch is opened, the energy stored in
the relay coil causes the common connection of the switches
to rise to the voltage permitted by the clamp consisting of Dz
(approximately 16V).
This provides a toggle input via Rin, causing the relay
output of the integrated circuit to go low, thus keeping the
relay energised for the period preset, with the direct
connection to Rin ensuring that any switch bounce or noise
during this period cannot cause toggle input to be detected.
Retriggering at the end of the timing period is prevented by
the built in the debounce timer.
This circuit is designed to just use the toggle and relay
drive feature of the long duration timer.
The functions of components Rs, Cs, Rt, Ct, Rin and Dz
are as previously described. Although the circuit is not
intended to be allowed to time out, Rt and Ct need to be
included as it is necessary for the timer to run for the internal
debounce timer to be reset.
The control switch S1 needs to be a normally closed
momentary type.
While it is closed, D1 ensures that the oscillator does not
run, while R1 ensures that D1 is reverse biassed when the
switch is operated (open). C1 is included to provide a time
constant RinC1 to delay the detection of a toggle input.
Thus the operation of the circuit is as follows :
When S1 is operated, the oscillator is allowed to start ; the
toggle input is then recognised and the relay output changes
state assuming that the switch has been released, the
oscillator is stopped and the sequence above can be
repeated.
Figure 3. Relay Drive and Latch (No Timeout
If the switch is held operated for 9 seconds, with the
values recommended below, after it has been used to switch
the relay on the circuit will time out and the relay switch off.
No further action takes place until the circuit is reset by
releasing the button.
If the switch is held operated after it has been used to
switch the relay off, nothing happens until the circuit is reset
by releasing the button.
Recommended values :
Rs = 1KΩ
Cs = 100nF
Rt = 220KΩ
Ct = 10nF
Rin = 100KΩ
R1 = 1KΩ
C1 = 220nF
Dz = MZD16
D1 = 1N4148
Note that the time constant RtCt and RinC1 are related
(start up time and basic frequency of oscillator/switch to
toggle delay time) and need to stay in the ratio (1:10).
