The following scheme is the clock generator circuit diagram which build based on NAND Gate logic IC. You may use IC 7400 or 4011 for this circuit. The 7400 is a Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) type, while 4011 is Complementary metal?oxide?semiconductor (CMOS) type. IC 4011 is cheaper than 7400 but the 7400 is faster than 4011.
Circuit Notes:
- Excellent clock generator to drive 4017 type CMOS circuits.
- R1 = 10K to 10M, C1 = 100pF to 47uF.
- Fo is ? 1KHz when R1 = 100K and C1 = 10nF.
- You must use regulated 5V input voltage for 7400, while CMOS 4011 can be from 5 to 15V. Regulated power supply with LM7805 will be great to supply this circuit (with 7400).
