Singing Arc using KA7500B. Making Very Accurate Timers - Electronics. Find out about how to make very accurate electronic timers home > electronicsWe have previously published many articles about electronic timers - ranging from short interval timers using the common 555 IC, long interval (multi-hour) timers using a 4060B binary counter IC, and repeat timer circuits which use both. We have also looked at commercial 12V programmable timer switches, and how battery powered programmable thermostats can be modified to operate as (more affordable) equivalents. In this article we will look into how an accurate timer can be put together which will keep good time for weeks or months at a time.
