TIMER CIRCUIT

PURPOSE:To reduce energy consumption by switching a supplied voltage to a timer and an oscillating means to generate clocks for timer to various high and low values corresponding to operating states. CONSTITUTION:A voltage switching means 7 is provided to switch the supplied voltage of a power feeder line 6a to a timer 1 to various high and low values corresponding to the operating states. On the other hand, a voltage switching means 8 is provided to switch the supplied voltage of a power feeder line 6b to an oscillating means 2 to generate the clocks for timer to various high and low values corresponding to the operating states. Further, a control means 5 is provided to control both of these voltage switching means 7 and 8, and a boosting means 9 is provided at the output terminal of the timer 1.
