http://www.electronicecircuits.com/electronic-circuits/cd4060-timer-circuit-1-minute-to-2-hours I've replicated the circuit in the given link but \$D_2\$ in my circuit doesn't work at all. Also, the relay doesn't operate. I tried unplugging the relay. LED \$D_1\$ is normally working and blinks with a time interval which I can change using \$VR_1\$.

  • \$\begingroup\$ No, there isn't. \$\endgroup\$

Yes, dear people of stackexchange, I want to thank you all for your time and effort, you helped me to a great extent to understand this circuit, and general electronics. And I want to apologise for my unmutable idiocity. Bruce was right, my chip couldn't supply enough current. Because i didn't supply it any current at all. After trying many different circuits and having a night's sleep, i managed to connect Pin 16 to 9V input.

Are you waiting long enough for the output at Pin 3 to turn on? It would be 1/1024 the rate of the D1 signal, or 1024 x the duration.
