Control circuit for providing time selected application of A.C. power

A control circuit for providing time selected outputs of A.C. power including:

• an A.C. powered D.C. voltage supply;
• a solid-state, 7-day, 24-hour clock connected to said D.C. voltage supply and operative in response to timing pulses and having time indicating outputs;
• a crystal controlled time base generator connected to said A.C. powered D.C. voltage supply and connected to said clock for providing timing pulses to said clock;
• means responsive to A.C. power and operatively connected to said time base generator for providing a pulse for each cycle of A.C. power to said time base generator for synchronizing the operation of said generator;
• programmable control circuitry having a control signal output, said programmable control circuitry selectively connectable to said time indicating outputs for alternately providing initiating and terminating signals at said control signal output in accordance with times presented by said clock at said time indicating outputs corresponding to select connections when made between said time indicating outputs and said programmable control circuitry;
• and
• a solid-state A.C. power switching means having a control input, an A.C. power input and an A.C. power output, said control input connected to said control signal output of said programmable control circuitry, said switching means providing a conductive path for A.C. power from said A.C. power input to said A.C. power output in accordance with said initiating and terminating signals provided at said control signal output of said programmable control circuitry.
