An electronic timer having a parallel unit, a current detecting unit, and a time measuring unit. The parallel unit is formed of a plurality of aging devices connected in parallel and configured to be turned on or off for a predetermined time after storing electric charges. Each aging device is a transistor which includes a floating gate. The current detecting unit detects a sum current flowing in the parallel unit when a voltage is applied between input and output terminals of the parallel unit. The time measuring unit measures a time required to resume the supplying of power after the interruption of power supplying, from the sum current detected by the current detecting unit.
