We did not choose a pin that has much wider pulse output like pin 2, which will stay high for 10 seconds (for every minute) because it interfered with time setting.įor every one minute, the buttons will not respond for 10 seconds because the input pulse pin is pulled high. This 250 ns (typical) signal width is enough to trigger other digital ICs in the circuit too, these ICs are designed to operate at MHz frequency (maximum) so just imagine how short the pulses would be. Now the Q6 is connected to reset pin, while resetting the IC the Q6 will stay high for a minimum of 250 ns only then the IC accepts it as a reset signal. The pulse duration of “high” of Q6 is constant during every reset-cycle and it is predictable.Īccording to IC 4017 datasheet the reset pin or any input pin needs a minimum pulse width of 250 ns (at 5V Vcc).
DIGITAL CLOCK MINI GENERATOR
The 1 min pulse generator was purposefully made to give out a pulse from Q6 (left-most 4017) that connects to reset pin 15. He not only successfully replicated 12hrs clock project but also able to modify it to 24 clock and added some useful features. I would like to thank the guy with the username “kuma” for sharing his 24 hour clock design. Here we are going to discuss 24 hour digital clock design using IC 555 and IC 4026.

If it didn’t work at first attempt don’t give up. Once the main circuit connections are done now connect the all 4 seven segment displays to four IC 4026s. Finish any one of the colors first and move on to next, this will ensure that all the connections are done properly. The main circuit wiring is smartly indicated with colors: Red, black, green, pink, yellow, blue and cyan (clock input). You can wire the circuit without any mistake by finishing a bunch of wires of with same colors as shown in the schematic.

Wiring the circuit is the tedious part of this project and connecting a single wire incorrectly can mess the project. Release the button for incrementing one digit, long pressing will not increment Two push buttons, one for hours and one for minutes. When its two inputs are HIGH if any one or both the inputs are LOW the output Pin #1 and 2 are input and pin #3 is output,.Logic AND gate, it has 4 gates we are using just one of them. Signal to increment the counts, this is provided by the below circuit which NOTE: This clock circuit will show 12:00 as 00:00 at midnight and also at noon. IC7), when the clock reads 12 the pin numbers 2 and 4 of IC6 and IC7 respectivelyīecomes HIGH and rest the IC1 and IC2 (4026s) to count “00”. The input for AND gate is provided by two IC 4017s (IC6 and The AND gate’s output goes HIGH when its two Three IC 4017 which are decade counters, it tracks the time and reset the ICĤ026’s count to “00” when the minute digit reaches 60.ĪND gate IC 7408 in this circuit which is used for resetting the hour digits to

Of 4 seven segment display driver IC 4026 which can display 0 to 9 on commonĬathode 7 segment display, one IC controls one 7 segment display. We will be using only basic CMOS ICs and pure logic to build the circuit, yet this circuit can be easily replicated by beginners in electronics.Ĭircuit Diagram for 7 Segment Display Digital Clock:ĭownload high resolution image of the above circuit diagram: click here This is a SMALL STYLE design clock, please kindly note the size is 3.9''*1.9''*1.1'', Please DON'T imagine the size according to the picture.In this post we are going to build a 12 hour – 7 segment display digital clock without any microcontroller.
