Project Description

This project utilising key concept in Digital Systems Design to create a large 7-segment based display which shows time and incorporates an interface for time setting. To achieve this, Decade Counter Integrated Circuits (ICs) are used to create a clock which ticks accurately once every second.

This allows the circuitry to count and display seconds, minutes and hours through six (6) 7-segment displays. The circuitry involves components such as

Seven Segment Display & Driver

Logic Gates: AND, NAND, OR

Buzzer, Buttons, Connectors

Counters, Timers

D-Flip-flop

which are essential in ensuring clock accuracy, smooth segment activation (display), and a user-friendly interface for time setting.

Throughout the project, Logisim was used for the design and simulation of our digital clock circuitry. Additionally, the design of our schematic and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) was achieved using the EasyEDA software.
