The circuit that has been used is shown in picture 1. Through the experimental part we will ex order to have a notion of the basic idea, let just say, that this circuit besides the 5V power su from a crystal. The crystalpulse is devided properly in order to obtain the 1 Hz pulse which w s properly, and display the seconds on the 7 segment displays, through a procedure which we part.

We will begin the description of the digital circuit above. For our convenience we generator, which produces the pulse of the desired frequency, and the part that does the actual

crystal which oscillates at a frequency of 4,194,304MHz. It is obvious that this frequency is completely useless, as it is too big to be used as it is to our circuit. What we should is devide this frequency, in a way that in its final form, the pulse will have a frequency of 1Hz, which is the desirable frequency. Initially we use the integrated CD4060, which devides the imported frequency in its input, by forces of 2. As we can see on the integrated circuit the outputs are marked as Q4, Q5, Qn. By importing a pulse in the CLK input of the 4060, with a frequency f Hz, we take out of output Qn, a signal which has a frequency equal to f/2n,. So, by exporting the signal out of Q14, knowing that the imported

By importing this signal through Q8 we have at the frequency of 1Hz. Th firstly doesn t affect the pr secondly is due to the inv can see. This inversion jus be triggered with a logical 0 output, we have a visual of pulse the diode polarizes through it.

Counter: The signal of 1Hz, which we have taken from the generator, is imported to a BCD counter MC14518. This integrated circuit adds a logical at each pulse, on 1 its output.. .The MC14518 is virtually divided into two segment. One counts the units of the seconds, while the other the decades. As we can see in picture 1, the generators pulse is imported to the part which counts the units. This is very logical, as we want in each secont the number of the display to be raised by 1. On the other hand, we want the first display to raise by 1, every 10 seconds. This is why, we ground the CLK input, and we use the signal of Q3 to the CKE input.

By using this means, we will be triggered, only when Q3; that is, only when the logical As we can see, t 0 . 10 seconds, which mean display (1001 on the display must be set to +1. That is that from descending pulse, as the la to logical and triggers th 0 When the decades displa goes to the next state, w begins once more.

The integrated circuits MC14511 are BCD to 7 segment drivers. As its name clearly state, their

The LE input (Latch Enable) is used to keep the number of the displays while the pu similar to the one of the modern stopwatches. In addition, at any given moment we can restart the counting, by pressing the reset swi input of the MC14518 to logical which resets the counting to 0000. 1 , Also check the Digital Stopwatch 0-60sec
