 PREFACE

Microcontroller find use in numerous automation applications such as automatic street light
control, watering and pump control, HVAC, home automation, power plants automation in
industries, etc. Microcontroller can be interfaced with various types of devices such as 7 segment
LED display ADC, LCD etc to perform various useful operations. The interfacing of
microcontroller with 7 segment LED display can also be used for controlling timing operations of
digital timer.

A Digital StopWatch counts the time intervals according to its count (time delay) set by controller
and display it on display devices like LCD, seven segment LED display etc. Digital StopWatch is
used in various applications like in road traffic signals , in digital clocks, digital alarms etc.
