DIGITAL STOPWATH CIRCUIT USING COUNTERS

Abstract:
Our project is a digital design for a stopwatch circuit. In this
project, we used several digital and electronic components in order
to build this circuit, for example, the components we used
is 4033 IC , 555 IC and some resistors and capacitors, this
stopwatch circuit is very accurate in measuring the start and stop
time, and to make sure that the circuit we designed is working very
well, we make a simulation for this circuit in Proteus Software.

1. Introduction
Stopwatches find use as time keeping devices in many fields, namely sports.
Stopwatches may be analog or digital. Digital stopwatches are much more
common the analog version owing to their higher accuracy and ease of use. With
reference to we crack tried to realize a digital stopwatch of reasonable accuracy
and reliability. This particular stopwatch can count up to 9 minutes and 59.9
seconds .It is error-free up to one tenth of a second. The round is relatively simple
and easy to realize .The main ingredient of the subdue is an a stable mv followed
by counter and decoder stages. The overcome us explained extensively in the
following pages.The blend operates on 5-v dc supply. It uses a seven segment LED
display of common anode type show time.
What is a stop watch?
A stopwatch is a handheld timepiece designed to measure the amount of time
elapsed from a particular time when it is activated to the time when the piece is
deactivated. A large digital version of a stopwatch designed for viewing at a
distance, as in a sports stadium, is called a stop clock

2. Simulation Study
Now, we will make simulation in proteus software:
Step 1: Open proteus software.

3. Results and discussion

In this circuit we endeavour used a 555 timer IC based a-stable multivibrator
which is for creating 1 second delay.
And join common cathode seven segment decoder IC’s namely CD4033.
The produce of a-stable multivibrator is speedily mundane to seven segment
decoder IC’s (U4) Clock pin (1) and carry output pin(5) of U4 IC is directly
connected to clock pin (1) of second seven segment decoder(U3). And combine
seven segment are connected with these decoder (U3 and U4). Its connections
are shown in stopwatch circuit diagram given below.
Team a few move device is used to stop /start the stopwatch and one push
button is used to reset the stopwatch. A 5 volt voltage regulator is used for
providing 5 volt to whole circuit. And a 9 volt battery is used for powering the
circuit. Match of connections are shown in the circuit diagram.

4. Summary
° In this nab watch circuit we have generated one second delay by have recourse
to 555 timer based a absolute multivibrator. By using some Consequence we can
easily generates one second delay. In a stable multivibrator here is two resisters
and one capacitor is responsible for delay by charging or discharging capacitor
through resistors. Calculation formula for generating delay for a stable
multivibrator is given below. F=1/T= 1.44/(R1 2R2) C1
° In this project we have selected R1 is 33K, R2 is 56K and C1 is 10uF. [Also take
into custody: 1 minute timer circuit]
° Ass A-stable multi-vibrator generates one seconds delay, this delay is oscillations
or pulse of 0 and 1. Hence we spinal column reckoning this pulse for triggering the
seven segment decoder then seven segment decoder changes the digit number
with the one second of time period.
° Instantaneously we ON the stopwatch (by start/stop button) it start counting
from zero and if we turned OFF the same button then counting is stop or pause
until again turned ON the same button or press reset button.

Digital Stopwatch Applications:

This circuit can be used as an indicator at quiz competitions.
Digital Stopwatch Limitations:
The batter does shriek appearance the factual life-span, but actually the intercept of
aspect pulses.
The profit of digital cease ICs produces an epoch catch in the unabated make
believe, for the sake of the good manners stall.
