 Security System using Logic Gates
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to design and implement a 4-bit passcode system. Using the
XOR gate functionality of comparing two bits, we can connect two LEDs to give a green or
red light on pressing a pushbutton

ABSTRACT
The idea is of this system is that the 4 switches "Key Code Switches" acts as holding the
correct password for unlocking the lock. On the other hand, the other 4 switches "Data Entry
Switches" acts as data entry points where the code is to be entered to open the lock. The "Key
Code Switches” have static value and is hidden from the person who is trying to open the
lock. If the person who is trying to open the lock enters the code at “Data Entry Switches”
which is similar to the code kept static at the "Key Code Switches" then the green LED will
light up and the lock will open while, if he enters the wrong code then the red LED will light
up which shows that the wrong person is unlocking the lock.

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM

IMPLEMENTED CIRCUIT:

PROCEDURE
i. Install the IC’s and the resistors neatly on the bread board
ii. Wire the pins 7 and 14 of all IC’s to GND and Vcc respectively.

iii. Wire one end of the switches with Vcc.

iv. Wire one end of the resistors to GND.

v. Now connect the other end of the switches to the resistors and wire it to the gates of XOR
IC.

vi. Now the output of the XOR is sent as inputs in the OR and NOR IC and is grounded with
the help of resistor simultaneously.

vii. Connect the LED lights (green and red) and ground then with the help of resistors.

PRECAUTIONS

i. Always check to see that the power switch is OFF before plugging into the outlet. Also,
turn instrument or equipment OFF before unplugging from the outlet.

ii. Check the IC’s before using them in the circuit.

iii. The wiring must be neat and clean.

iv. Do not use battery more than 12V, or it might result in causing damage to the LED’s.

CONCULSION:
Using our knowledge of logic gates, LEDs etc, we have made this security passcode
system. We used XOR, OR, and NOR gates. This security system can also be used in:
• Industrial areas such as offices and factories.
• Residential homes and garages.
• Commercial premises including shops, restaurants, and hotels. • High-security areas such as
banks, ATMs, lockers, etc.
• Storage and warehouse facilities.
The basic logic gates are used in many circuits:The basic logic gates are used in many circuits
like a push button lock, light activated burglar alarm, safety thermostat, an automatic
watering system etc. Digital communication cannot happen without logic operations.
