Aim

  1. Using Multisim to design digital clock circuit, which should show 24 min and 60 second, like a real clock
  2. use the component to assemble the real circuit in breadboard.
  3. [extension]17 minute beeper beep at 1KHz every minute

Component

  1. 555
  2. CD4510 : decimal counter
  3. CD4011 : 2 in 4 NAND gate
  4. CD4511 : 7 segments decoder
  5. 4 Common cathode digital tube

Design

555

use RC Oscillation circuit to generate the 1KHz square wave

  • simulate the output in Multisim Oscilloscope

CD4510

use 3 of them to divide the frequency

  • clk port as input
  • co port as output
  • since decimal, every 10 the next get 1

Second Counter

also cd4510, use 2 and 1 cd4011

  • the 2 4510 composite as a decimal
  • cd4011 just judge if the first 4510 is 6(0x0110)
  • get Q2 and Q3 to NAND to judge if they are both 1
  • if both 1
    • put output 1 to cr of 4510 and reset the 2 4510
    • put 1 in the minute counter

Minute Counter

same like second counter, 2 cd4510 and the same 4011

  • judge if the first is 2(0x0010), the second is 4(0x0100)
  • need the first Q3, and the second Q2
  • if both 1
    • reset the 2 cd4510

Decoder

use each 1 cd4511 for a digital tube, great compatibility with digital tube.

  • like input 4 is 0x0100(4), outputs connect to f,g,b,c are 1(High), the others are 0(Low)

Extension

judge if the minute is 17 (0x0001 & 0x111)

use 1 cd4012(4 input NAND gate)

  • if first Q4 and second Q2,Q3,Q4 all 1, set 1Y as 1

  • also the 555 1kHz input as another precondition

  • set the other 2 to high

  • if 2Y is 1

    set transistor 1, then the beeper circuit works
