How to Build a Simple Digital Clock Circuit Explained

The digital time clock described let me share a circuit which most electronic amateurs would absolutely love to create.

You could have learned about digital clocks created from clock ICs for example the popular LM8361, MM5387 etc however these ICs could possibly be these days quite outdated and/or complicated to develop.
The current design is significantly simpler without any lower than their previously listed alternatives when it comes to characteristic and specifications. Furthermore there is certainly one added advantage incorporated into this digital clock circuit, it really is Duplex LED display model, which will help to decrease the variety of connections and links across the IC1 (LM8560) along with the LED display, enabling the configuration to be much easier.
Right now let's find out how the offered digital clock circuit features:






As might be observed in the presented diagram the heart of the circuit is made by the IC1 (LM8560),
that could be designated with the following outputs terminals:
1. The output for driving the display Duplex Model numbers (pin 1-14)
2. The output for producing an alarm signal at pin 16.
3. The output choice which can be employed for managing external electrical devices by means of an in-built automatic timer.
The parts R1, C1 belonged in the circuit to be able to assist an input 50 Hz clock to pin25 of the IC.
The diodes D1, D2 are located as rectifiers to work as signal generators to the cathode of display number for producing an alternating functioning of the display illumination with regard to the input of IC1.
The alarm signal from pin 16 of IC1, is connected with a potentiometer P1(Volume) together with further built-in with pin 3 of IC2 (LM386) which shapes the amplifier phase for driving a loudspeaker throughout alarm activations.
The P1 is insured to be able to offer an excellent tuning choice for the alarm signal volume. Furthermore the signal from the "sleep" pinout from pin 17 can be utilized for managing some other preferred activate circuit.
How you can set the time in this digital clock
1. S6 is employed to set hours.
2. S4 is employed to set minutes.
To set the alarm time the following switches can be utilized:
1. S3 to hold down the time
2. S5 to set hours for the alarm.
3. S4 to set minutes for the alarmm.
As soon as the previously listed time limit by means of S4/S5 elapses, the alarm may begin ringing which can be quit by pressing switch S2 or in reality some other switch out of the presented types.
The following switches can be utilized for managing an external equipment from the clock generates.
1. In the beginning you might need to maintain switch S6 pressed
2. Next press S4 to set minutes.
3. Press switch S5 to set hours.
The output signal for the above described ON/OFF control of devices might be obtained from pin17 of the IC.
Utilizing time dilation alarm to repeat alarm.
To be able to utilize this performance in the event we would like to Repeat alarm or to prolonged for another nine minutes, you might want to press switch S7.
