Introduction
The age of computers started with large and heavy devices that mostly occupy a
Lot of space. An example would be the ENIAC computer which weigh a lot and almost
Take up the whole building. It has a computing power of one thousand times that of
Electro-mechanical machines. The invention of different components that made big
Machine into smaller ones started in a transistor. A BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) and
Many others components were innovated and combined into an IC (Integrated Circuit.
Things became convenient in such a way that it can be handled easily.

The mechanical ages of timers also became digital. These clockwork

Mechanisms that were precise in keeping track of time was developed into a digital
Timer. In this project, different kinds of integrated circuits are used to generate an output
Display through LEDs, with the use of segment displays for 0-19 counts.

A Filipino also worked hard in developing his research towards this

Semiconductors. Diosdado Banatao, a filipino researcher, said to be the Father of
Semiconductor and the Filipino Bill Gates, is now working in the Silicon Valley. He had
Contributions in the industry. He started a company in the United States developing
System logic chip set for computers and the invention of a local bus. A great man to look
Upon and through his goals he became successful.

I.1. The project

The purpose of this 0 to 99 is to provide basic information that one needs to know in order to
be able to use microcontroller successfully in practice. This chapter, therefore, doesnt
contain any super interesting program or device schematic with amazing solutions.
I.2. Project Objectives
To show how to build a 0 99 counter circuits and to learn the function of logic gates,
Resistor, Potentiometer, and connecting Wires. Also how to understand and work on a
schematic diagram, to learn how each part how they responds to each other, and to learn and
work as a Group.
I.3. Project Development
First we gathered the needed materials, we also look the Data sheet to easily find the pin
configuration of each ICs. We as the students we need to build and show a 0-99 counter
enable to practice we have learn in our Course CPE 004 (Logic circuits).
We then simulate to find what ICs to use and what are the values of the potentiometer,
Resistor, Capacitor and What DC source to use. It is important to know what type of seven
segment to use if it is common-anode or common-cathode.

Design Input
2. 1DESIGN STANDARD
In this project we are limited to display a 0-99 counts in the seven-segment display. We
used a 5V dc supply. And also we use small value of capacitor to have enough speed to count. So
that the user will see the counts. We use the 555 timer to reset the counts from 9 to 0. The 7490 IC

is the one to output binary number from 0-9. The 7447 is the one to deliver the display to the
seven-segment.

2.2. Software Requirements

2.2.1 NI Multisim:
NI Multisim is a powerful schematic capture and simulation environment that
engineers, students, and professors can use to simulate electronic circuits and prototype
Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). This article shows you how to capture, simulate, and
layout your first design in Multisim.

2.3. Hardware Requirements

Connecting wire

DESCRIPTION
Connecting wire is a piece of wire used to attach two circuits or components together. The gauge or size
of the wire must be large enough to support the amount of current flow

Breadboard

DESCRIPTION
A breadboard is a construction base for prototyping of electronics. Originally it was literally a bread board,
a polished piece of wood used for slicing bread.
A breadboard is used to build and test circuits quickly before finalizing any circuit design. The breadboard
has many holes into which circuit components like ICs and resistors can be inserted.
The bread board has strips of metal which run underneath the board and connect the holes on the top of
the board. The metal strips are laid out as shown below. Note that the top and bottom rows of holes are
connected horizontally while the remaining holes are connected vertically.

Resistor

DESCRIPTION

An electronic component that resists the flow of current in an electronic circuit. Resistors are often made
out of chunks of carbon or thin films of carbon or other resistive materials. They can also be made of wires
wound around a cylinder. The common resistor is a two-wire package with a fixed resistance measured in
ohms; however, different types of resistors are adjustable by the circuit designer or the user

BATTERY

DESCRIPTION

An electric battery is a device consisting of two or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical
energy into electrical energy. Each cell has a positive terminal, or cathode, and a negative terminal,
or anode. The terminal marked positive is at a higher electrical potential energy than is the terminal marked
negative. The terminal marked positive is the source of electrons that when connected to an external circuit
will flow and deliver energy to an external device. When a battery is connected to an external
circuit, Electrolytes are able to move as ions within, allowing the chemical reactions to be completed at the
separate terminals and so deliver energy to the external circuit.

Electrolytic Capacitor

DESCRIPTION

An electrolytic capacitor is a type of capacitor that uses an electrolyte to achieve a larger capacitance than
other capacitor types. An electrolyte is a liquid or gel containing a high concentration of ions. Almost all
electrolytic capacitors are polarized, which means that the voltage on the positive terminal must always be
greater than the voltage on the negative terminal. The benefit of large capacitance in electrolytic capacitors
comes with several drawbacks as well. Among these drawbacks are large leakage currents, value
tolerances, equivalent series resistance and a limited lifetime. Electrolytic capacitors can be either wetelectrolyte or solid polymer. They are commonly made of tantalum or aluminum, although other materials
may be used. Super capacitors are a special subtype of electrolytic capacitors, also called double-layer
electrolytic capacitors, with capacitances of hundreds and thousands of farads. This article will be based
on aluminum electrolytic capacitors. These have a typical capacitance between 1F to 47mF and an
operating voltage of up to a few hundred volts DC. Aluminum electrolytic capacitors are found in many
applications such as power supplies, computer motherboards and many domestic appliances. Since they
are polarized, they may be used only in DC circuits.

Seven-segment display

DESCRIPTION
Seven-segment display (SSD), or seven-segment indicator, is a form of electronic display device for
displaying decimal numerals that is an alternative to the more complex dot matrix displays.
Seven-segment displays are widely used in digital clocks, electronic meters, basic calculators, and other
electronic devices that display numerical information.
seven-segment displays may use a liquid crystal display (LCD), a light-emitting diode (LED) for each
segment, or other light-generating or controlling techniques such as cold cathode gas discharge, vacuum
fluorescent, incandescent filaments, and others.

74LS47 BCD-to-Seven Segment Decoders

DESCRIPTION
74LS47 is a BCD to 7-

segment decoder/driver

IC. It accepts a binary

coded decimal as input

and converts it into a

pattern to drive a seven-

segment

digits 0 to 9. Binary

for

displaying

coded decimal (BCD) is an encoding in which each digit of a number is represented by its own binary
sequence (usually of four bits).
For example 239 in BCD is represented as 0010 0011 1001.
74LS47 IC accepts four lines of BCD (8421) input data and generates their complements internally. The
data is decoded with seven AND/OR gates to drive indicator LEDs of the seven segment directly. The
outputs correspond to Common anode (CA) configuration of seven segmen

555 TIMER

DESCRIPTION

The 555 timer is highly stable device for generating accurate time delays or oscillation. Additional terminals
are provided for triggering or resetting if desired. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is precisely
controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For a stable operation as an oscillator, the free running
frequency and duty cycle are accurately controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor.

7490 IC

Description
The 7490 counter contains four master slave flip-flops and additional gating to
provide a divide-by-two counter and a three-stage binary counter for which the

count cycle length is divided-by-five. The counter has a gated zero reset and also
has gated set-to-nine inputs for use in BCD nines complement applications.

Conclusion
We learned the function and use of logic Gates, we also learned how to read a resistor,
how the potentiometer works and its uses. We also learned to understand the schematic
diagram. We learned how potentiometer works. We learned how to use and what the use
of 555 timer. We learned how to connect a seven-segment to a 555 timer using some logic
gates. We learned the use of the logic gates and its function. And also we learned that the
7 segment react to how the 555 timer and potentiometer respond to each other.
We learned that it was possible to connect two same circuits of 0-9 counter. And it is
possible that the other 0-9 counter may be delay just by adding or connecting the two 0-9
counter. Having the seven segment react on how the 555 timer and potentiometer respond
to each other.
