• Copying is strictly prohibited.

• Keep your design neat and clean and brief.
• Try not to waste page.
Part - A
Design a display for watch which will show the number of days in a month.
There is a keypad with 1 to 12 input buttons. The keypad’s 12 output line is
connected to the input of ‘A’ block. ‘A’ block output’s 4 bit binary number
with 4 output pins which is connected to the ‘B’ blocks month input. ‘B’
block outputs 4 bits representing the number of days in a month. There is a
separate input for leap year in ‘leap’ pin.

Part - B
An BCD-to-seven-segment decoder is a combinational circuit that
converts a decimal digit in BCD to an appropriate code for the selection
of segments in an indicator used to display the decimal digit in a
familiar form. The seven outputs of the decoder (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) select
the corresponding segments in the display, as shown in Fig. (a) . The
numeric display chosen to represent the decimal digit is shown in Fig.
(b). Using a truth table and Karnaugh maps, design the BCD-to-seven-
segment decoder using a minimum number of gates. The six invalid
combinations should result in a blank display.
Part - C
Design a circuit to display the number of days using 7 segment display.
In Part – A, the output from ‘B’ block will be fed to 2 decoders. One
decoder(C_a) will provide the units digit BCD and the other(C_b) will
provide the tens digit BCD. These will be fed to a BCD to 7 segment
decoder designed in Part – B to drive the 7 segment displays. Design
the necessary C_a, C-b blocks. C_a

Final Words
1. This assignment will test you in using basic building blocks usage, K-map,
Truth Table, visualize a real life example design.
2. Must keep your Assignment neat and clean.
3. Copying will result in 0 marks. Do it by yourself and do whatever you
can(Have some dignity!).
4. Sequentially answer three parts with circuit and block diagrams.
5. You must design A, B, C_a, C_b, BCD- 7 segment decoders. TT, K-map(if
possible), circuit diagram must be shown.
6. Save paper where you can. For example, for unnecessary K-map/TT
combinations you may use ‘…’
7. I hope you enjoy doing the assignment. 
