Experiment No.-09

Name: Vedant Vinod Wagh
Roll no.: 1901MM36
Group: G9
OBJECTIVE:
Designing a BCD counter showing the count values on a 7-segment display.

MATERIAL REQUIRED:
 LED : One
 Display : 7-Segment one (Common Anode)
 Resistance : Two 330Ω.
 ICs : One 7400 (NAND gate), One 7493 (4-bit binary counter), One 7447 (Decoder)

WORKING PROCEDURE:

1. Use the SR flip-flop to obtain a clean signal at ‘Q.’ To do this, keep both S & R open
(i.e., HIGH)
2. The R point should be momentarily connected to the ground and left open. Do the
same for point S.
3. Observe that the 7-segment displayed value will be incremented by one. The 7447 is a
BCD to seven segment decoder/driver.
4. If the SR flip-flop is disconnected and instead ‘CLKA’ (pin 14 of IC 7493) is used to
generate the pulse input (i.e., connected to the ground momentarily and then left
open), then the displayed value will not follow the expected pattern of one increment
at a time.

OBSERVATIONS:
1. Connect the circuit as shown in Fig.1 with CLKB connected to QA.
2. Make it a Mod-10(decade) counter. This can be easily achieved by NAND gating QD
and QB using the 74LS00 IC and then shorting the last two pins of the IC with the
output. The final output is then shorted across RO(1) and RO(2).
3. Toggle the flip-flop output (‘Q’) by changing R and S values as described in the
working principle above to give pulses to the counter ‘CLKA’ input.
4. Now, disconnect the RS flip-flop and give a single pulse to the counter ‘CLKA’ input
(pin ‘14’) by momentarily connecting it to the ground and then leaving it open. A unit
increment is expected.

SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS:

Count: 2

Count: 7
 (Garbage Value instead of 12)
Now, we disconnect AND gate and connect it to the ground. We give it single pulses and
observe that the BCD increases one by one.

We observe that the count changes with a change in the input signal; it increases by one with
each change in the input signal.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION:

1. We successfully simulated a BCD Counter.
2. We were able to observe the changes one by one.
3. SR Latch successfully stops the contact bounce from point Q and allows us to obtain a
clean signal.
4. When we disconnect the SR flip-flop, the count does not increase by one due to
contact bounce.
