Simple Electronic Dice

Electronic Circuit Assignment

By Mridhulaa ( Class A ECE )
Overview

A simple digital dice as an alternative for traditional dice using IC555 Timer for clock pulse
and IC4017 (Decade Counter) to count numbers 1 to 6.

Also discussion of circuits in IC555 timer and IC4017.

Components Required

CD4017 IC Push Button

555 Timer IC 6 LEDs

2 Resistor- 1k Battery - 9v/ RPS

Capacitor- 10uF Connecting Wires

Variable Resistor- 10K

Circuit Diagram
IC555 Timer

NE555 timer is used in this circuit.

Timer used as an astable multivibrator in this

circuit.

Connection of resistors given in a way so that 143

milliseconds is the time period for 1 cycle.
Astable Multivibrator

An astable multivibrator is a type of

multivibrator that does not require a triggering
pulse thus, sometimes known as a free-running
multivibrator. It necessarily provides square
wave as its output.

Astable multivibrator is called so because both

the states present here are unstable i.e., quasi-
stable. This means output swings between 0
and 1 and neither 0 nor 1 is the stable state.
IC4017

CD4017BE is used for this circuit.

4017 IC is a CMOS decade counter chip.
