Project Report: Display Numbers 0 to 9

Without IC 555
1. Objective
To design and build an electronic circuit that displays numbers from 0 to 9 sequentially on a
7-segment display with a controllable time delay, without using the 555 timer IC. A manual
clock pulse method or a microcontroller can be used as an alternative.

2. Components Required
S.No Component Quantity

1 7-Segment Display 1
(Common Cathode)

2 4026 Decade Counter IC 1

3 Push Button or Clock Pulse 1


Source

4 Debouncing Capacitor (e.g., 1


0.1µF)

5 Resistors (e.g., 220Ω for As required


segments)

6 Breadboard 1

7 Jumper Wires As required

8 Power Supply (5V–9V) 1

3. Working Principle
Instead of using a 555 timer to generate clock pulses, the circuit uses a manual push button
or external pulse generator to feed clock signals to the 4026 IC. Each pulse causes the 4026
to increment its count and display the corresponding digit on the 7-segment display. This
setup simplifies the circuit and allows users to manually control the timing or use other
sources for automated clock pulses.
4. Circuit Diagram
*(Insert a hand-drawn or software-generated schematic diagram here showing 4026 and
push button.)*

5. 4026 Pin Configuration


- Pin 1 – Clock Input (from push button or external source)
- Pin 2 – Clock Enable (tie to GND)
- Pin 3–7, 9–11 – Segment outputs to 7-segment display
- Pin 15 – Reset (connect to GND or use a reset button)
- Pin 8 – GND
- Pin 16 – Vcc

6. Clock Pulse without 555 Timer


Clock pulses can be generated manually using a push button with a debouncing capacitor or
by using a signal generator/microcontroller like Arduino. Manual buttons allow user-
controlled incrementing, useful in debugging and demonstration.

7. Applications
- Digital counters
- Educational tools
- User-controlled scoreboards
- Debugging tools for digital circuits

8. Theoretical Background
The 4026 IC is a decade counter with a built-in 7-segment display driver. It simplifies
numeric output by directly converting count values to segment signals. This eliminates the
need for separate decoders or logic gates.

9. Testing and Troubleshooting


Power the circuit and press the button to check if the number increments. Use a multimeter
to check signal levels at the clock pin. Use debouncing capacitors to avoid multiple triggers
from a single press. Check segment wiring carefully to ensure correct digit display.
10. Conclusion
This circuit demonstrates a simple way to count from 0 to 9 without using the 555 timer IC.
It provides flexibility by allowing manual or external clock pulse input and helps in learning
how digital counters and display drivers function.
