Display_Counter_Project_Report

The project aims to design an electronic circuit that displays numbers 0 to 9 on a 7-segment display using a 555 timer and a 4026 counter IC. The 555 timer generates clock pulses that control the counting process, with adjustable delays determined by an RC network. Applications include digital counters, scoreboards, and educational displays.

Project Report: Display Numbers 0 to 9

with Delay
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 using a 555 timer and a 4026 counter IC.

2. Components Required
S.No Component Quantity

1 7-Segment Display 1
(Common Cathode)

2 555 Timer IC 1

3 4026 Decade Counter IC 1

4 Resistors (e.g., 1kΩ, 10kΩ) As required

5 Capacitor (e.g., 10µF) 1

6 Breadboard 1

7 Jumper Wires As required

8 Power Supply (5V–9V) 1

3. Working Principle
The 555 timer is configured in astable mode to generate a continuous square wave signal.
This signal acts as a clock pulse and is fed into the 4026 IC, a counter that increments with
each pulse. The 4026 drives the 7-segment display directly, displaying numbers from 0 to 9.
When it reaches 9, the count resets back to 0 and continues.

4. Circuit Diagram
*(Insert a hand-drawn or software-generated schematic diagram here.)*

5. Pin Configuration
555 Timer (Astable Mode):
- Pin 1 – GND
- Pin 2 – Trigger (connected to pin 6)
- Pin 3 – Output (connects to 4026 clock)
- Pin 4 – Reset (connect to Vcc)
- Pin 5 – Control Voltage (0.01µF to GND)
- Pin 6 – Threshold (connected to pin 2)
- Pin 7 – Discharge
- Pin 8 – Vcc

4026 Counter:

- Pin 1 – Clock Input (from 555 timer output)


- Pin 3–7, 9–11 – Segment outputs to 7-segment display
- Pin 15 – Reset (connect to GND)
- Pin 8 – GND
- Pin 16 – Vcc

6. Delay Adjustment
The time delay between each digit display is determined by the RC (resistor-capacitor)
network in the 555 timer:

T = 0.7 × (R1 + 2 × R2) × C

Change R1, R2, or C to increase or decrease the delay.

7. Applications
- Digital counters
- Scoreboards
- Timer-based systems
- Educational displays

8. Conclusion
This project demonstrates a simple way to build a digital counter that can count from 0 to 9
using basic components. It introduces concepts like clock pulses, decade counters, and the
use of 7-segment displays.
