Digital Stop Watch


A digital stop watch built around timer IC LM555 and 4-digit counter IC MM74C926 with multiplexed 7-segment LED display.MM74C926 consists of a 4-digit counter, an internal output latch, npn output sourcing drivers for common cathode,






7-segment display and an internal multiplexing schemary with four multiplexing outputs.The counter advances on negative edge of the clock. The clock is generated by timer IC LM555.The schema works off a 5V power supply. It can be easily assembled on a general-purpose PCB. Enclose the schema in a metal box
with provisions for four 7-segment displays, rotary switch S1, start/stop switch S2 and reset switch S3





Testing

First, reset the schema by pressing S3 so that the display shows ‘0000.’ Now open switch S2 for the stop watch to start counting the time. If you want to stop the clock, close S2. Rotary switch S1 is used to select the different time periods at the output of the astable multivibrator (IC1).
