Designing a Binary Clock using logic gates
share
Wristwatches have been a common fashion accessory addition for several people. However, the concept of using a seven-segment digital display or sometimes, even an analog indicator hasn't changed for a number of years. This project aims to test and design a binary clock, also referred to as 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1 clock or even 8, 4, 2, 1 clock (due to their display configuration), that could change this everlasting display for watches. Specifically, digital logic and design engineers would find interest in this topic due to the sophistication involved in reading-out the time. This project will do so using by showing each decimal digit of sexagesimal time as a binary value. This design will be primarily functioning on logic gates and would involve the use of several basic components that include, but are not limited to, integrated circuits (or ICs), Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and resistors.
