Next to the CLOCK input shows that it is edge-triggered, that is, it responds to sudden changes in voltage, but not to slow changes or to steady logic levels. The CLOCK input of the 4013 D-type bistable is rising-edge triggered, meaning that it responds only to a sudden change from LOW to HIGH. The inputs of the D-type must be connected, either to

LOW or to HIGH, and must not be left open circuit. This includes the SET and RESET inputs which are connected to 0 V. To avoid loading the output of the D-type, a transistor switch indicator circuit is used. It is good practice with CMOS circuits to insert a decoupling capacitor, 47 µF or 100 µF, across the power supply. (This helps to prevent the transfer of spikes along the power supply rails. ) As you can see, the number of pulses at the output of the bistable is divided by two compared with the number of pulses at the input. A toggle bistable is a divide-by-two counter, or 1-bit binary counter. Can you see that the outputs give the binary numbers from 11 to 00 in descending order The circuit you have constructed is a 2-bit binary DOWN counter. D-type bistables can easily be used to make a combination lock. Using two 4013 integrated circuits, you can make a 4-digit combination lock in which the keys representing the code digits must be entered in the correct order. Pressing the key for any digit which is not part of the code RESETs all four D-types: goes HIGH. If the second digit is the next key presssed, the second D-type will be SET and so on. Pressing any of the unselected keys gives a HIGH at the RESET inputs of all four bistables, and all the Once the four digits of the code have been entered in the correct sequence, the lock ouptut goes HIGH and will remain HIGH until an unselected key is pressed. The system could...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
