I – INTRODUCTION
II – OBJECTIVES
IV – PROBLEM ANALYSIS
The problem was how to make a Sequential Circuit; Queuing system using
switching circuits and flip flops. We found a solution to the problem by searching
different kinds of schematic diagram that fits the conditions required; which is to
make a system with 3 window counter and 0 to 99 queuing numbers. Then we found
how to make the schematic, shown below in the logic diagram in the next page. The
challenge is where the flip-flops on how we will bounce it to satisfy the condition.
Since it was discussed and we were given a sample circuit on how to display 0-9 in a
7-segment, it became our guide on how to process the whole circuit. The next
problem was how to trigger the flip flops with the use of 3 tact switches.
There are four tact switch that is connected each with 470 ohms resistors, de-
bouncing the three tact switch and the reset switch. The JK flip flops were already
discussed to the class and we use it as a guide for the 0-99 numbers. The numbers
are displayed in an ascending order regardless of the number of window counter or
button that was pressed. The window number will change depending on the number
of window counter or button that was pressed.
Schmitt trigger is used in order to debounce the circuit. In other words, it prevents
the circuit to skip some numbers and jump into higher number. When using
debouncing circuit, add first the 1st, 2nd and 3rd switches. And after that, the output
must be connected to the Schmitt trigger then connect it to the first clock in JK flip
flop. Note that when using the Schmitt trigger, it must be used evenly. Meaning input
it 2 or 4 or 6 times.
VI – CONCLUSION
In light of this laboratory activity, the following conclusions were drawn about
Sequential Circuit; Queuing system:
1) The de-bouncing circuit and JK flip flops wouldn’t work if we didn’t use
switching since the tact switch serves as the clock pulse in the flip flops.
2) All the codes for the system meets the condition needed
3) Using the decoder and basic logic gates the system was a little bit shorter
than using basic gates only especially in the decoder.
VII – RECOMMENDATION
1. Make the circuit using other kind of flip-flops and de-bouncing circuit function.
2. Construct the circuit in even spacing so that errors can be detected easily.
3. Construct the circuit by jumping wires from previous equations and not directly
to the Tact Switch.
4. Make the same queuing system with 4 window counters.
5. Make use of other gates like NAND gates or XOR gates.
