Novelty
Modularity: Whole set-up rendered plug
and play to facilitate interchangeability
and re-use
DS1307:
Provides time, day and date with
adjustment for leap years
Detects power failures and automatically
switches to Battery supply
High accuracy

Objectives
Primary objectives:
To develop a digital clock using the 8051
microprocessor
To add alarm functionality to the clock
To eliminate the need for setting time every
time upon restart
To display the date along with the day on the
clock
To display the ambient temperature on the
clock

Objectives continued..
Secondary objectives:
To learn interfacing of the microcontroller
with LCD display
To learn interfacing of microcontroller with
ADC chip
To learn interfacing of microcontroller with a
real time clock (RTC) using I2C protocol

Implementation
Circuit diagram

LCD
An electronic
display
module
A16x2
LCDmeans
it can display
16
characters
per line and
there are 2
such lines

ADC 0804 IC
A very commonly
used 8-bit analog
to digital
convertor.
A single channel
IC,i.e., it can take
only one analog
signal as input.
Has an in-built
clock though
external clocks can
also be used

Pin description ADC0804

DS1307 RTC IC

X1 X2: Crystal of frequency

32.768 MHz
VBAT: Back-up batter (3 Volts)
Vcc: 5 Volts
SCL/SDA: Serial data pins

DS1307 RTC IC
2-wire bi-directional serial interface
Values received as BCD
Receive 7 bytes: Seconds, minutes, hours,
day, date, month, year
Convert bytes to decimal before storing in
microcontroller memory
Handshaking signal: Send 0xD1H to start
reading, carry is set to 1 if acknowledged

Future work
Soldering of some minor components i.e.
resistors, capacitors etc. is to be done.
Code is to be tested and compiled.
Enclosure for the project is to be
fabricated.
