The problem

Show how counters and gates alone can keep and display time, with no processor.

How it works

  1. 1Split the circuit into seconds, minutes and hours blocks, each built on 74HC192 counters
  2. 2Each block carries over into the next when it rolls over
  3. 3AND gates reset the hours block when it reaches 24

Result

The simulation keeps time like a real clock and stopwatch.
