Sadeque Reza Khan, Alvir Kabir, Dilshad Ara Hossain . Designing Smart Multipurpose Digital Clock using Real Time Clock (RTC) and PIC Microcontroller. International Journal of Computer Applications. 41, 9 ( March 2012), 39-42. DOI=10.5120/5573-7668
Now-a-days people prefer digital clocks more than an analog clock because of their elegant outlook, inexpensiveness, small size and accuracy. As a result many smart digital clocks are manufactured by different popular companies. Because of its low price and tiny size, it is often incorporated into all kinds of devices such as cars, radios, televisions, microwave ovens, standard ovens, computers and cell phones to enhance the quality of that device. In this particular project, design of a smart multipurpose clock is provided. This clock is designed with two PIC microcontrollers and a Real Time Clock (RTC) IC. The display section is designed with Seven Segment display and LED. A temperature sensor is also integrated with the system to show the current temperature in Seven Segment.
