Real Time Clock with Alarm Option using AT89S52 and DS1307 IC

By

 

Real time clock is a digital clock which display real time on 16×2 LCD display. Here in this circuit we can also set alarm and time. The DS1307 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power, full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data are transferred serially through an I²C, bidirectional bus. The ck/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The end of the month date is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with AM/PM indicator. The DS1307 has a built-in power-sense circuit that detects power failures and automatically switches to the backup supply. Timekeeping operation continues while the part operates from the backup supply.

Description:-

In this circuit Port 2 of microcontroller connected to the data pins of 16×2 LCD display and bit P3^0 and P3^1 of port 3 connected to the command pin of 16×2 LCD display rs and en respectively. And serial data SDA and clock SCL pin of ds1307 connected to P1^0 and P1^1 of microcontroller respectively. 4 switches/ push buttons also used to set time and alarm. Bits P3^2, P3^3,P3^4 and P1^2 are configured as increment digit, increment value, set time and set alarm respectively. And an alarm indicator LED also connected to P1^3 for indicating alarm. When alarm time will match with the real time of clock then led will be activate. In this clock the RTC is used in 24 hour mode which gives accurate time and can be displayed on LCD through microcontroller.The microcontroller continuously reads the data from the RTC. Program continuously read the data from ds1307 and show on display. Bit P3^4 is made active low when and low signal comes to program calls time set function and bits P3^2 and P3^3 is also made active low to set time/date/day as well as alarm time after pressing bit P1^2.

89S52 microcontroller

A microcontroller is a small computer on a single integrated circuit containing a processor core, memory, and programmable input/output peripherals. Program memory in the form of NOR flash or OTP ROM is also often included on chip, as well as a typically small amount of RAM. Microcontrollers are designed for embedded applications, in contrast to the microprocessors used in personal computers or other general purpose applications.

16×2 LCD

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is an electronic display module and find a wide range of applications. A 16×2 LCD display is very basic module and is very commonly used in various devices and circuits. These modules are preferred over seven segments and other multi segment LEDs. The reasons being: LCDs are economical; easily programmable; have no limitation of displaying special & even custom characters (unlike in seven segments), animations and so on.

A 16×2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there are 2 such lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in 5×7 pixel matrix. This LCD has two registers, namely, Command and Data.

The command register stores the command instructions given to the LCD. A command is an instruction given to LCD to do a predefined task like initializing it, clearing its screen, setting the cursor position, controlling display etc.

The data register stores the data to be displayed on the LCD. The data is the ASCII value of the character to be displayed on the LCD. Click to learn more about internal structure of a LCD.

DS1307

The DS1307 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power, full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data are transferred serially through an I²C, bidirectional bus. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The end of the month date is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with AM/PM indicator. The DS1307 has a built-in power-sense circuit that detects power failures and automatically switches to the backup supply. Timekeeping operation continues while the part operates from the backup supply.
