Digital clock displays the time using numbers. This circuit is used in many applications like
cars, railway stations, houses, o ces, etc. in order to provide accurate time and date. In this
type of applications, normally we use RTC (Real Time Clock) ICs to display the time and date

accurately. This circuit displays the time on LCD. For this clock, we can set the time at any
instant. ElectronicsHubCoursesSubscribeNowForFree&PaidCoursesDetails

8051 controller.
Circuit Principle:
Here 8051 controller continuously reads the data from Real time clock and process it in correct
order to display the time on LCD. INT1 of the 8051 controller is used to set the time to the
digital clock. If you make P3.3 pin LOW then interrupt arises and set_time function is called to
set the time. To set the time to the clock use P1.4 and P1.5 pins. P1.4 is used to vary the hours
and P1.5 is used to vary the minutes. After setting the time make P1.6 high to run the clock with
the time set by user.

Circuit Design:
The circuit shows you how interface RTC IC to the 8051 controller. Port P0 is used as a data
port of Real time clock. Port P2 of controller is connected to the data pins of LCD. Pins P1.1,
P1.2 and P1.3 of controller are connected to the RS, RW, EN pins respectively. P1.0 is connected
to the RESET of RTC. Push buttons are connected to the P1.4 and P1.5. These are used set the
time. P1.6 is con gured as START pin used to run the clock with time set by the user. P3.3 is
connected to the push button used to call the set_time function.
DS12C887 Real Time Clock:

This IC is used most of the applications to provide accurate time and date. This IC provides the
time in both 12 hour mode and 24 hour mode. This IC also provides calendar components day,
month and year. This RTC uses internal lithium battery to keep the time and date updated
when power is failed. This IC has 128 bytes of RAM memory. In these 128 bytes of RAM 14
bytes are used for time, date and registers. Remaining 114 bytes are used to store general
purpose data.
The control registers of RTC are accessible only when the power is applied from external
source. This IC requires more than 4.25V power supply and the control registers are accessible

after 200ms when external power is supplied.

DS12C887 IC
Pin Description:
MOT: It is a bus type selection pin used to select between Intel and Motorolabus types.
This pin is connected to VCC to select Motorola bus type and connected to GND or
unconnected to select Intel bus type.
2, 3:Unused pins
4 11 (AD0 AD7): These pins are bidirectional address and data lines of RTC. On these
pins address is present in the rst portion of cycle and data is present in the second
portion of bus cycle.
12 (GND): This pin is connected to Ground.
13 (CS): This pin must be low to access the chip during read and write operations.
14 (AS): The high pulse on this pin is used to demultiplex the data and address.
15 (R/W): This pin is used for read or writes operations.
16: Unused pin
17 (DS): This is a Data Strobe pin.
18 (RESET): The low pulse on this pin resets all the ags and interrupts but it does not

a ects time and date.

19 (IRQ): Thisis active low pin used as an interrupt input to the controller.

20 22: Unused pins
23 (SQW): Used to generate square wave with prede ned frequencies

24 (VCC): This pin is connected 5V supply
RTC Address Map:

This RTC has 128 bytes of RAM with addresses 00H 07H. The rst ten locations (00 09) are
used for clock, calendar and alarm data. 0A 0D address locations are used for status and
control registers. Remaining address locations are used to for general data. The following table
shows the address locations for clock, calendar and alarm.
Address Locations for Time, Date and Alarm
This IC has 4 control and status registers namely register A, register B, Register C, register D.
We need to con gure all these registers to get the accurate time and date. In order to
con gure these registers go through the DS12C887 Datasheet
How to Operate?
1. Initially burn the program to the 8051 microcontroller
2. Now give the connections as per the circuit diagram
3. Switch on the board supply
4. Now you can observe the time on LCD. If you want to set the time make the start pin low
and press the push button connected to the P3.3
5. LCD shows set time message. Now use push button which is connected to P1.4 to set
hours and use other push button to set minutes.
6. Now make start pin high to run the clock.

This project is used in o ces, houses, hotels and auto mobiles to display the time and
date.
We can also set the alarm in this project with a little modi cation.

Why you need this project code?

because RTC is part of my project
Are you trying to make the same project or di erent one.
No I am trying di erent project , basically my project is about weather station
Give us more details about your project
My project is about weather station , at which it is required to take sensors
value(temperature, humidity,wind speed and direction) and display it along with time and
date on LCD ,

Since Im doing electronics engineering, I wanted to learn how 8051 micro-controller

projects are done. I am making this project for self analysis and to gain knowledge. hence I
want to start from basic digital clock.
