Simple Code Lock: Ircuit Lab

This document describes an electronic combination lock circuit that uses four flip-flops to only activate a relay if the correct four-digit code is entered via a remote keypad in sequence. The code is set by connecting the keypad wires to the corresponding pads for each digit. If an incorrect key is pressed, it resets all the flip-flops. This simple code lock circuit could be used in applications like car ignitions to only start the car with the right code sequence.

The circuit described here is of an electronic combination lock for daily use. It
responds only to the right sequence of four digits that are keyed in remotely. If a
wrong key is touched, it resets the lock. The lock code can be set by connecting the
line wires to the pads a, b, c, and d in the figure. For example, if the code is 1756,
connect line 1 to a, line 7 to b, line 5 to c, line 6 to d and rest of the lines—2, 3, 4, 8,
and 9—to the reset pad as shown by dotted lines in the figure.
The circuit is built around two cd4013 dual-d flip-flop ics. The clock pins of the four
flip-flops are connected to a, b, c, and d pads. The correct code sequence for
energisation of relay rl1 is realised by clocking points a, b, c, and d in that order. The
five remaining switches are connected to reset pad which resets all the flip-flops.
Touching the key pad switch a/b/c/d briefly pulls the clock input pin high and the
state of flip-flop is altered. The q output pin of each flip-flop is wired to d input pin of
the next flip-flop while d pin of the first flip-flop is grounded. Thus, if correct clocking
sequence is followed then low level appears at q2 output of ic2 which energises the
relay through relay driver transistor t1. The reset keys are wired to set pins 6 and 8
of each ic. (Power-on-reset capacitor c1 has been added at efy during testing as the
state of q output is indeterminate during switching on operation.)
This circuit can be usefully employed in cars so that the car can start only when the
correct code sequence is keyed in via the key pad. The circuit can also be used in
various other applications.
