INTRODUCTION
Digital clock is a clock that displays time using
numbers and not with hands. It is an electronic clock
which has predominately replace the mechanical
Clocks. They are much reliable, accurate,
maintenance free and portable. In general, there are
two kinds of electronics Clocks. They are analogue
clock and digital clock. But digital Clocks are more
common and independent of external source. In this
work, the microcontroller-based digital clock is
constructed. The input frequency is taken from the 50
Hz clock frequency circuit. To show the time, seven-
segments light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and four LEDs
are used.

CONCLUSION
Digital clocks are electronic devices that used
microcontroller to generate a 7-bit code which controls a
7-segment display to provide visual representation of the
decimal digit. Though, all clocks measures time but
different clocks can have status or importance. Hence a
digital wall clock can be considered a form of art today.
As such, digital wall clocks are not only used for their
accurate timekeeping capacity but mainly for their
decorative function. The abundance of such varied
designs has made it impossible not to find a clock
matching a particular room design.
