Project Description.
A basic alarm clock system is modelled to the block diagram
(Figure 1) and pin description functional tables (Table 1 and Table
2). A 10Hz clock input should be used to output real time in the
24-hour format of hour, minute and second. (HH:MM:SS). The
hour and minute can be set from input pins, as can the alarm time.
If the real time equals the alarm time, the "Alarm" output should
be activated.
Table 1: Inputs Pin Description and functional table
PIN
Input / Output
Description
Input
Active high reset pulse, to set the time
to the input hour and minute (as
defined by the H_in1, H_in0, M_in1,
and M_in0 inputs) and the second to
00. It should also set the alarm value to
0.00.00, and to set the Alarm (output)
low. For normal operation, this input
pin should be 0.
Input
A 10Hz input clock. This should be
used to generate each real-time
second.
Input (2-bit)
A 2-bit input used to set the most
significant hour digit of the clock (if
LD_time=1),or the most significant
hour digit of the alarm (if
LD_alarm=1). Valid values are 0 to 2.
Input (4-bit)
A 4-bit input used to set the least
significant hour digit of the clock (if
LD_time=1),or the least significant
hour digit of the alarm (if
LD_alarm=1). Valid values are 0 to 9.
M_in1
Input (4-bit)
A 4-bit input used to set the most
significant minute digit of the clock (if
LD_time=1),or the most significant
minute digit of the alarm (if
LD_alarm=1). Valid values are 0 to 5.
M_in0
Input (4-bit)
A 4-bit input used to set the least
significant minute digit of the clock (if
LD_time=1),or the least significant
reset
clk
H_in1
H_in0
minute digit of the alarm (if
LD_alarm=1). Valid values are 0 to 9.
LD_time
LD_alarm
STOP_al
AL_ON
Input
If LD_time=1, the time should be set
to the values on the inputs H_in1,
H_in0, M_in1, and M_in0. The
second time should be set to 0. If
LD_time=0, the clock should act
normally (i.e. second should be
incremented every 10 clock cycles).
Input
If LD_alarm=1, the alarm time should
be set to the values on the inputs
H_in1, H_in0, M_in1, and M_in0. If
LD_alarm=0, the clock should act
normally.
Input
If the Alarm (output) is high, then
STOP_al=1 will bring the output back
low.
Input
If high, the alarm is ON (and Alarm
will go high if the alarm time equals
the real time). If low the the alarm
function is OFF.

Description
Alarm
Output
This will go high if the alarm time
equals the current time, and AL_ON
is high. This will remain high, until
STOP_al goes high, which will bring
Alarm back low.
H_out1
Output (2-bit)
The most significant digit of the hour.
Valid values are 0 to 2.
H_out0
Output (4-bit)
The least significant digit of the hour.
Valid values are 0 to 9.
M_out1
Output (4-bit)
The most significant digit of the
minute. Valid values are 0 to 5.
M_out0
Output (4-bit)
The least significant digit of the
minute. Valid values are 0 to 9.
S_out1
Output (4-bit)
The most significant digit of the
second. Valid values are 0 to 5.
S_out0
Output (4-bit)
The least significant digit of the
second. Valid values are 0 to 9.
