Project Objective

• Connecting a 32.768kHz oscillator, a CD4011 Quad NAND gate , CD4027 Dual J-K Flip flop , CD4029 4 Bit- Binary/ BCD counter and a CD4060 stage ripple counter unto a circuit breadboard . 

• Measuring the output from the Q outputs of the CD4060 and confirming accuracy by calculating the frequency with the observed pulse outputs and time duration .

• Observing the accuracy of the frequency reading using a stable frequency source from a crystal oscillator measuring the Q outputs. 

• The 32.768kHz Crystal Oscillator is used as an accurate frequency source . 

• The frequency out formula would be 32.768Khz divided by two to the power of  15 which is the number of flip flops that is in the CD4060 combined with the T flip flop using the CD4027  presented in the circuit which would be equal to 1Hz .
