7 Segment Display Circuit Diagram
555 timer’s PIN2 is connected to PIN6 and a capacitor(Here we used 4.7microF) is connected with PIN2 & Ground. PIN6 is also connected to PIN7 with a 100Kohm resistance. PIN7 is connected to PIN8 with a 10Kohm resistor as PIN8 is the Power Supply or VCC. 555 Timer’s PIN3 is connected to PIN1 of 4026 IC. PIN2, PIN8 and PIN15 of 4026 IC is connected to Ground. PIN3 and PIN16 of 4026 IC is connected to Positive Terminal.
