Car Clock: CaClo was designed and built to be used in an automobile. It uses pure discrete logic ICs (4000 series) and a4-digit LCD display with backlight, plus a few SMD ICs for the LCD driver.

EDN - Design Ideas / In theory, synchronous clock multiplication
is an easy task. A simple PLL with tw1o digital dividers?one
inserted just after the VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) and
the second one placed directly at the input of the phase
detector?may do the job. The flexibility of such a configuration
allows for clock multiplication by any rational number

Delay line has wide duty cycle range: 06/27/2002 EDN -
Design Ideas / Today`s digital delay lines can process pulses no
shorter than their delay times, and that restriction confines
the devices to applications in which the duty cycle remains near
50%. A limited range of available delays (2 to 100 nsec per tap)
further limits their use. Longer delay is available with
one-shot multivibrators of standard digital-logic families, but
those devices do not retain duty-c....

Speaking Clock using PIC & ISD Device: SpeClo was designed and built to be used by the blind. Its purpose is to provide a relatively easy way for ascertaining the Time of day by whistling, and can be configured to speak English or German!
Sun Up Alarm: The Sun - Up Alarm can be used to provide a audible alarm for when the sun comes up or it can be used in a dark area and detect when a light comes on. It can also be used to detect a light beam, headlights etc. The circuit works as follows. The phototransistor is very sensitive to light. (Any phototransistor will work fine) The sun shining on this device will provide a high to one of the NAND gates. This will cause another NAND gate to oscillate which will drive another gate to output a100hz tone. The transistor provides drive for the speaker.
