Power Supply Circuit: In the above circuit diagram, a step down transformer of about 20:1 turns ratio has been taken. The AC 240 V is converted into 12 V Ac by the transformer. The step down voltage 12 V is applied to the input of the rectifier circuit, for transforming AC to DC voltage. The capacitor 2200μF is acting as a filter, for smoothing the DC output further. Voltage regulator IC 7805 provides a constant voltage source of 5 V and the regulator LM 317H provides the voltage ranges from 6V-12V. The pot connected with LM 317H defines the required output of the regulator by changing the wiper increment position. The below datasheet shows the change in the output voltages with the increment of wiper position in 1K pot.

Decade Sequencer Circuit: 555Timmer: a)555 Timer works in 3 modes: Astable, Monostable, Bistable. In the circuit diagram provided for the decade sequencer the 555 Ic is connected in Monostable mode of operation where only one capacitor is responsible for estimating the time period. Until a pulse is triggered the Monostable multivibratoe will remain in its stable state. Depending on the input trigger the comparator will generate an output (Low/High). The capacitor initially will start to charge up with Vcc. When Vc (Capacitor volatge) > 2/3Vcc, output will become LOW. The circuit remains in its stable state (LOW) until next trigger occurs. Expected Time period can be calculated as T = 1.1 RC, R is the Reqv of R1 and R2. R= 9.855K Given C= 1μF T= 10.84 msec
b)The time period required to trigger the decade sequencer 4017 is the switching time period of 555 timmer. Therefore time required for first LED to glow= T×1= 10.84 msec time required for 6th LED to glow= T×6= 65.04 msec time required for 9th LED to glow= T×9= 97.56 msec The following diagram shows the basic operational circuit of a 555 timmer. Here only C1 and R1 are responsible for determining the time period.
