Seven Segment Counter Display Circuit
Description
Here is the circuit diagram of a seven segment counter based on the counter IC CD 4033. This circuit can be used in conjunction with various circuits where a counter to display the progress adds some more attraction.
In this circuit a 7-segment display is connected with two NE555 IC’s and CD4033 IC to display counts from 0 to 9. The IC CD40333 is a 5 stage Johnson decade counter with decoder and is mostly used in digital displays. The decoder helps in converting the Johnson codeto a 7 segment decoded output. Thus, the input signal will be converted to numeric digits and will be displayed on the LT543 display. This IC can be used in display circuits and also in clocks, timers and so on.

This IC can be operated at a maximum of 20 Volts. While using the IC make sure that you use it alternatively, as it is highly sensitive to static change, and a small touch at the input terminal would be more than enough to start the counter circuit.
IC CD4033 Pinout Diagram
IC NE 555 is wired as an astable multivibrator for triggering the CD4033 IC on Clock Input Pin (Pin 1). For each pulse the out put of CD 4033 advances by one count. The output of CD 4033 is displayed by the seven segment LED display LT543.
Pins 2, 3, 8 & 14 are grounded. Pin 2 is the Clock Inhibit pin and should be grounded while the counter is incremented by one value for each pulse. Pins 3 & 4 are the ripple blanking input & output pins. They are used to improve the readability of the digits. Pin 8 is the GND pin. Pin 14 is the Lamp Test pin and is used to check if all the seven segments are properly working.
Pin 16 is the Power pin and should be connected to the 5V DC supply.
Pin 5 is the Carry Out pin and as the name says it carries out a 10 clock input cycle (0 to 9). It can be used to cascade more IC’s to display more digits.
Pin 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12 & 13 – These 7 pins are the 7 decoded outputs from a to g and produces the output digits (0 to 9) on the display.
Pin 15 is the Reset pin and must be kept LOW to reset the counter from 9 to 0.
Switch S1 is used to initiate the counting. As soon as the switch S1 is pressed, the clock input pin receives the pulse and increments the counter by 1. After counting till 9 the display again shows 0.
Diode D1 prevents the risk of accidental polarity reversal.

Displaying 2 Digits (10 to 99)
Using 2 CD4033 IC’s can help you count 2 digit numbers from 10 to 99. The two IC’s have to be cascaded with PIN5 connected to carry out the count from 9 to 10 in the second IC. Make sure to connect PIN 15 (Reset) of both IC’s together & ground it with a 47K resistor. You can add more digits by cascading more IC’s.

Also one 470k rest should be connected between 6 and 7 of ic 555
Circuit diagram is wrong……… CD4033 pin no 3 should be connected with Vcc, not ground.Pin no 5 of NE555 should be connected with ground via 0.01uf capacitor……. I have made the circuit and its working fine
can u please share ur circuit diagram..?
I makes circuit seven segment cathod ray display using ic cd 4033 it is two digit counter with ldr it counts but problem is when I reset second ic display shows 1 no in first display show during triggering. wat the problem?
can u please give me the introduction and literature survey of visitor counter using IR sensor and 2 seven segment .
Sir,
Here 555 ic is wired as monostable mode.
And you have written it in astable mode.
Please make sure. And also if it is in astable mode then what will be the value of resistor between pin 6 and 7.
Does anyone know how I can make a circuit that as an object passes between a beam of light the display goes down by one and when I press a button the display resets to 9. I have in idea for how I can use his but don’t have a clue how to make it, any help would be great, thanks.
can i use 4511 instead of 4033
when i connect battery,the display blinks n turn off,can anyone give me the solution please?
To correct this fault, connect pin no. 15 of 4033 to the ground, because it is reset pin and if we leave it open then it behaves in the same manner as you mentioned.
With this pin you can do one more thing, you can connect 220 Kohm resistor between pin 15 and Ground(0V). Now if you apply high voltage (5V) to the pin 15 then your display will reset.
when I connect battery the display blinks and turns off, can anybody help me..
when I connect the display blinks and turns off, can anybody help me..

Hi Daine you can use the following circuit appeared earlier in our columns. use less number of counter ICs as per your requirement
https://www.circuitstoday.com/up-down-counter-circuit
hello, my name is Daine. I’m wondering whether it is possible to make the circuit count backwards say from 9 down to 0?
cheers
I am looking for a circuit that has three 7 segment LED displays, with a potentiometer. The circuit must make the 7 segment display to show “000″ when the potentiometer is at lowest value and “200″ at maximum value. I would also like it to be remote control witha range of about 20 meters. Any information would be great.
Thanks for any help I get.
Terminals are not marked on the IC. how do I find no.1 and so on?
One pin 1 location can be located by looking for a notch at one end of the chip. Turn the chip so that the notch on the chip is facing left. Now look at the lower left side of the chip, that will be #1 pin and the numbers will be sequential from that point to the end of the pins in that row. Another identification of pin #1 is to see a dot at one end of the chip. Turn the chip as in the instruction above and see pin one in the same place, (lower left side) pin #1.

thanks thanks
Yes Ravichandran it has got market potential in India as most of our indoor games require it, provided you can match the brass variety or may be little costlier. you may have to produce in very large quantity to maitain low price. better to ofload your idea to some taiwaneese co and get the chip and display from them. you cant just match their price and quality.
