Traffic light control circuit using IC CD4017
₹250.00
In StockA traffic light control circuit using IC CD4017 is a simple digital electronics project that mimics the working of a real traffic light system. It uses the CD4017 decade counter IC along with a timer (usually 555 IC) to sequentially switch Red, Yellow, and Green LEDs, simulating the flow of traffic signals.
Description
The CD4017 is a CMOS Decade Counter/Divider IC with 10 decoded outputs (Q0 to Q9). It is widely used in sequential control applications. When combined with a 555 timer IC (configured in astable mode), it forms the basis for a traffic light control system.
Here’s how the circuit works:
- The 555 timer generates a continuous clock pulse (square wave).
- These pulses are fed into the CD4017, which advances its output from Q0 to Q9 one by one with each clock pulse.
- By connecting Red, Yellow, and Green LEDs to specific outputs (like Q0, Q1, Q2), you can simulate a traffic light sequence.
- The timing of each light can be controlled by adjusting the resistor-capacitor (RC) values of the 555 timer.
The system repeats in a loop, much like actual traffic signals, but simplified for demonstration purposes.

An XOR (Exclusive OR) gate is a digital logic gate that outputs true (1) only when the number of true inputs is odd. For two inputs, the output is high when the inputs are different. XOR gates can be constructed using basic logic gates or directly with transistors (BJT or MOSFET). Using transistors, we can design compact, efficient circuits for custom digital logic applications.

An AND gate can be built using BC547 NPN transistors, a common general-purpose transistor used in digital circuits.
The circuit represents both the inputs A & B for the AND gate and Output, Q, which also has a +5V supply to the collector of the first transistor, which is connected in series to the second transistor, and an LED is connected to the emitter terminal of the second transistor. The inputs A & B are connected to the base terminal of Transistor 1 and Transistor 2, respectively, and the output Q goes to the positive terminal LED.
