Bravo! Nice work. I enjoy other peoples Clock designs.

May I make an observation and suggestion? It appears you're using standard multiplexing with 4 pins directly driving the common cathode or common anode columns (displays) and 7 or 8 pins directly driving the display segments. This technique often results in low and uneven display brightness because the current supplied by the column driver pin is limited and must be distributed among the lighted segments. More lighted segments per column results in lower brightness. This problem can be fixed simply by adding column driver transistors to the design.

Thanks bro. Those r not my designs. I just make those.

That's cool. Again, nice construction job.

What type displays are you using? Common cathode or common anode? And what value segment current limiting resistors are you using?

U can use both ( Common anode or cathode ) for that small cct. And no current limiting resisters.

I use common anode segments 4 that big cct. Current limiting resistor is 680hm:

Thanks for the Links..I like that PIC16F876 clock it has all the features you need.Alarm,Date- sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat,& also Dual time...etc....nice piece of design.

Same thing happens to me when making my LED matrix circuit.So I added some Column divers as well as Row drivers....
