India is the largest democracy of the world . People’s active participation in the
different levels. Even more important is the timely declaration of results. This
of the nation .
Till now we have been using the paper and ballot system for conducting. The
loop holes in this traditional system are gradually widening .Its more
their interest in learning the mechanism behind this simple yet powerful
machine. Its got a very simple interface,its tamperproof, prevents bogus voting
and it has helped in getting rid of the time consuming task of counting .
INTRODUCTION
EVM stands for Electronics Voting Machine. It’s a lot different from the
Its USP is its simple user interface. Even a person who never got a chance to
go to schools can use it without much difficulty. The front panel shows all the
candidates standing for the election along with their party symbols. There is a
button corresponding to each of the candidates. To cast a vote just press the
There is a dedicated counter for each of the candidate ,which is placed inside.
With each vote the counter corresponding to the candidate increases and is
displayed through a LCD screen. This arrangement is kept under lock. After
the election’s over the polling officer can open the lock and view the votes and

RESISTOR
Function :-
Resistors restrict the flow of electric current, for example a resistor is placed in
series with a light-emitting diode (LED) to limit the current passing through
the LED.
Resistor values are normally shown using coloured bands. Each colour
represents a number as shown in the table. Most resistors have 4 bands:
This resistor has red (2), violet (7), yellow (4 zeros) and gold bands.
So its value is 270000 Ω = 270 k Ω.
On circuit diagrams the Ω is usually omitted and the value is written 270K.

IC' S
IC 7404
IC 7404 is a NOT gate, also called an inverter has only one input and, of
course , only one output.
The output is the inverse of the input, in otherwords if the input is HIGH then
the out put is LOW and if the input is LOW the output is HIGH.
IC7408
IC 7408 is an AND gates has two or more input but only one output .It is also
called an all or nothing gate.
The output assumes the logic HIGH state , only when each of its input is at
logic HIGH state.
IC 7486
XOR stands for exclusive OR. XOR gate compares two values and if they are
An X-OR gate produces an active HIGH output only when the input are not
equal.The output of an X-OR gate is the modulo sum of its two input.
IC 7490
The 7490 is a decade counter (mod-10) which consists of four master- slave
flip-flops internally connected to provides a divide-by-2 and a divide -by-
5counter.Gates direct-reset line are provided to inhibit count input to either a
logic 0 or to a BCD count
When used as a BCD counter ,the B input must be externally connected to the
QA output. The A input receive the incoming count, and a count secquence is
obtained to in accordance with the BCD count output.two gates input are
provided to reset the counter to 0; in addition ,two more input are also
nprovided to reset the counter to a BCD count of 9 for the 9’s compement
decimal applications.
Function :-
LEDs emit light when an electric current passes through them.
LEDs can be damaged by heat when soldering, but the risk is small unless you
are very slow. No special precautions are needed for soldering most LEDs.
Colours of LEDs :-
LEDs are available in red, orange,
amber, yellow, green, blue and white.
Blue and white LEDs are much more
expensive than the other colours.The
colour of an LED is determined by the
semiconductor material, not by the
colouring of the 'package' (the plastic body). LEDs of all colours are available
in uncoloured packages which may be diffused (milky) or clear (often
described as 'water clear'). The coloured packages are also available as diffused
(the standard type) or transparent

numerical information.
In a simple LED package, each LED is typically connected with one terminal
to its own pin on the outside of the package and the other LED terminal
connected in common with all other LEDs in the device and brought out to a
shared pin. This shared pin will then make up all of the cathodes (negative
terminals) OR all of the anodes (positive terminals) of the LEDs in the device;
and so will be either a "CommonCathode" or "Common Anode" device
depending how it is constructed.
555 TIMER
Astable Operation :-
The capacitor C charges via R1 and R2 and when the voltage on the capacitor
reaches 2/3 of the supply, pin 6 detects this and pin 7 connects to 0v. The
capacitor discharges through R2 until its voltage is 1/3 of the supply and pin 2
detects this and turns off pin 7 to repeat the cycle.
T2 = 0.693*R2*C2

TRANSISTOR
Function :-
Transistors amplify current for example they can be used to amplify the small
output current from a logic IC so that it can operate a lamp, relay or other high
current device. In many circuits a resistor is used to convert the changing
current to a changing voltage, so the transistor is being used to amplify voltage.
Types of transistor :-
There are two types of standard
transistors, NPN and PNP, with different circuit
symbols. The letters refer to the layers of
semiconductor material used to make the transistor.
Most transistors used today are NPN because this is
the easiest type to make from silicon. If you are new to Transistor circuit symbols
electronics it is best to start by learning how to use
NPN transistors.
The leads are labelled base (B), collector (C) and emitter (E).
These terms refer to the internal operation of a transistor but they are not much
help in understanding how a transistor is used, so just treat them as labels!
CAPACITORS
Function :-
Capacitors store electric charge. They are used with resistors in timing circuit
because it takes time for a capacitor to fill with charge. They are used
to smooth varying DC supplies by acting as a reservoir of charge. They are
also used in filter circuits because capacitors easily pass AC (changing) signals
but they block DC (constant) signals.
There are many types of capacitor but they can be split into two
groups, polarised and unpolarised. Each group has its own circuit symbol.
Examples:
Circuit symbol:
Electrolytic Capacitors
Electrolytic capacitors are polarised and they must be connected the correct
way round, at least one of their leads will be marked + or -. They are not
damaged by heat when soldering.
There are two designs of electrolytic capacitors; axial where the leads are
attached to each end (220µF in picture) and radial where both leads are at the
same end (10µF in picture). Radial capacitors tend to be a little smaller and
they stand upright on the circuit board.
It is easy to find the value of electrolytic capacitors because they are clearly
printed with their capacitance and voltage rating. The voltage rating can be
quite low (6V for example) and it should always be checked when selecting an
electrolytic capacitor. If the project parts list does not specify a voltage, choose
a capacitor with a rating which is greater than the project's power supply
voltage. 25V is a sensible minimum for most battery circuits.
Small value capacitors are unpolarised and may be connected either way
round. They are not damaged by heat when soldering, except for one unusual
type (polystyrene). They have high voltage ratings of at least 50V, usually
250V or so. It can be difficult to find the values of these small capacitors
because there are many types of them and several different labelling systems!
Many small value capacitors have their value printed but without
a multiplier, so you need to use experience to work out what the
multiplier should be!
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
The supply to this circuit will be from the green LED . So that on successful
casting of vote we can hear the beep.
Exclusive OR gate (IC7486) prevents the voter from pressing more than one
button i.e. trying to vote for more than one candidate. IC 7473 locks itself
once a vote has been cast and thus prevents multiple votes by a person. With
casting of the vote, both the Green and Red LEDs are lightened
simultaneously. The green LED is an indication for the voter that a successful
vote has been cast. And the Red LED is for the polling officer ,it indicates him
that he has to reset the flip flop so that the next voter can cast his vote.
Pin 13 of IC7473 goes ‘low’ as soon as a ‘valid’ vote is recorded. This in turn
blocks all AND gates to avoid further counting of votes, till the officer in
charge resets the system through switch S5 at his table. Resetting of S7 should
be done only when the voter has come out of the both after casting his vote.
The counting of votes is carried out by the counters wired using IC 7490.
Only ‘unit’ and ‘ten’ positions are implemented in this circuit. Depending on
the number of voters expected , the hundred and thousandth position can be
wired. The votes corresponding to S1-S4 are counted by counter C1-C4
respectively. Switch S6 must be kept under a lock and key arrangement. It
should be reset before the voting starts and should not be disturbed there after
till the voting is over and the results have been declared.
Counters will store the digits as far as supply continues without failure. So an
uninterrupted + 5V supply derived from a battery is advisable.
APPLICATIONS
SOLDERING
Soldering iron :-
The iron consist of an insulating handle connected via a metal shank to the bit.
Soldering bit is made of copper because it has good heat capacity and thermal
available.
Soldering flux :-
Flux is a medium used to improve the degree of wetting. The desirable
1. It should provide a liquid cover for the material and avoid air gap to the
soldering temperature.
The flux consists of Zinc Chloride or olive oil with active such as glycol acid,
Ammonium chloride and organic acids. By adding activates , flow and activity
Solder :-
The three grades of solder generally used for soldering are 40/60 , 50/50 ,60/40
,etc of tin and lead respectively. The 60/40 w solder has high cost but it melts
at lowest temperature, flow more freely, takes less time to harden and
in the form of wire. Flux is also incorporated in solder wire itself. In such case
The surface to be soldered must be cleaned and fluxed . the soldering iron is
switched on and allowed to attain soldering temperature . the solder in the form
of wire is applied near the component and heated with iron. The surface to the
solder are fitted , iron is removed and joints are cooled without any
disturbance.
