Subject: Submission of Project/Thesis/Internship report.

Dear Sir,
Please find enclosed the project report entitled Digital Clock System. The
study has been carried out in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the
degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical & Electronic Engineering.

In carrying out the study, we have followed supervisor’s advice and collected
required information from several text books, reference books, web sites and
other sources. We thinkyou will find it useful and informative. We would be
glad to furnish you further explanations or clarifications if required.

Sincerely yours,

 Executive Summary

This paper reports the design and

development of
field programmable gate array based
digital clock with
additional feature of stopwatch. The
implementation includes
two different coding techniques. The
performance has been
comparatively analyzed based on these
techniques. The
portability of reconfigurable platform
allows for application to
various designs. The architecture has
been implemented and
verified experimentally on a test board.
