This document describes a digital stopwatch circuit built around a timer IC and 4-digit counter IC. The circuit uses one IC to generate clock pulses and another IC to count the pulses and display the time on 4 7-segment displays. It has switches to start, stop, and reset the stopwatch. When the start/stop switch is pressed, it either resets the counter to zero to start timing or latches the current count to stop timing and store the time.
