We are now submerging into a world where big-board-circuits been replaced by integrated circuits. So to goes into this race, I had been given a task to develop a Very-Large-Scale Integrated (VLSI) Circuit that is capable to run and display a real clock on various displays such as computer monitor or any specific display. This built I.C. will receive a clock signal wave from a wide range of frequencies and able to compute exact time up to milliseconds. It shall able not just to display correct local time and date but also can be reset and display time and date for various locality. The first important step is to master and develop the behavioural code of this clock system. There are two choices of codes, which are Verilog and Verilog Hardware Description Language (VHDL). Only then this develop system will be implemented to the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). A FPGA is a semiconductor device containing programmable interconnections. This FPGA should be connected to a computer clock simulator and run the Clock Integrated Circuit built.
