Traffic Light Control Circuit Design


Below is an overview of the net connections to be made in your schematic. Each connection will tie together the appropriate pins between components and the supporting LED–resistor networks. Review the table below:

Net NameConnection Description
VCCConnect the VCC power pins on all ICs ([74LS194] U1, U2, U3, [28C256] U4, [74LS74] U5) and one side of the Push Button to the supply voltage (e.g., 5V).
GNDConnect the GND pins on all ICs and the cathode of every LED–resistor series (for NS, OE, EO, and the extra EO turn LED) to the Ground.
NS_LED_xFor the NS traffic light ([74LS194] U1), connect each of its three output pins to a series connection: output → 330Ω ResistorLED → GND. (Label each as NS_LED_1, NS_LED_2, NS_LED_3.)
OE_LED_xFor the OE traffic light ([74LS194] U2), connect each of its three output pins similarly: output → 330Ω Resistor → LED → GND. (Label these nets as OE_LED_1, OE_LED_2, OE_LED_3.)
EO_LED_xFor the EO traffic light ([74LS194] U3), connect three outputs to resistor–LED series as above (label as EO_LED_1, EO_LED_2, EO_LED_3). Additionally, connect the extra EO turn indicator output via its own 330Ω resistor and LED chain to GND (label as EO_TURN).
State_Machine_SignalsRoute the outputs from the [28C256] U4 (state machine in EPROM) to the required inputs on the [74LS74] U5 flip-flops. These signals combine with the shift register control signals as needed for proper sequential operation.
PedestrianConnect the other terminal of the Push Button to the input of one of the flip-flops ([74LS74] U5) or directly into the state machine logic as required by your design.
All components have their power (VCC) and ground (GND) properly tied to ensure correct operation. You can now proceed to wire these nets in your Flux schematic, ensuring that each LED–resistor series is connected from the respective shift register outputs to GND.

how do i program the eprom
Programming the 28C256 isn’t handled directly within Flux. In a typical hardware workflow, you’d follow these steps:
  1. Generate a Binary Image:
    Create a binary (or .hex) file that encodes your state machine logic.
  2. Use an EPROM Programmer:
    Connect your 28C256 chip to a dedicated EPROM programmer. Many vendors offer programmers with associated software that allows you to load your binary file onto the chip.
  3. Verify Programming:
    Use the programmer’s verify feature to ensure that the EPROM was correctly programmed.
If you need guidance on generating the binary image for your state machine or recommendations for programmers, let me know!
