ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Expressing gratitude is not just a ritual that has to be carried out. Rather it is an
opportunity to sincerely thank all those who extended their much-needed help.
It gives us immense pleasure in acknowledging the help we have received during
our tenure at Sobhasaria Engineering College. We owe our all the obligations and our
sincere feelings to our guide Mr. Nilesh Parihar (Lecturer, ECE) to provide us valuable
guidance and encouragement through out the stages of presentation of our project as well
as preparation of report. We regard him for all time he could devote for the project and for
helping us grasps the technical wiz-a-wiz of the SCHOOL / COLLEGE QUIZ
BUZZER. We gladly appreciate the time and patience they could spare their busyschedule.
We are highly obliged to Mr. K.B.Singh (H.O.D., ECE) for their appreciation.
At last but the most we would like to extend our thanks to all faculty members of
Department of Electronics & Communication Engineering, faculty ofCommunication
Lab, our friends and colleague for their support and cooperation.

ABSTRACT
Manual buzzers used for quiz competitions in schools and colleges create a lot of
confusion in identifying the first respondent. Although there are circuits using PCs and
discrete ICs, they are either too expensive or limited to only a few numbers of players.
The quiz buzzer circuit given here can be used for up to eight players, which is
maximum in any quiz com-petition. The circuit uses IC 74LS373 and a few passive
components that are readily available in the market. The circuit can be divided into two
sections: power supply and quiz buzzer. Fig. 1 shows the power supply section. The
regulated 5V power supply for the quiz buzzer section is derived from AC mains. The
230V AC mains is stepped down to 7.5V AC by transformer X1, rectified by bridge
rectifier BR1, filtered by C1 and regulated by regulator IC1. Capacitor C2 bypasses ripples
in the regulator output.Fig. 2 shows the quiz buzzer section. At the heart of this section is
IC 74LS373, an octal latch that is used to transfer the logic state at data input pins D0
through D7 to the corresponding Q0 through Q7 outputs. Data pins D0 through D7 are
normally pulled low by resistors R1 through R8, respectively.One terminal of push-to-on
switches S1 through S8 is connected to +5V, while the other terminal is connected to the
respective data input pins.
The switches are to be extended to the players through cord wire. The torch bulbs
BL1 through BL8 can be housed in boxes with the front side of the boxes covered with a
white paper having the name or number of the contestant written over it for easy
identification. Place the boxes above the head level so that these can betseen by the
audience also.
When the power is switched on using switch S9 (provided terminals A and B of
both the power supply and quiz buzzer sections are interconnected), the circuit is ready to
use. Now all the switches (S1 through S8) are open and Q0 through Q7 outputs of IC
74LS373 are low. As a result, the gates of silicon-controlled rectifiers SCR1 through SCR8
are also low. As soon as a contestant momentarily presses his respective switch, the
5

corresponding output data pin goes high. This triggers the corresponding SCR and the
respective bulb glows.
At the same time, the piezobuzzer (PZ1) sounds as transistor T1 conducts.
Simultaneously, the base of transistor T2 becomes high to make it conduct. Latch-enable
(LE) pin 11 of IC2 is tied to ground to latch all the Q0 through Q7 outputs. This restricts
further change in the output state due to any change in the state of switches S1 through S8
by any other contestant. Only one of the eight torch bulbs glows until the circuit is reset by
on/ off switch S9.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 School / College Quiz Buzzer
The attraction of any game show depends on the visual effects. The way in which
they present different rounds makes the game shows effective. The good Quiz show always
contains one or more buzzer rounds.
The buzzer makes a round of a Quiz show 'fastest finger first '. The active buzzer
makes the team to first respond to the question. A common question will be asked for all
the teams in these rounds. The team which presses the buzzer first gets first chance to
answer. To avoid confusion of the teams to be answered when one or more team presses the
buzzer almost simultaneously, buzzer circuits are used.
Instead of just showing who pressed the buzzer using some LED or electric bulb, if
has some visual effects, audio effects and different options that makes the show entice. So
our approach is to make this possible which includes all the features. This project makes
the show attractive and easy to operate. This Quiz buzzer is built with the view of making
the game show priority less.
This project uses PC parallel port to input user's response from the switches
placed in the participant's table. Response of the teams can be projected on to a screen.
Number of all the teams will be displayed in the screen in order of the response.

COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Introduction
When a beginner to electronics first looks at a circuit board full of components
he/she is often overwhelmed by the diversity of do-dads. An electronic circuit is made up
of electronic component. Electronic components are classified as active or passive.
Passive component is one that contributes no power gain (amplification) to a circuit
or system. It has no control action and does not require any input other than a signal to
perform its function. Examples are resistors, capacitors, inductors.
Active components are those that are capable of controlling voltages or currents and
can create a switching action in the circuit. Examples are transistors, diodes, etc.
2.2 IC 7805 Voltage Regulator
It is very easy to get stabilized voltage for ICs by using a three terminal voltage
regulator.The power supply voltage for a car is +12V - +14V. At this voltage, some ICs can
not operate directly except for the car component ICs.
In this case, a three
