OBJECTIVES :
1. To design the password logic circuits based on given situation and problems using
Aleras Quartus II.
2. To verify of the functionality of the designed system using ModelSim-Altera.
3. To gain the wave from the password comparators and the activation sensor circuit.
4. To propose a cost analysis of the design for components purchase.

INTRODUCTION :

Problems with burglary cases in Amanah apartment has made us realized that we need
to design a low cost Password-based Door Sensor Activation Circuit security system to be
installed in the apartment. The system has three phase which consists of a 12 segment matrix
keypad and a sensor placed on the apartments front door, and a loud buzzer, which is installed
on the apartments wall.
When the sensor is activated and someone opens the door, the sensor will transmit a
signal to the buzzer. The buzzing noise will then alert nearby residents.
The sensor can be activated or deactivated if the password is correct. Only the residence
of the apartment will know the input password. One room has two people, so two password
will be needed to activate or deactivate the door sensor
In addition, a Sensor Activation (A) input switch with two LEDs; Green (G) and Red
(R). The door sensor can be activated by applying logic 1 to input A, and deactivate by applying
logic 0. The Green LED will light on (logic 1) when the correct password is entered, while the
Red LED will light on (logic 1) when the door is activated.

DESIGN METHODOLOGY :
The design of the Password-based Door sensor Activation Circuit are based on three phase
which is :
1. 6x2 Keypad Encoder.
The keypad input are design by using 8-to-3 encoders and some logic gates to change from
decimal based numbers to binary numbers. The encoders used in the design is active low,
therefore the input and output of each encoder is based on the following truth table

The 10 key outputs varies from K[7] to K[0] with different combination. Each key will give 2
different logic 1 inputs to the encoders. The key inputs must be inverted to make it enable the
active low encoder.
The keypad circuit encoder is as given figure :

2. Password Comparator
Our password has 4 numbers, so each number must have one comparator. In our design we
want the password comparator to accept 2 password. So eight IC comparators (7485) will be
used because we have 8 number digits. Each comparators are connected by the A=B enable,
and each B-input comparators is set as our password binary number and each A-input is
connected to by the outputs of the encoder.
This means that, when the first comparator has an output of A=B (logic 1) it can be
connected to the second comparator, and if the second comparator does not have an output of
A=B then the third comparator will not be connected.
The designed password comparator is based on the given diagram :

The Password for the comparator circuit is:

1) Comparator1 ; 5 = 01012 Comparator2 : 8 = 10002 Comparator3 : 3 = 00112
Comparator4 : 4 = 01002
2) Comparator5 ; 5 = 01012 Comparator6 : 8 = 10002 Comparator7 : 3 = 00112
Comparator8 : 7 = 01112

3. Activation Circuit
From the password comparators, if the input is logic 1 and the enter button is pushed it can
activate the green light which means that the password entered by the user is correct.
In the designed circuit, the enter button is also connected to a comparator so that it can give
an output logic 1 ( A=B).
The output 1 will turn ON the Green LED. The output of the password comparator will also
connected to a switch sensor (Activation/Deactivation Switch) with an AND gate.If the
Activation switch is ON then the Red LED will be ON. The activation circuit is given based
on figure below :

RESULT :
For the first part, input was inserted by user in decimal from the keypad then was converted
into BCD by the Keypad Encoder Circuit. The input comprises a combination of 8 pins, K[7]
to K[0]. The combinations are as follow:
