Keypad Combination Lock circuit
Description: This simple circuit is the electronic version of the combination lock. Using the special purpose LS7220 digital lock IC, the circuit allows a 4 digit combination of your choice to activate a relay for a set period of time. This relay can then be used to trigger a lock solenoid, enable a starter button, open a motorized door, or many other tasks that require a momentary signal.

Notes
To set the combination, wire the appropriate switches to U1 pins 3, 4, 5 and 6 using the header. For example if S1 was connected to pin 3, S2 to pin 4, S3 to pin 5 and S4 to pin 6, the combination would be 1,2,3,4. Now wire all other unused switches across the header to pin 2 of U1. In this way you can create any 4 digit combination you want. Pin 2 is the reset pin, so connecting all unused keys to it assures that the entire combination must be reentered if an incorrect key is pressed. When the appropriate combination is entered, the relay is activated for a period of time determined by C1. The 1uF capacitor specified in the parts list will result in an on-time of roughly 5 seconds. Increase the value of C1 to increase this time. An easy way to make a keypad is to buy 12 PC board mount pushbuttons and then etch a PC board so that the buttons are in 4 rows of 3, similar to a telephone keypad. Place this in a case and then use a label maker or transfer letters to add your numbers to the tops of the pushbuttons. You can also use a pre made keypad but keep in mind that you need a pad which provides an output for each key. Most pads available have the keys connected to provide a row and column signal when they are pressed.
The circuit operates as follows: Upon powering the circuit, the LS7220 Digital Lock IC (U1) awaits input from the keypad composed of 12 momentary pushbuttons (S1-S12). Each pushbutton corresponds to a digit in the combination. The configuration of the pushbuttons is crucial, as it determines the specific combination that will activate the relay (K1). The wiring of the pushbuttons to pins 3, 4, 5, and 6 of U1 allows for a flexible combination setup, while pin 2 serves as a reset point to ensure security; if any incorrect button is pressed, the user must start over.
When the correct sequence is entered, U1 activates the transistor (Q1), which in turn energizes the relay (K1) for a duration dictated by the timing capacitor (C1). The choice of a 1uF capacitor provides an approximate activation time of 5 seconds, which can be modified by using a larger capacitance to extend the relay's on-time. The relay can then control various devices, such as solenoids or motors, allowing for a wide range of applications from locking mechanisms to automated doors.
The additional capacitor (C2) may be used for stabilizing voltage levels in the circuit, ensuring reliable operation of the LS7220 and other components. The rectifier diode (D1) protects the circuit from potential back EMF generated by the relay coil, safeguarding the digital lock IC and other sensitive components. The inclusion of a header (HD1) facilitates easy connections for the keypad and additional components, streamlining the assembly process. Careful attention to the layout and connections will enhance the reliability and functionality of this combination lock circuit.This simple circuit is the electronic version of the combination lock.
