Description
The NE555, SA555, and SE555 monolithic timing circuits are highly stable controllers capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is precisely controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For a stable operation as an oscillator, the free running frequency and the duty cycle are both accurately controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor. The circuit may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms, and the output structure can source or sink up to 200 mA.
The NE555 Timer IC is a popular timer integrated circuit (IC) that can be used to generate precise time delays, oscillations, and pulse-width modulation (PWM) signals. The NE555 is a monolithic timing circuit that contains a precision timing section, an adjustable voltage divider, and a temperature-compensated reference.
