555 Astable Mode
In the 555 astable mode, the IC puts out a continuous stream of rectangular pulses having a specified frequency. 555 Astable Mode Resistor R1 is connected between Vcc and the discharge pin (pin 7) and another resistor (R2) is connected between the discharge pin (pin 7), and the trigger (pin 2) and threshold (pin 6) … Continue reading 555 Astable Mode
555 Monostable Mode
In 555 monostable mode the chip produces a one-shot output pulse. Uses include triggering other processes, timers, alarms, even another pulse generator. Another application is use of a monostable is to clean up incoming pulses. 555 Monostable Mode Description In monostable mode the 555 timer outputs a high pulse, which begins when the trigger pin … Continue reading 555 Monostable Mode
555 Timer IC
The 555 timer is an integrated circuit used in a multitude of precise timing and waveform generation applications. 555 Timer IC Description and Use The 555 timer is a stable circuit capable of functioning as an accurate time-delay generator or a free running multivibrator. When used as an oscillator the frequency and duty cycle are … Continue reading 555 Timer IC
