![]() The capacitor now discharges back through the same resistor until pin 2 (Trigger) reaches 1/3Vcc causing the output to change state once again. When the voltage across the capacitor reaches 2/3Vcc, pin 6 (Threshold) causes the output at pin 3 to change state and goes LOW. When the output at pin 3 is HIGH, the capacitor charges up through the resistor. ![]() Note that the CMOS versions of the 555, the 7555 and the 7556 may have different voltage and current ratings.īut first let us remind ourselves of some of the basic formulas we can use to calculate the oscillation frequency. The 555 can source or sink a maximum output current of 200mA, (but it may get hot at this level), so the circuit variations are unlimited. The standard TTL 555 can operate from a supply voltage between 4.5 volts and 18 volts, with its output voltage approximately 2 volts lower than its supply voltage V CC. The two 555 timers within the 556 operate independently of each other but share a common V CC supply and ground (0V) connection. ![]() As the 555 timer is one of our favourite, cheapest and easily configurable chips, let’s look at using it to create some different 555 circuits part 1.Īs we have seen previously, the 555 timer comes as a single device within an 8-pin dual-in-line package (DIP) or as the 556 device which has two 555 chips in a single 14-pin dual-in-line package. We have seen in the last few tutorials that the 555 Timer can be configured with externally connected components as multivibrators, oscillators and timers, with timing intervals ranging from a few microseconds to many hours.
