s WIDE VOLTAGE RANGE : +2V to +16V
s HIGH OUTPUT CURRENT CAPABILITY
s SUPPLY CURRENT SPIKES REDUCED
DURING OUTPUT TRANSITIONS
s HIGH INPUT IMPEDANCE : 1012Ω
s OUTPUT COMPATIBLE WITH TTL,CMOS
AND LOGIC MOS
DESCRIPTION
The TS556 is a dual CMOS timer which offers
very low consumption (Icc(TYP) TS556 = 220µA at
VCC=+5V versus Icc(TYP) NE556 = 6mA) and high
frequency ff(max.) TS556 = 2.7MHz versus f(max.)
NE556 = 0.1 MHz)
Thus, either in Monostable or Astable mode, tim-
ing remains very accurate.
The TS556 provides reduced supply current
spikes during output transitions, which enables
the use of lower decoupling capacitors compared
to those required by bipolar NE556.
Timing capacitors can also be minimized due to
high input impedance (1012Ω).
