DESCRIPTION
The LM555 is a highly stable device for generating
accurate time delays or oscillation. Additional
terminals are provided for triggering or resetting if
desired. In the time delay mode of operation, the time
is precisely controlled by one external resistor and
capacitor. For astable operation as an oscillator, the
free running frequency and duty cycle are accurately
controlled with two external resistors and one
capacitor. The circuit may be triggered and reset on
falling waveforms, and the output circuit can source
or sink up to 200mA or drive TTL circuits.
APPLICATIONS
• Precision Timing
• Pulse Generation
• Sequential Timing
• Time Delay Generation
• Pulse Width Modulation
• Pulse Position Modulation
• Linear Ramp Generator
