3 Description
The TLC555-Q1 is a monolithic timing circuit
fabricated using the TI LinCMOS™ process. The
timer is fully compatible with CMOS, TTL, and MOS
logic and operates at frequencies up to 2 MHz.
Because of its high input impedance, this device uses
smaller timing capacitors than those used by the
NE555. As a result, more accurate time delays and
oscillations are possible. Power consumption is low
across the full range of power-supply voltage.
Like the NE555, the TLC555-Q1 has a trigger level
equal to approximately one-third of the supply voltage
and a threshold level equal to approximately two-
thirds of the supply voltage. These levels can be
altered by use of the control voltage terminal (CONT).
When the trigger input (TRIG) falling below the trigger
level sets the flip-flop, and the output goes high.
Having TRIG above the trigger level and the
threshold input (THRES) above the threshold level
resets the flip-flop, and the output is low. The reset
input (RESET) can override all other inputs, and a
possible use is to initiate a new timing cycle. RESET
going low resets the flip-flop, and the output is low.
Whenever the output is low, a low-impedance path
exists between the discharge terminal (DISCH) and
GND. Tie all unused inputs to an appropriate logic
level to prevent false triggering.
