NE556 SA556 - SE556 GENERAL PURPOSE DUAL BIPOLAR TIMERS ■ LOW TURN OFF TIME ■ MAXIMUM OPERATING FREQUENCY GREATER THAN 500kHz ■ TIMING FROM MICROSECONDS TO HOURS ■ OPERATES IN BOTH ASTABLE AND MONOSTABLE MODES N DIP14 (Plastic Package) ■ HIGH OUTPUT CURRENT CAN SOURCE OR SINK 200mA ■ ADJUSTABLE DUTY CYCLE ■ TTL COMPATIBLE ■ TEMPERATURE STABILITY OF 0.005% PER°C DESCRIPTION The NE556 dual monolithic timing circuit is a highly stable controller capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is precisely controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For a stable operation as an oscillator, the free running frequency and the duty cycle are both accurately controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor. The circuit may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms, and the output structure can source or sink up to 200mA.

No protection against excessive pin 7 current is necessary, providing the package dissipation rating will not be exceeded 6. Time measured from a positive going input pulse from 0 to 0.8x Vcc into the threshold to the drop from high to low of the output trigger is tied to threshold. 3/8 NE556- SA556-SE556 Figure 1 : Minimum Pulse Width Required for Triggering Figure 4 : Low Output Voltage versus Output Sink Current Figure 2 : Supply Current versus Supply Voltage Figure 5 : Low Output Voltage versus Output Sink Current Figure 3 : Delay Time versus Temperature Figure 6 : Low Output Voltage versus Output Sink Current 4/8 NE556-SA556-SE556 Figure 7 : High Output Voltage Drop versus Output TYPICAL APPLICATION 50% DUTY CYCLE OSCILLATOR VCC 4 6 (8) 14 (10) (13) 1 1/2 NE556 SE556 Output RA 51kW 22kW (12) 2 (11) 3 5 (9) Rs 0.01nF C 7 Figure 8 : Delay Time versus Supply Voltage t1 = 0.693 RA.C RB – 2 RA t 2 = [(RARB)/(RA+RB)]CLn --------------------------2 RB – RA t1 1 f = ----------------- R B < --- RA ti t1 + t2 2 t2 t1 Figure 9 : Propagation Delay versus Voltage Level of Trigger Value PULSE WIDTH MODULATOR VCC RA 4 Trigger 6 (8) 14 (10) (13) 1 1/2 NE556 SE556 Output (12) 2 (11) 3 5 (9) C 7 MODULATION INPUT 5/8 NE556- SA556-SE556 TONE BURST GENERATOR For a tone burst generator the first timer is used as a monostable and determines the tone duration when triggered by a positive pulse at pin 6.
