NE555
LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
SINGLE TIMER

DESCRIPTION
The UTC NE555 is a highly stable timer integrated circuit. It can
be operated in both Astable and Monostable mode. With monostable
operation, the time delay is precisely controlled by one external and
one capacitor. With a stable operation as an oscillator the frequency
and duty cycle are both accurately controlled with two external
resistors and one capacitor.

FEATURES
*High current driver capability (=200mA).
*Adjustable duty cycle.
*Timing from s to hours.
*Turn off time less than 2s.
*Operates in both astable and monostable modes.

Notes: 1.Supply current when output high typically 1mA less at VCC=5V.
2. Tested at VCC=5.0V and VCC=15V.
3. This will determine the maximum value of RA+RB for 15V operation, The maximum total is R=20MΩ, and
for 5V operation the maximum total is R=6.7MΩ.

TYPICAL APPLICATION NOTES
The application circuit shows astable mode configuration.
Pin 6 (Threshold ) is tied to Pin 2 ( Trigger ) and Pin 4 ( reset ) is tied to VCC ( Pin 8 ). The external capacitor C1 of
Pin 6 and Pin 2 charges through RA, RB and dischages through RB only. In the internal circuit of UTC NE555N , one
input of the upper comparator is at voltage of 2/3VCC (R1=R2=R3),another input is connected to Pin 6.As soon as C1
is charging to higher than 2/3VCC, transistor Q1 is turned ON and discharge C1 to collector voltage of transistor Q1.
Therefore, the flip-flop circuit is reset and output is low. One input of lower comparator is at voltage of 1/3Vcc,
discharge transistor Q1 turn off and C1 charges through RA and RB. Therefore, the flip-flop circuit is set output high.
That is, when C1 charges through RA and RB, output is high and when C1 discharge through RB ,output is low.
The charge time(output is high) t1 is 0.693(RA+RB) C1 and the discharge time (output is low) T2 is 0.693 RB×C1.

T1=0.693×(RA+RB)×C1
Thus the total period time T is given by
T=T1+T2=0.693(RA+2RB)×C1.
T2=0.693×RB×C1
Then the frequency of astable mode is given by
