ICM7555
DESCRIPTION
PIN CONFIGURATION
The ICM7555 is a CMOS timer providing significantly improved
performance over the standard NE/SE555 timer, while at the same
time being a direct replacement for those devices in most
applications. Improved parameters include low supply current, wide
operating supply voltage range, low THRESHOLD, TRIGGER, and
RESET currents, no crowbarring of the supply current during output
transitions, higher frequency performance and no requirement to
decouple CONTROL VOLTAGE for stable operation.

CONTROL VOLTAGE
In the one-shot mode, the pulse width of each circuit is precisely
controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For astable
operation as an oscillator, the free-running frequency and the duty
cycle are both accurately controlled by two external resistors and
one capacitor. Unlike the bipolar 555 device, the CONTROL
VOLTAGE terminal need not be decoupled with a capacitor. The
TRIGGER and RESET inputs are active low. The output inverter can
source or sink currents large enough to drive TTL loads or provide
minimal offsets to drive CMOS loads.
• Timing from microseconds through hours
• Operates in both astable and monostable modes
• Adjustable duty cycle
• High output source/sink driver can drive TTL/CMOS
• Typical temperature stability of 0.005%/oC at 25°C
• Rail-to-rail outputs
FEATURES

automotive temperatures
• Normal reset function; no crowbarring of supply during output
transition

bipolar 555 for longer time constants

NOTES:
1. Due to the SCR structure inherent in the CMOS process used to fabricate these devices, connecting any terminal to a voltage greater than
VDD + 0.3V or less than GND -0.3V may cause destructive latch-up. For this reason it is recommended that no inputs from external sources
not operating from the same power supply be applied to the device before its power supply is established. In multiple systems, the supply of
the ICM7555 must be turned on first.
2. Derate above 25°C, at the following rates:
N package at 9.3mW/°C

Although the supply current consumed by the ICM7555 device is
very low, the total system supply can be high unless the timing
components are high impedance. Therefore, high values for R and
low values for C in Figures 2 and 3 are recommended.

Output Drive Capability
The output driver consists of a CMOS inverter capable of driving
most logic families including CMOS and TTL. As such, if driving
CMOS, the output swing at all supply voltages will equal the supply
voltage. At a supply voltage of 4.5V or more, the ICM7555 will drive
at least 2 standard TTL loads.
APPLICATION NOTES
General
The ICM7555 device is, in most instances, a direct replacement for
the NE/SE555 device. However, it is possible to effect economies in
the external component count using the ICM7555. Because the
August 31, 1994
1s
The ICM7555 produces supply current spikes of only 2-3mA instead
of 300-400mA and supply decoupling is normally not necessary.
Secondly, in most instances, the CONTROL VOLTAGE decoupling
capacitors are not required since the input impedance of the CMOS
comparators on chip are very high. Thus, for many applications, 2
capacitors can be saved using an ICM7555.

bipolar 555 device produces large crowbar currents in the output
driver, it is necessary to decouple the power supply lines with a
good capacitor close to the device. The 7555 device produces no
such transients. See Figure 1.

improved over the standard bipolar 555 in that it controls only the
internal flip-flop, which in turn controls simultaneously the state of
the OUTPUT and DISCHARGE pins. This avoids the multiple
threshold problems sometimes encountered with slow falling edges
in the bipolar devices.
Astable Operation
If the circuit is connected as shown in Figure 2, it will trigger itself
and free run as a multivibrator. The external capacitor charges
through RA and RB and discharges through RB only. Thus, the duty
cycle (D) may be precisely set by the ratio of these two resistors. In
this mode of operation, the capacitor charges and discharges
between 1/3 VDD and 2/3 VDD. Since the charge rate and the
threshold levels are directly proportional to the supply voltage, the
frequency of oscillation is independent of the supply voltage.

In this mode of operation, the timer functions as a one-shot. Initially,
the external capacitor (C) is held discharged by a transistor inside
the timer. Upon application of a negative pulse to Pin 2,TRIGGER,
the internal flip-flop is set which releases the low impedance on
DISCHARGE; the external capacitor charges and drives the
OUTPUT High. The voltage across the capacitor increases
exponentially with a time constant t = RAC. When the voltage
across the capacitor equals 2/3 V+, the comparator resets the
flip-flop, which in turn discharges the capacitor rapidly and also
drives the OUTPUT to its low state. TRIGGER must return to a high
state before the OUTPUT can return to a low state.

Control Voltage
The CONTROL VOLTAGE terminal permits the two trip voltages for
the THRESHOLD and TRIGGER internal comparators to be
controlled. This provides the possibility of oscillation frequency
modulation in the astable mode, or even inhibition of oscillation,
depending on the applied voltage. In the monostable mode, delay
times can be changed by varying the applied voltage to the
CONTROL VOLTAGE pin.
