The two timers operate independently from one another, only sharing VCC and ground. For each individual timer, additional terminals are provided for triggering or resetting. In the monostable mode of operation, the time is precisely controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For astable mode 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 200 mA. 7.2 Functional Block Diagram 7.3 Feature Description 7.3.1 Operating Characteristics The LM556-MIL is specified for operation from 4.5 V to 16 V. Many of the specifications apply from 0⁰C to 70⁰C. Parameters that can exhibit significant variance with regard to operating voltage or temperature are presented in the Electrical Characteristics and Typical Characteristics sections. 7.3.2 Timing from Microseconds Through Hours The LM556-MIL has the ability to have timing parameters from the microseconds range to hours. The time delay of the system can be determined by the time constant of the R and C values used for either the monostable or astable configuration. A nomograph is available for easy determination of R and C values for various time delays. 7.4 Device Functional Modes The LM556-MIL can operate in both astable and monostable mode depending on the application requirements. 7.4.1 Monostable Mode The LM556-MIL timer acts as a one-shot pulse generator. The pulse begins when the LM556-MIL timer receives a signal at the trigger input that falls below 1/3 of the voltage supply. The width of the output pulse is determined by the time constant of an RC network. The output pulse ends when the voltage on the capacitor equals 2/3 of the supply voltage. The output pulse width can be extended or shortened depending on the application by adjusting the R and C values. More details are given in the LM555 datasheet (SNAS548). 8 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM556-MIL LM556-MIL www.ti.com SNAS746 – JUNE 2017 Device Functional Modes (continued) Figure 11. Monostable 7.4.2 Astable (Free-Running) Mode The LM556-MIL timer can operate as an oscillator and puts out a continuous stream of rectangular pulses having a specified frequency. The frequency of the pulse stream depends on the values of RA, RB, and C. Again, more details are given in the LM555 datasheet (SNAS548). Figure 12.

TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 8.1 Application Information The LM556-MIL timer can be used in various configurations. A typical application for the LM556-MIL timer in astable mode is to drive an audio device (such as a beeper) to provide a pulsed sound. This simple application can be modified to fit any application requirement. 8.2 Typical Application R2A 4 2 Vin 0.01 µF 10 µF R1A 1 LM556-MIL 5 6 3 10 13 12 9 8 11 14 7 Vout 0.01 µF R1B 0.01 µF 100 µF R2B Copyright © 2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated Figure 13. Typical Application 8.2.1 Design Requirements The main design requirements for this application require setting one of the timers (Timer A in this case) to the same resonant frequency as the piezo transducer which can be set by choosing R1A, R2A, and CA with Equation 1: 1.44 fo = ((R1A + 2R2 A )C ) (1) The other design choice is to decide how often and long to produce the bleeping sound. This can be set by choosing R1B and R2B of Timer B (acts as the reset button for Timer A) with Equation 2: R2B D= R1B + R2B (2) Other useful design equations like Equation 3 and Equation 4 are given below where th represents the time it takes to charge the capacitor of each individual timer and tl represents the time it takes to discharge the capacitor. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2017, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM556-MIL LM556-MIL www.ti.com SNAS746 – JUNE 2017 Typical Application (continued) th = 0.693(R1 +R2 )C where • th represents the time it takes to charge the capacitor of each individual timer (3) tl = 0.693R2C where • tl represents the time it takes to discharge the capacitor. (4) 8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure Given that the resonant frequency of the piezo transducer is about 3 kHz, by choosing R1, C and using Equation 1, R2 can be determined to be 23.5 kΩ. In order to have the sound be audible for half the period, the duty cycle for the triggering timer should be 50%. However, this is difficult to achieve because the recommended minimum value for R1 is 1 kΩ. Therefore, a duty cycle of 49% was chosen for this application. By choosing R1 to be 1 kΩ and using Equation 2, R2 is found to be 24.5 kΩ. 8.2.3 Application Curve Output Waveform VCC 0V Capacitor Voltage Waveform VCC 2/3 VCC 1/3 VCC 0V tl th TS Figure 14.

Adequate power supply bypassing is necessary to protect associated circuitry. The minimum recommended capacitor value is 0.1 µF in parallel with a 1-µF electrolytic capacitor. Place the bypass capacitors as close as possible to the LM556-MIL and minimize the trace length CAUTION Supply voltages larger than 18 V can permanently damage the device; see the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. 10 Layout 10.1 Layout Guidelines Standard PCB rules apply to routing the LM556-MIL. The parallel combination of a 0.1-µF capacitor and a 1-µF electrolytic capacitor should be as close as possible to the LM556-MIL. The capacitor used for the time delay should also be placed as close as possible to the discharge pin. A ground plane on the bottom layer can be used to provide better noise immunity and signal integrity. 10.2 Layout Example 2 GND 1: DIS_A 14: VCC 2: THR_A 13: DIS_B 3: CVOLT_A 12: THR_B 4: OUT_B 11: CVOLT_B 5: OUT_A 10: RST_B 6: THR_A 9: OUT_B 7: GND 8: THR_B 1 VCC Figure 15.
