Description
The NE555 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.
Pin connections

The circuit may be triggered and reset on falling
waveforms, and the output structure can source
or sink up to 200mA.

Monostable operation
In the monostable mode, the timer generates a single pulse. As shown in Figure 12, the
external capacitor is initially held discharged by a transistor inside the timer.

The circuit triggers on a negative-going input signal when the level reaches 1/3 VCC. Once
triggered, the circuit remains in this state until the set time has elapsed, even if it is triggered
again during this interval. The duration of the output HIGH state is given by t = 1.1 R1C1 and
is easily determined by Figure 14.
Note that because the charge rate and the threshold level of the comparator are both
directly proportional to supply voltage, the timing interval is independent of supply. Applying
a negative pulse simultaneously to the reset terminal (pin 4) and the trigger terminal (pin 2)
during the timing cycle discharges the external capacitor and causes the cycle to start over.
The timing cycle now starts on the positive edge of the reset pulse. During the time the reset
pulse is applied, the output is driven to its LOW state.
When a negative trigger pulse is applied to pin 2, the flip-flop is set, releasing the shortcircuit across the external capacitor and driving the output HIGH. The voltage across the
capacitor increases exponentially with the time constant t = R1C1. When the voltage across
the capacitor equals 2/3 VCC, the comparator resets the flip-flop which then discharges the
capacitor rapidly and drives the output to its LOW state.
Figure 13 shows the actual waveforms generated in this mode of operation.
When Reset is not used, it should be tied high to avoid any possibility of unwanted
triggering.

Astable operation
When the circuit is connected as shown in Figure 15 (pin 2 and 6 connected) it triggers itself
and free runs as a multi-vibrator. The external capacitor charges through R1 and R2 and
discharges through R2 only. Thus the duty cycle can be set accurately by adjusting the ratio
of these two resistors.
In the astable mode of operation, C1 charges and discharges between 1/3 VCC and 2/3 VCC.
As in the triggered mode, the charge and discharge times and, therefore, frequency are
independent of the supply voltage.

Figure 16 shows the actual waveforms generated in this mode of operation.
The charge time (output HIGH) is given by:
t1 = 0.693 (R1 + R2) C1
and the discharge time (output LOW) by:
t2 = 0.693 (R2) C1
Thus the total period T is given by:
T = t1 + t2 = 0.693 (R1 + 2R2) C1
The frequency of oscillation is then:

50% duty cycle oscillator
For a 50% duty cycle, the resistors RA and RE can be connected as in figure 19. The time
period for the output high is the same as for astable operation (see Section 4.2 on page 10):
t1 = 0.693 RA C
For the output low it is
RB – 2RA
t 2 = [(R. RB)/(RA+RB)].C.Ln --------------------------2RB – RA
Thus the frequency of oscillation is:
