In the time-delay or monostable mode of operation, the timed interval is controlled by a single external resistor and capacitor network. In the astable mode of operation, the frequency and duty cycle may be independently controlled with two external resistors and a single external capacitor. 4 NC–No internal connection The threshold and trigger levels are normally two-thirds and one-third, respectively, of VCC. These levels can be altered by use of the control voltage terminal. When the trigger input falls below the trigger level, the flip-flop is set and the output goes high. If the trigger input is above the trigger level and the threshold input is above the threshold level, the flip-flop is reset and the output is low. RESET can override all other inputs and can be used to initiate a new timing cycle. When RESET goes low, the flip-flop is reset and the output goes low. Whenever the output is low, a low-impedance path is provided between DISCH and ground. The output circuit is capable of sinking or sourcing current up to 200 mA. Operation is specified for supplies of 5 V to 15 V. With a 5-V supply, output levels are compatible with TTL inputs. The NE555 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. The SA555 is characterized for operation from – 40°C to 85°C. The SE555 and SE555C are characterized for operation over the full military range of – 55°C to 125°C.

If the output is low, application of a negative-going pulse to TRIG sets the flip-flop (Q goes low), drives the output high, and turns off Q1. Capacitor C is then charged through RA until the voltage across the capacitor reaches the threshold voltage of THRES input. If TRIG has returned to a high level, the output of the threshold comparator will reset the flip-flop (Q goes high), drive the output low, and discharge C through Q1.

Figure 9. Circuit for Monostable Operation POST OFFICE BOX 655303 RA = 10 MΩ 1 – Output Pulse Duration – s Applying a negative-going trigger pulse simultaneously to RESET and TRIG during the timing interval discharges C and re-initiates the cycle, commencing on the positive edge of the reset pulse. The output is held low as long as the reset pulse is low. To prevent false triggering, when RESET is not used, it should be connected to VCC. 10 tw Monostable operation is initiated when TRIG voltage falls below the trigger threshold. Once initiated, the sequence ends only if TRIG is high at the end of the timing interval. Because of the threshold level and saturation voltage of Q1, the output pulse duration is approximately tw = 1.1 RAC. Figure 11 is a plot of the time constant for various values of RA and C. The threshold levels and charge rates are both directly proportional to the supply voltage, VCC. The timing interval is therefore independent of the supply voltage, so long as the supply voltage is constant during the time interval. Figure 10.

The capacitor C will charge through RA and RB and then discharge through RB only. The duty cycle may be controlled, therefore, by the values of RA and RB. This astable connection results in capacitor C charging and discharging between the threshold-voltage level (≈ 0.67•VCC) and the trigger-voltage level (≈ 0.33•VCC).

Figure 18 shows a circuit for pulse-width modulation. A continuous input pulse train triggers the monostable circuit, and a control signal modulates the threshold voltage. Figure 19 illustrates the resulting output pulse-width modulation. While a sine-wave modulation signal is illustrated, any wave shape could be used. 12 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 NE555, SA555, SE555, SE555C PRECISION TIMERS SLFS022 – D1669, SEPTEMBER 1973—REVISED FEBRUARY 1992 APPLICATION INFORMATION VCC (5 V to 15 V) Clock Input 2 RL 8 RESET VCC OUT TRIG 5 CONT RA Modulation Input Voltage 3 Output 7 DISCH Modulation Input (see Note B) RA = 3 kΩ C = 0.02 µF RL = 1 kΩ See Figure 18 6 THRES Voltage – 2 V/div 4 ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏÏ Clock Input Voltage ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏÏ GND C 1 Output Voltage Pin numbers shown are for the D, JG, and P packages only.

Pulse-Width Modulation Waveforms pulse-position modulation As shown in Figure 20, any of these timers may be used as a pulse-position modulator. This application modulates the threshold voltage, and thereby the time delay, of a free-running oscillator. Figure 21 illustrates a triangular-wave modulation signal for such a circuit; however, any wave shape could be used. 8 RESET 2 Modulation 5 Input (see Note B) RL VCC OUT 3 DISCH 7 THRES 6 RA Output TRIG CONT RB GND Voltage – 2 V/div 4 ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ RA = 3 kΩ RB = 500 Ω RL = 1 kΩ See Figure 20 VCC (5 V to 15 V) Modulation Input Voltage ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏÏ ÏÏÏÏÏÏ Output Voltage C Pin numbers shown are for the D, JG, and P packages only.

Sequential Timer Circuit Many applications, such as computers, require signals for initializing conditions during start-up. Other applications, such as test equipment, require activation of test signals in sequence. These timing circuits may be connected to provide such sequential control. The timers may be used in various combinations of astable or monostable circuit connections, with or without modulation, for extremely flexible waveform control. Figure 22 illustrates a sequencer circuit with possible applications in many systems, and Figure 23 shows the output waveforms.
