LMC555 CMOS Timer General Description Features The LMC555 is a CMOS version of the industry standard 555 series general purpose timers. In addition to the standard package (SOIC, MSOP, and MDIP) the LMC555 is also available in a chip sized package (8 Bump micro SMD) using National’s micro SMD package technology. The LMC555 offers the same capability of generating accurate time delays and frequencies as the LM555 but with much lower power dissipation and supply current spikes. When operated as a one-shot, the time delay is precisely controlled by a single external resistor and capacitor. In the stable mode the oscillation frequency and duty cycle are accurately set by two external resistors and one capacitor. The use of National Semiconductor’s LMCMOS™ process extends both the frequency range and low supply capability. n n n n n n n n n n Less than 1 mW typical power dissipation at 5V supply 3 MHz astable frequency capability 1.5V supply operating voltage guaranteed Output fully compatible with TTL and CMOS logic at 5V supply Tested to −10 mA, +50 mA output current levels Reduced supply current spikes during output transitions Extremely low reset, trigger, and threshold currents Excellent temperature stability Pin-for-pin compatible with 555 series of timers Available in 8 pin MSOP Package and 8-Bump micro SMD package Block and Connection Diagrams 8-Pin SOIC, MSOP, and MDIP Packages 8-Bump micro SMD DS008669-1 Top View DS008669-9 Top View (bump side down) LMCMOS™ is a trademark of National Semiconductor Corp. © 2000 National Semiconductor Corporation DS008669 www.national.com LMC555 CMOS Timer February 2000 LMC555 Ordering Information Package Temperature Range Package Marking Transport Media Industrial −40˚C to +85˚C 8-LeadSmall Outline (SO) 8-Lead Mini Small Outline (MSOP) LMC555CM LMC555CM Rails LMC555CMX LMC555CM 2.5k Units Tape and Reel LMC555CMM ZC5 1k Units Tape and Reel LMC555CMMX ZC5 3.5k Units Tape and Reel LMC555CN LMC555CN Rails 8-Lead Molded Dip (MDIP) 8-Bump micro SMD Metronome Circuit LMC555CBP F1 250 Units Tape and Reel LMC555CBPX F1 3k Units Tape and Reel LMC555CBPEVAL N/A N/A micro SMD Marking Orientation Top View DS008669-23 Bumps are numbered counter-clockwise www.national.com 2 NSC Drawing M08A MUA08A N08E BPA08EFB N/A Operating Ratings(Notes 2, 3) If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the National Semiconductor Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and specifications.

Note 2: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC and AC electrical specifications under particular test conditions which guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit is given, however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance. Note 3: See AN-450 for other methods of soldering surface mount devices, and also AN-1112 for micro SMD considerations.

The external capacitor is initially held discharged by internal circuitry. Upon application of a negative trigger pulse of less than 1/3 VS to the Trigger terminal, the flip-flop is set which both releases the short circuit across the capacitor and drives the output high. Note: In monstable operation, the trigger should be driven high before the end of timing cycle. DS008669-11 FIGURE 3. Time Delay DS008669-4 ASTABLE OPERATION If the circuit is connected as shown in Figure 4 (Trigger and Threshold terminals connected together) it will trigger itself and free run as a multivibrator. The external capacitor charges through RA + RB and discharges through RB. Thus the duty cycle may be precisely set by the ratio of these two resistors. FIGURE 1. Monostable (One-Shot) The voltage across the capacitor then increases exponentially for a period of tH = 1.1 RAC, which is also the time that the output stays high, at the end of which time the voltage equals 2/3 VS. The comparator then resets the flip-flop which in turn discharges the capacitor and drives the output to its low state. Figure 2 shows the waveforms generated in this mode of operation. Since the charge and the threshold level of the comparator are both directly proportional to supply voltage, the timing internal is independent of supply.

Bottom Trace: Capacitor Voltage 2V/Div. In this mode of operation, the capacitor charges and discharges between 1/3 VS and 2/3 VS. As in the triggered mode, the charge and discharge times, and therefore the frequency are independent of the supply voltage. FIGURE 2. Monostable Waveforms Figure 5 shows the waveform generated in this mode of operation. Reset overrides Trigger, which can override threshold. Therefore the trigger pulse must be shorter than the desired tH. The minimum pulse width for the Trigger is 20ns, and it is 400ns for the Reset. During the timing cycle when the output is high, the further application of a trigger pulse will not effect the circuit so long as the trigger input is returned high at least 10µs before the end of the timing interval. However the circuit can be reset during this time by the application of a negative pulse to the reset terminal. The output will then remain in the low state until a trigger pulse is again applied. 5 www.national.com LMC555 When the reset function is not use, it is recommended that it be connected to V+ to avoid any possibility of false triggering.

Frequency Divider Waveforms PULSE WIDTH MODULATOR When the timer is connected in the monostable mode and triggered with a continuous pulse train, the output pulse width can be modulated by a signal applied to the Control Voltage Terminal. Figure 8 shows the circuit, and in Figure 9 are some waveform examples. FIGURE 5. Astable Waveforms The charge time (output high) is given by t1 = Ln2 (RA + RB)C And the discharge time (output low) by: t2 = Ln2 (RB)C Thus the total period is: T = t1 + t2 = Ln2 (RA + RB)C The frequency of oscillation is: Figure 6 may be used for quick determination of these RC Values. The duty cycle, as a fraction of total period that the output is low, is: DS008669-20 FIGURE 8. Pulse Width Modulator DS008669-13 DS008669-15 FIGURE 6.

The pulse position varies with 6 LMC555 Application Info (Continued) the modulating signal, since the threshold voltage and hence the time delay is varied.
