LM555
Timer
General Description
The LM555 is a highly stable device for generating accurate
time delays or oscillation. Additional terminals are provided
for triggering or resetting if desired. In the time delay mode of
operation, the time is precisely controlled by one external
resistor and capacitor. For astable 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 200mA or drive
TTL circuits.
