As 555 timer is robust, stable and most commonly used IC in the area of electronics and also use in many electronic circuits. This post gives an idea about 555 Timer IC pin diagram and its description ...

The function of the 555 timer is mainly determined by two comparators. The output voltage of the them controls the state of the RS flip-flop and the discharge tube. It also contains 3 working states.

Hans Camenzind, the designer of the popular 555 timer IC died this week in Silicon Valley. He was 78. My condolences to his family and friends. Hans came to the U.S. from Switzerland in 1960. He ...

Part of Design and Technology Electronic and microelectronic control systems The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the most ...

The 555 timer IC has been reinvented—again. Signetics introduced the enormously popular chip back in 1971, and it quickly became a big hit. Myriad application circuits have used it throughout the ...

You can use a microcontroller to build a clock. After all, a clock is just something that counts the passage of time. The only problem is that microcontrollers can’t track time very accurately. They ...
