The 555 timer IC has been around now for quite some time and the list of potential uses for this device appears to be endless. This article contains a few examples of circuits that you might ...

The above circuit uses a 555 timer U1 in mono stable mode. If once push button is pressed, it drives pin2 of timer momentarily to ground that triggers the 555 to deliver a high output at pin 3 to ...

The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) which is used in a variety of timer, delay, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. 555 Signals and Pinout (8 pin DIP) Figure below shows the ...

This article is part of the 2022 April 1st series in the Humor topic within our Series Library. The ubiquitous 1971 digital miracle—the 555 Timer—is important, replete with 25 transistors, 15 ...

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 ...
