Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit used in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and oscillator applications.
The Pin configuration of IC-555 is as shown:
- Pin 5 of 555 Timer is the control pin.
- This makes the oscillator cycle more consistent.
- This pin can also be used to change the internal voltage reference to allow modifying the oscillator frequency or duty cycle.
It has three operating modes
Astable Mode – In this mode, the 555 IC can be used as an oscillator, pulse generator, logic clocks, etc.
Monostable mode – In this mode, the 555 functions as a ‘one-shot’ pulse generator and finds uses in frequency divider, timers, pulse detection, touch switches.
Bistable mode – In this mode, the 555 IC can be operated as flip-flop, latches.Last updated on May 28, 2025
