NE556 Overview
Key Specifications
Package: SSOP
Mount Type: Surface Mount
Pins: 14
Max Voltage (typical range): 16 V
Description
The NE556, SA556 and SE556 dual monolithic timing circuits are highly stable controllers capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is precisely controlled by one external resistor and capacitor.
Key Features
- Low turn-off time
- Maximum operating frequency greater than 500 kHz
- Timing from microseconds to hours
- Operates in both astable and monostable modes
- Output can source or sink up to 200 mA
- Adjustable duty cycle
- TTL compatible
- Temperature stability of 0.005% per °C
