Texas Instruments NE555
The Nx555 and Sx555 devices are precision timing circuits capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. Each timer has a trigger level equal to approximately one-third of the supply voltage and a threshold level equal to approximately two-thirds of the supply voltage.FEATURES
● Timing from microseconds to hours● Astable or monostable operation
● Adjustable duty cycle
● TTL-compatible output can sink or source up to 200mA
● On products compliant to MIL-PRF-38535, all parameters are tested unless otherwise noted. On all other products, production processing does not necessarily include testing of all parameters. 2

DESCRIPTION
In time-delay or monostable operating modes, the timed interval is controlled by a single external resistor and capacitor network. In the astable mode of operation, the frequency and duty cycle are controlled independently with two external resistors and a single external capacitor. These levels can be altered by use of the control voltage pin (CONT).
