TLC555 Overview
The TLC555 is a monolithic timing circuit fabricated using the TI LinCMOS™ technology. The timer is fully patible with CMOS, TTL, and MOS logic and operates at frequencies up to 2 MHz. Because of a high input impedance, this device supports smaller timing capacitors than those supported by the NE555 or LM555.
TLC555 Key Features
- Very low power consumption
- 1-mW typical at VDD = 5 V

- CMOS output capable of swinging rail to rail
- High output current capability
- Sink: 100-mA typical
- Source: 10-mA typical
- Output fully patible with CMOS, TTL, and MOS
- Low supply current reduces spikes during output transitions
- Single-supply operation from 2 V to 15 V
