A monostable multivibrator is a timing circuit that produces a single output pulse when triggered. Using the 555 Timer IC in monostable mode, this project aims to design and simulate a circuit that ...

[FightCube] wrote in recommending a very helpful piece of circuit simulation software for those of you still constructing entries for the 555 design contest. LTSpiceIV, available from Linear ...

The 555 timer IC, introduced in the early 1970s, remains one of the most iconic and widely used analog chips in electronics. Let's explore its enduring appeal through a few simple, fully tested 555 ...

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 ...

This project presents a low-cost, educational traffic signal simulation system based on the 555 timer IC in astable mode. Designed to model the standard green-yellow-red sequence found at road ...

Choosing between two widely available, multisourced ICs for the core of an inductorless dc-dc converter—the NE555 timer and the LM386 audio amplifier—requires a look at their key specifications and ...

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 ...

Hans Camenzind, the designer of the popular 555 timer IC died this week in Silicon Valley. He was 78. My condolences to his family and friends. Hans came to the U.S. from Switzerland in 1960. He ...
