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 ...

LED chaser lights (or) sequential LED flasher circuit on a breadboard using 555 timer + 4017 IC and a few other components. The LED’s chasing rate can be adjusted using a potentiometer in place of 47K ...

In this list, we present a collection of exciting 555 Timer Projects that harness the power of the 555 Timers to create a diverse range of electronic devices and circuits. The standard 555 timer IC is ...

The 555 timer IC, originally introduced by the Signetics Corporation around 1971, is perhaps one of the most popular analog integrated circuits ever produced. In this new Elektor book, the focus is on ...

Used in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and oscillator applications, the 555 was designed in 1971 by Hans Camenzind. A favorite for many engineers, the 555 is still in widespread use due to its ...

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 ...

555 timers may be over 50 years old, but they’re still driving the latest electronics to hit the market and will continue in the next-gen devices on the horizon. Read about the secret life of this ...
