A common problem with on-delay timers is the timing capacitor reset. Typical timers (555 included) rely upon both complete power loss and finite elapsed time to assure that the timing capacitor is ...

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of controlling a servo, it is a servo tester made out of a 555 timer IC.

Part of Design and Technology Electronic and microelectronic control systems The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the most ...

Whenever I use the 555 timer, it seems that the output polarity is invariably incorrect, and the way the 555 functions, it normally cannot generate a duty cycle of less than 50% — 90% yes, 10% NO!

Signetics released the venerable NE555 timer in 1971. It has been used in thousands of designs and has been the subject of at least that many articles (see “The 555: Best IC Ever Or Obsolete ...

[Kenneth Finnegan] took the focus of a great design and redirected it to solve his own problem. What results is this lead acid battery charger based on the 555 timer. It’s not a top-of-the-line, all ...

Heralded as a sub-1 V analog timer platform that revolutionizes the conventional 555 timer for low-voltage, battery-operated small appliances, the SX8122 analog timer extends battery life via ...
