The function of the 555 timer is mainly determined by two comparators. The output voltage of the them controls the state of the RS flip-flop and the discharge tube. It also contains 3 working states.

Here is a 1Hz pulse/frequency generator using the popular timer IC 555 which is wired as an Astable Multivibrator. The output pulses can be indicated visually by the LED. An Astable Multivibrator, ...

A lightweight and non-blocking C library for pulse generation on STM32 microcontrollers. PulseGen uses timers in Output Compare (OC) mode to generate precise pulse trains without blocking the CPU. It ...
