555 Timer IC
- A 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit used in timer, pulse generation, and oscillator applications.
- It can provide time delays, act as an oscillator, and as a flip-flop element.
- Derivatives provide up to four timing circuits in one package.
555 Timer IC Operating Modes
- Monostable mode: produces one pulse of a set length in response to a trigger input.
- Astable mode: produces a continuous oscillation.
- Bistable mode (or Schmitt Trigger): has two stable states, high and low.
Historical ICs
- Intel 4004, the world's first microprocessor
- Motorola 6800 series of computer-related chips
- MOS Technology 6502 and Zilog Z80 microprocessors
- 7400 series TTL logic building blocks
- 741 operational amplifier
