A scan of the Archer Engineer's Mini-Notebook 555 Timer IC Circuits sold at Radio Shack.This book by Forrest M. Mims III has multiple designs for various ...

The 555 timer has been a popular choice in electronics for a long time due to its versatility and wide range of applications. It can be used as a timer, oscillator, frequency divider, frequency ...

An astable 555 multivibrator circuit, where the timing characteristics are determined by the interplay of an inductor, resistor, and diode.

The 555 Timers Madness Competition has been launched by element14, an Avnet community, in honor of the release of the first 555 timer IC (555 oscillator). Members of the element14 Community can ...

Since its invention over a half-century ago by Hanz Camenzind at Signetics, the familiar 555 analog timer (in league with its updated pin-compatible CMOS descendants) has become an iconic design ...

555 timer history I won’t recount the history of the 555 timers as it has been covered extensively elsewhere. The best source is the oral history provided by Hans Camenzind himself, who, while working ...

Sometimes the best inspiration is limitation. The 555 timer does “one thing” — compares a voltage to a couple thresholds and outputs a signal accordingly. It’s two comparators, a voltage ...
