    The 555 timer chip is a versatile, inexpensive timing circuit that can generate precise time delays or oscillations. It contains transistors, diodes and resistors to implement two comparators, a flip-flop and output stage. The 555 can operate in three modes - monostable, bistable or astable - to time events or produce pulses. It is triggered by signals to the trigger pin which controls the output pin through an internal flip-flop and timing set by the discharge pin and an external resistor-capacitor network.

    IC 555

    The 555 timer is a very cheap, popular and useful precision timing device.
    It can act as either a simple timer to generate single pulses or long time
    delays, or as a relaxation oscillator.
    The 555 timer chip is a 8-pin device. It can be operated in 3 modes:
    Monostable, Bistable or Astable Multivibrator. It can be used to produce
    a variety of applications that requires some form of time control.
    The single 555 Timer chip in is a Bipolar 8-pin mini Dual-in-line Package
    (DIP) device consisting of some 25 transistors, 2 diodes and about 16
    resistors arranged to form two comparators, a flip-flop and a high current
    output stage as shown below.

    555 Timer Block Diagram

    Ground: The ground pin connects the 555 timer to the negative (0v)
    supply.
    Trigger: The negative input to comparator No 1. A negative pulse
    on this pin sets the internal Flip-flop when the voltage drops
    below 1/3Vcc causing the output to switch from a LOW to a
    HIGH state.
    Output: The output pin can drive any TTL circuit and is capable of
    sourcing or sinking up to 200mA of current at an output voltage
    equal to approximately Vcc-1.5 V, so small speakers, LEDs or
    motors can be connected directly to the output.
    Reset: This pin is used to reset the internal Flip-flop controlling
    the state of the output, pin 3. This is an active-low input and is
    generally connected to a logic 1 level when not used to prevent
    any unwanted resetting of the output.
    Control Voltage: This pin controls the timing of the 555 by
    overriding the 2/3Vcc level of the voltage divider network.
    Threshold: The positive input to comparator No 2. This pin is used
    to reset the Flip-flop when the voltage applied to it exceeds 2/3Vcc
    causing the output to switch from HIGH to LOW state.
    Discharge: The discharge pin is connected directly to the Collector
    of an internal NPN transistor which is used to discharge the timing
    capacitor to ground when the output at pin 3 switches LOW.
    Supply Vcc: This is the power supply pin and for general purpose
    TTL 555 timers is between 4.5V and 15V.
    The 555 Timers name comes from the fact that there are
    three 5kresistors connected together internally producing a voltage
    divider.
    The 555 timer oscillator chip can be connected in a variety of different
    ways to produce Monostable or Bistable multivibrators as well as the more
    common Astable Multivibrator.
    The Monostable 555 Timer

    When a negative ( 0V ) pulse is applied to the trigger input (pin 2) of the


    Monostable configured 555 Timer oscillator, the internal comparator,
    (comparator No1) detects this input and sets the state of the flip-flop,
    changing the output from a LOW state to a HIGH state. This action in
    turn turns OFF the discharge transistor connected to pin 7, thereby
    removing the short circuit across the external timing capacitor, C1.
    This action allows the timing capacitor to start to charge up through
    resistor, R1 until the voltage across the capacitor reaches the threshold (pin
    6) voltage of 2/3Vcc set up by the internal voltage divider network. At this
    point the comparators output goes HIGH and resets the flip-flop back
    to its original state which in turn turns ON the transistor and discharges
    the capacitor to ground through pin 7. This causes the output to change its
    state back to the original stable LOW value awaiting another trigger
    pulse to start the timing process over again
    Once triggered, the 555 Monostable will remain in this HIGH unstable
    output state until the time period set up by the RC network has elapsed.
    The time is given by the following time constant equation.
    =1.1 R1 C1
    t is in seconds, R is in s and C in Farads.
    Bistable 555 Timer
    The 555 Bistable configuration does not use any RC timing network.

    The switching of the output waveform is achieved by controlling the


    trigger and reset inputs of the 555 timer which are held HIGH by the
    two pull-up resistors, R1 and R2. By taking the trigger input (pin 2)
    LOW, switch in set position, changes the output state into the HIGH
    state and by taking the reset input (pin 4) LOW, switch in reset position,
    changes the output into the LOW state.
    This 555 timer circuit will remain in either state indefinitely and is
    therefore bistable. The threshold input (pin 6) is connected to ground to
    ensure that it cannot reset the bistable circuit as it would in a normal
    timing application.
