The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) which is used in a variety of timer, delay, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. 555 Signals and Pinout (8 pin DIP) Figure below shows ...

Also available is the hobbyist’s worst nightmare: a 555 in a chip-sized BGA (ball-grid-array) package. This part is smaller than two 0603 resistors side-by-side.

It’s back! The 555 timer contest wants to see you do something cool with the 555 timer chip. At stake is the adulation of electronics geeks everywhere. Three top winners will be awarded a $15… ...

Use a 555 timer for power-on-reset that you find out does not really work because the 555 is, at its heart, a digital chip, and then the entire design cannot be shipped and all the bosses hate you.

In this mode of operation, the timer functions as a one-shot. The circuit operates in the following manner. A short pulse (> 1.2V) applied to point I/P energizes transistor Q 1, pulling the 9V battery ...

The 555 timer IC has been reinvented—again. Signetics introduced the enormously popular chip back in 1971, and it quickly became a big hit. Myriad application circuits have used it throughout ...

Please pay Maxim whatever they ask rather than think you can cheap-out with a 555 timer. 2. Maxim s DS1233 power-on-reset chip comes in a tiny TO-92 package, as well as a tiny surface-mount SOT ...

Building the Chip Footstool. The build started with plywood in great quantities, sliced and shaped accordingly. The plywood was meticulously cut to match the dimensions and contours of a 555 timer ...
