Datasheet
The LM555 is a highly stable device for generating accurate time delays or oscillation. Additional terminals are
provided for triggering or resetting if desired. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is precisely controlled
by one external resistor and capacitor. For astable operation as an oscillator, the free running frequency and duty
cycle are accurately controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor. The circuit may be triggered and
reset on falling waveforms, and the output circuit can source or sink up to 200mA or driver TTL circuits. The
LM555 are available in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC, and VSSOP packages and is a direct replacement for SE555/NE555.
