555 Timer IC
The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) used in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. The ic 555 can be used to provide time delays, as an oscillator, and as a flip-flop element. Derivatives provide up to four timing circuits in one package. These 555 timer ICs are precision timing circuits capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillations.
In the time-delay or monostable mode of operation, the timed interval is controlled by a single external resistor and capacitor network. In the astable mode of operation, the frequency and duty cycle can be controlled independently with two external resistors and a single external capacitor. The threshold and trigger levels normally are two-thirds and one-third, respectively, of VCC. These levels can be altered by the use of the control voltage terminal. When the trigger input falls below the trigger level, the flip-flop is set and the output goes high. If the trigger input is above the trigger level and the threshold input is above the threshold level, the flip-flop is reset and the output is low. The reset (RESET) input can override all other inputs and can be used to initiate a new timing cycle. When RESET goes low, the flip-flop is reset and the output goes low. When the output is low, a low-impedance path is provided between discharge (DISCH) and ground. The output circuit is capable of sinking or sourcing current up to 200 mA. The operation is specified for supplies of 5 V to 15 V. With a 5-V supply, output levels are compatible with TTL inputs. The NE555 is characterized for operation from 0°C to 70°C. This is characterized for operation from –40°C to 85°C. The NE555 is characterized for operation over the full military range of –55°C to 125°C. Features of the 555 timers are: Supply voltage between 4.5 and 18 volts. supply current 3 to 6 mA, and a Rise/Fall time of 100 nSec.

1. Why IC 555 is called Timer IC?
The name 555 Timers comes from the fact that three 5kΩ resistors are connected internally to form a voltage divider network between the supply voltage at pin 8 and ground at pin 1.
2. How does the IC 555 timer work?
The 555 timer works by dividing the supply voltage into three parts using three 5kΩ resistors. Two comparators compare these voltages to the input voltage before setting or resetting a flip-flop.
3. What are the functions of 555 timer IC?
The 555-timer power supply has a wide voltage range of +5 to +18 volts. The 555 timer is drawing 200 mA as its load current. The TTL drives the output of the 555 timer, which has a high output current. The 555 timer has a temperature stability of 50 ppm/degree when changing the temperature.
4. What are the applications of 555 timer IC?
The IC 555 is used for following applications:
- Tone generation.
- It is used to make an alarm circuit.
- They are also used for frequency division applications.

- They are also used in digital counter circuits.
- IC 555 is widely used for electronics projects.
5. How is the 555 timer built?
The standard 555 timer IC is composed of two diodes, twenty-five transistors, and fifteen resistors housed in an eight-pin dual in-line package. This timer is known as a 555 Timer because it contains three 5 Kilo-Ohm resistors connected in series to form a voltage divider pattern.
6. What is Vcc and GND in IC?
VCC (Voltage Common Collector) has a higher voltage than GND (ground). VCC is a device's power input. It could be either positive or negative in terms of GND. When only a positive power supply is used, VSS (Voltage Source Supply) denotes ground or zero.
7. What is IC 555 Principle?
The 555 timer generates a square wave when set to astable mode of operation. This configuration is done with an external resistor and capacitor that determines the frequency of the square wave that can be used directly in the TTL circuit. In a monostable mode, a pulse of a certain duration is generated, at the end of which the timer returns to its previous state The working principle of such an 8-pin timer chip is the set and reset of the two flip-flops it contains. Set and reset times are determined by external resistors and capacitors.
8. Why IC 555 is used?
