The 555 timer IC has been around now for quite some time and the list of potential uses for this device appears to be endless. This article contains a few examples of circuits that you might ...

The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the most widely used ICs due to its reliability and flexibility.

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

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 ...

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 ...

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of controlling a servo, it is a servo tester made out of a 555 timer IC.

Hans went on to found several companies like InterDesign and Array Design where he continued to design circuits. In the mean time, the 555 became the base IC for many designs in the 1970s and 1980s.

We often marvel at the many things a 555 can do. But [Zafer Yildiz] shows us that it can even take the place of a PCB. You’ll ...
