IC 555
• I can calculate the charging and discharging
time for a capacitor.
• I can calculate the period and frequency for a
555 Timer Oscillator.

What is the IC 555?
The IC 555 is an 8-pin
DIP chip (Dual-Inline package)
Integrated Circuit (IC)
that is capable of
producing accurate time
delays and/or
oscillations.

Time Delay Mode
Oscillator Mode
• In the time delay mode, the
delay is controlled by one
external resistor and
capacitor.
Example: Turn a light on in a
delayed amount of time.
(Just turn on or off once)
• In the oscillator mode, the
frequency of oscillation are
controlled with two external
resistors and one capacitor.
Example: Can make a light
flash a specific rate.
(Can turn on and off
repeatedly)
This presentation will discuss how to use a 555 timer in the
oscillator mode.

IC 555 timer
Oscillator mode = astable multivibrator mode
Translation: in this mode the IC 555 will continue to
put out pulses until you remove the battery.
(your choice of resistors and capacitors
determines the vibration frequency)
The 555 timer is a two state device: HI and LO
You can be a two state device too……

Thermistors
Temperature dependent Resistors
R = resistance
T = temperature
k = temperature coefficient
What do you predict will
happen to the resistance of
the thermistor as it ascends
into the atmosphere?
Monday July 14, 2014
Two types of Thermistors
k = positive (PTC)
K = negative (NTC)
IC 555
Our resistor is an NTC
thermistor with a range of
10 kΩ – 80 kΩ

Experiment a bit
Experiment by using the
Thermistor in place of R2.
You may use the spray coolant to cool the
thermistor – but be careful it can get super cold!
1. How does reducing the temperature of the
thermistor change the output of the IC 555
timer?
2. What evidence do you have to support this?

Period
The Period is the total time of an
on/off cycle and depends on the
values of RA, RB, and C

Practice
Calculate the period and frequency of the blinking
light assuming the resistance in the frequency is
10 kΩ.
Assume Elsa from frozen just walked in and room
temperature just dropped to 0 ̊C and the
resistance on the thermistor is 30 kΩ.
PREDICT – will the light blink faster or slower?
Calculate the period and frequency of the blinking
light now.

Key Points
The 555 timer works with 2 resistors (one of which
is temperature dependent) and 1 capacitor to
establish an oscillation in the circuit.
The 555 timer output has two modes: ON and OFF
and it turns whatever device it is connected to
ON and OFF at a rate that depends on the
changing resistance of the thermistor (which
depends on temperature)!!!
