What is the 555 timer?
• The 555 timer is one of the most remarkable integrated
circuits ever developed. It comes in a single or dual
package and even low power cmos versions exist -
ICM7555.
• Common part numbers are LM555, NE555, LM556,
NE556. The 555 timer consists of two voltage
comparators, a bi-stable flip flop, a discharge transistor,
and a resistor divider network.
Block Diagram of Timer 555 IC
Inside the 555 Timer
– The voltage divider (blue) has three equal 5K resistors.
It divides the input voltage (Vcc) into three equal
parts.
– The two comparators (red) are op-amps that compare
the voltages at their inputs and saturate depending
upon which is greater.
• The Threshold Comparator saturates when the voltage at the
Threshold pin (pin 6) is greater than (2/3)Vcc.
• The Trigger Comparator saturates when the voltage at the
Trigger pin (pin 2) is less than (1/3)Vcc
– The flip-flop (green) is a bi-stable device.
It generates two
values, a “high” value equal to Vcc and a “low” value equal to
0V.
• When the Threshold comparator saturates, the flip flop is Reset (R) and
it outputs a low signal at pin 3.
• When the Trigger comparator saturates, the flip flop is Set (S) and it
outputs a high signal at pin 3.
– The transistor (purple) is being used as a switch, it connects pin
7 (discharge) to ground when it is closed.
• When Q is low, Qbar is high. This closes the transistor switch and
attaches pin 7 to ground.
• When Q is high, Qbar is low. This open the switch and pin 7 is no
longer grounded
What are the 555 timer applications?
• Applications include
– precision timing,
– pulse generation,
– sequential timing,
– time delay generation and pulse width modulation
(PWM).
Pin configurations of the 555 timer
•
Pin Functions - 8 pin package
•
Ground (Pin 1)
•
Not surprising this pin is connected directly to ground.
•
Trigger (Pin 2)
•
This pin is the input to the lower comparator and is used to set the latch, which in
turn causes the output to go high.
•
Output (Pin 3)
•
Output high is about 1.7V less than supply. Output high is capable of Isource up to
200mA while output low is capable of Isink up to 200mA.
•
Reset (Pin 4)
•
This is used to reset the latch and return the output to a low state. The reset is an
overriding function. When not used connect to V+.
• Control (Pin 5)
• Allows access to the 2/3V+ voltage divider point when the 555 timer is
used in voltage control mode. When not used connect to ground through a
0.01 uF capacitor.
• Threshold (Pin 6)
• This is an input to the upper comparator.
• Discharge (Pin 7)
• This is the open collector to Q14 in figure 4 below.
• V+ (Pin 8)
• This connects to Vcc and the Philips databook states the ICM7555 cmos
version operates 3V - 16V DC while the NE555 version is 3V - 16V DC.

Behavior of the Monostable Multivibrator
• The monostable multivibrator is constructed by adding an
external capacitor and resistor to a 555 timer.
• The circuit generates a single pulse of desired duration when
it receives a trigger signal, hence it is also called a one-shot.
• The time constant of the
resistor-capacitor
combination determines
the length of the pulse.
Uses of the Monostable Multivibrator
– Used to generate a clean pulse of the correct height
and duration for a digital system
– Used to turn circuits or external components on or off
for a specific length of time.
– Used to generate delays.
– Can be cascaded to create a variety of sequential
timing pulses. These pulses can allow you to time and
sequence a number of related operations.

Astable Pulse-Train G enerator
Behavior of the Astable Multivibrator
• The astable multivibrator is simply an oscillator. The astable
multivibrator generates a continuous stream of rectangular off-on
pulses that switch between two voltage levels.
• The frequency of the pulses and their duty cycle are dependent
upon the RC network values.
• The capacitor C charges through the series resistors R1 and R2
with a time constant
(R1 + R2)C.
• The capacitor discharges
through R2 with a time
constant of R2C
Uses of the Astable Multivibrator
– Flashing LED’s
– Pulse Width Modulation
– Pulse Position Modulation
– Periodic Timers
Flashing LED’s
• 40 LED bicycle light with 20 LEDs flashing
alternately at 4.7Hz
Understanding the Astable Mode Circuit
• 555-Timers, like op-amps can be configured in different ways to
create different circuits. We will now look into how this one
creates a train of equal pulses, as shown at the output.
First we must examine how capacitors charge

Capacitor Charging and Discharging
• There is a good description of capacitor charging
and its use in 555 timer circuits at
http://www.uoguelph.ca/~antoon/gadgets/555/555.html
555 Timer
• At the beginning of the
cycle, C1 is charged through
resistors R1 and R2. The
charging time constant is
 ch arg e  ( R 1  R 2 ) C 1
• The voltage reaches
(2/3)Vcc in a time
t ch arg e  T 1  0 . 693 ( R1  R 2 ) C 1
555 Timer
• When the voltage on the
capacitor
reaches
(2/3)Vcc, a switch (the
transistor)
is
closed
(grounded) at pin 7.
• The capacitor is discharged
to (1/3)Vcc through R2 to
ground, at which time the
switch is opened and the
cycle starts over.
 disch arg e  ( R 2 ) C 1
t disch arg e  T 2  0 . 693 ( R 2 ) C 1

• The frequency is then given by

PWM: Pulse Width Modulation

producing a pulse width proportional to
amplitude

• Question: What happens if voltages like the
ones above are connected to a light bulb?
Answer: The longer the duty cycle, the longer
the light bulb is on and the brighter the light.
What Can Be Done With PWM?
• Average power can be controlled
• Average flows can also be controlled by fully opening and
closing a valve with some duty cycle
