Digital LAB Lab 2 The 555 timer is an 8-Pin D.I.L. Integrated Circuit or ‘chip’ Notch Pin 1 What it looks like 2 555 Timer DIP chip Dual In-Line Pins 1 8 2 7 3 555 4 6 5 top view Operation: 555 timer •Contains 25 transistors, 2 diodes and 16 resistors • Maximum operating voltage 16V • Maximum output current 200mA • Best treated as a single component with required input and output INPUT PROCESS OUTPUT If you input certain signals they will be processed / controlled in a certain manner and will produce a known output. 4 555 timer What the 555 timer is used for: •To switch on or off an output after a certain time delay i.e. Games timer, Porch light, Childs mobile, Exercise timer. •To continually switch on and off an output i.e. Hazard warning lights, Soft toy, Bicycle indicators. •As a pulse generator i.e. To provide a series of clock pulses for a counter. 5 555 timer Digital Terminology: To use the 555 timer correctly you have to be aware of the correct terminology: • Monostable Time • Astable Time 6 555 timer • MONOSTABLE: This is a system which has only one stable state. It can be made to change but it will always return to its original stable state. A spring operated push button switch is an example of this. Monostable circuits are used as timers and as a single pulse generator. 7 Schematic diagram of 555 Monostable timer • The duration of the pulse is called the time period (T) and this is determined by resistor R1 and capacitor C1: • time period, T = 1.1 × R1 × C1 8 Monostable time period, T = 1.1 × R1 × C1 T = time period in seconds (s) R1 = resistance in ohms () C1 = capacitance in farads (F) The maximum reliable time period is about 10 minutes • R1 should be in the range 1k to 1Mohm 9 555 timer • ASTABLE: This is a system which has no stable state. It changes from one state to the other all the time. A pendulum swings from one side to the other continuously. Astable circuits are used to flash lights or sound a loudspeaker. It can act as a square wave oscillator 10 Schematic diagram of 555 Astable timer • The time period (T) of the square wave is the time for one complete cycle, but it is usually better to consider frequency (f) which is the number of cycles per second. T = 0.7 × (R1 + 2R2) × C1 11 Astable f = 1.4/ (R1 + 2R2) × C1 T = time period in seconds (s) f = frequency in hertz (Hz) R1 = resistance in ohms () R2 = resistance in ohms () C1 = capacitance in farads (F) The time period can be split into two parts: T = Tm + Ts Mark time (output high): Tm = 0.7 × (R1 + R2) × C1 Space time (output low): Ts = 0.7 × R2 × C1 • R1 and R2 should be in the range 1k to 1Mohm 555 Astable frequencies C1 R2 = 10kohm R1 = 1kohm 0.001µF 68kHz 0.01µF 6.8kHz 0.1µF 680Hz 1µF 68Hz 10µF 6.8Hz R2 = 100kohm R1 = 10kohm 6.8kHz 680Hz 68Hz 6.8Hz 0.68Hz R2 = 1Mohm R1 = 100kohm 680Hz 68Hz 6.8Hz 0.68Hz 0.068Hz (41 per min.)

You can allow extra holes if your piece of stripboard is large enough. 17 Instructions 18 Instructions • Use the resistor colour code to identify the resistors which are marked with coloured bands to show their value. • Insert and solder the resistors in the correct position, they can be put in either way round, but you must line them up correctly with the IC holder. • Identify the other parts, then solder them in the correct position and the right way round. 19 Instructions 20 Instructions • Solder the 2 wire links in place around the IC holder, it is easier to use plastic-coated singlecore wire. (The flexibility of stranded wire is not needed for connections like this and the strands can be difficult to push through the small hole). • Finally insert the 555 timer IC and connect a battery! 21
