Description:

• The NE555N is a versatile and frequently used timer integrated circuit designed by STMicroelectronics.
• It is a crucial part of many electrical systems because of its well-known capacity to provide precise timing, pulses, and oscillation.
• Functionality: The NE555N serves as a timer, pulse generator, and oscillator. It can function in astable, monostable, and bistable modes, giving it the versatility to meet a variety of design requirements.
• Astable Mode: In this mode, the IC produces a continuous square wave output, which is helpful for producing oscillators or pulse modulated signals.
• Monostable Mode: This mode enables the NE555N to generate a single output pulse in response to an external trigger, which is widely utilized in timer applications.
• Bistable Mode: Acts like a flip-flop, keeping a stable output state until an input trigger alters it.
• The IC is packaged in an 8-pin PDIP (Plastic Dual In-line Package), making it simple to integrate into a variety of circuit boards.
• Voltage and Current: Can operate on a wide range of supply voltages, typically between 4.5V and 15V, and can source or sink currents up to 200mA.
• Precision Timing: The NE555N provides extremely accurate timing intervals ranging from microseconds to hours, making it excellent for precision timing circuits.
• Temperature Range: Operates reliably in temperatures ranging from 0 to 70 °C.
