    The document describes an astable circuit using a 555 timer that causes the output voltage to alternate continually between high and low voltages. It explains that the period and duty cycle of the signal can be determined by the values of the resistors R1, R2 and capacitor C in the circuit. The period is the time for one full cycle, while the duty cycle is the percentage of time spent in the high voltage state, which is never lower than 50% in an astable circuit. An example circuit values are given to calculate the frequency, duty cycle, and times for the high and low voltage states.

    555 Astable Circuit Calculator

    The 555 timer is capable of being used in astable and monostable circuits. In an astable
    circuit, the output voltage alternates between VCC and 0 volts on a continual basis.
    The astable circuit is shown below.
    By selecting
    values for R1, R2 and C we can determine the
    period/frequency and the duty cycle.
    The period is the length of time it takes for the
    on/off cyle to repeat itself, whilst the duty cycle is
    the percentage of time the output is on.
    In this type of circuit, the duty cycle can never be
    50% or lower.

    Time High:

    95.08 %
    241.164 s

    Cycle Time: 253.638 s


    Time Low:

    12.474 s

    Notes:
    Increasing C will increase the cycle time (and hence, reduce the frequency).
    Increasing R1 will increase Time High, but will leave Time Low unaffected.
    Increasing R2 will increase Time High, increase time low and decrease the duty cycle (down to a minimum of 50%)
