DESCRIPTION DIP8 SO8
The NE555 monolithic timing circuit is a highly stable (Plastic Package) (Plastic Micropackage)
controller capable of producing accurate time delays
or oscillation. In the time delay mode of operation,
the time is precisely controlled by one external re-
sistor and capacitor. For a stable operation as an os-
cillator, the free running frequency and the duty cy-
cle are both accurately controlled with two external ORDER CODES
resistors and one capacitor. The circuit may be trig- Part Temperature Package

Notes : 1. Supply current when output is high is typically 1mA less.
2. Tested at VCC = +5V and VCC = +15V.
3. This will determine the maximum value of RA + RB for +15V operation the max total is R = 20MΩ and for 5V operation
the max total R = 3.5MΩ.
