Drive LEDs with a 555 timer and two transistors. 555 timer IC design contest– no strings Learn more about the 555 timer IC design contest. AM radio made with a 555 timer IC When my buddy told me he ...

The output pin is taken from a buffer to prevent interaction with other functions of the IC. An output of full power or dead ground is the only option at pin 3, so an appropriate protection resistor ...

In the mean time, the 555 became the base IC for many designs in the 1970s and 1980s. Too bad he was not able to collect a royalty on each of the billions of chips sold. Amazingly, the 555 timer ...

The 555 timer is one of the most versatile integrated circuits available. It can generate PWM signals, tones, and single-shot pulses. You can even put one in a bi-stable mode similar to a flip flop… ...

The 555 Design Contest shook a whole bunch of really creative circuits out of the trees, hence the 555-heavy content lately. While not technically part of the contest, [esalazar] wanted to know wha… ...
