[Dejan Nedelkovski] has put together just such a video where he walks through how the 555 timer IC works from the inside. We especially like how he immediately removes the fear factor by first ...

IC 555 is a highly stable integrated circuit functioning as an ... are used to connect the timing components- Resistor and Capacitor. The threshold comparator inside the IC is referenced at 2/3 Vcc ...

He started working on the project in a circuit simulator, then ultimately ended up building the three main logic blocks inside the familiar ... with the classic 555 IC, it covers the basics ...

In this design, a classic 555 timer IC consumes zero current in its quiescent mode and wakes up quickly in a known state. Build your own signal-conditioning modules to provide the amount of voltage, ...

Hans Camenzind, the designer of the popular 555 timer IC died this week in Silicon Valley. He was 78. My condolences to his family and friends. Hans came to the U.S. from Switzerland in 1960.

Below are several novel examples of what can be done using the variable timer. I truly love the 555-timer IC. Excuse the sudden switch to first person here. The chip is essentially my first step ...
