Over the years, readers have often commented that microcontrollers (or more specifically, the Arduino) are overkill for many of the projects they get used in. The admonition that the creator “Should ...

With a 555 on the BOM, you never know what you’re going to get. With 40 of the versatile timer chips in a build, you might just get something completely unexpected, like this 555-based eight-bit ...

I thought it would be fun to redesign the 555 timer using two Touchstone Semiconductor TS1001 Low Power Opamps as comparators. The goal was to make the 555 Timer run on supply voltages below 1V and ...

Here this circuit is based on the principle of audio amplification using operational amplifier and pulse width modulation using 555 Timer. In this article we are describing the principle, design and ...

The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) which is used in a variety of timer, delay, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. 555 Signals and Pinout (8 pin DIP) Figure below shows the ...
