What is the point of reviewing a cheap timer module, especially if it is based on the ubiquitous 555 timer chip? Recently I got an ‘updated’ version of the common 555 timer relay module. This time it ...
Used in a variety of timer, pulse generation, and oscillator applications, the 555 was designed in 1971 by Hans Camenzind. A favorite for many engineers, the 555 is still in widespread use due to its ...
The history of the 555 timer. What are the 555's modes of operation? About my book to help teach those young and old about 555 timers. element14’s 555 timer contest. The 555 timer celebrated the 51st ...
The venerable 555-type timer makes an effective driver for power MOSFETs, but you have to understand the drive situation when selecting the correct variation of the basic timer. This idea shows how ...
Sometimes the best inspiration is limitation. The 555 timer does “one thing” — compares a voltage to a couple thresholds and outputs a signal accordingly. It’s two comparators, a voltage ladder, and a ...
