GRATED CIRCUIT 555 TIMER
ZINDIN IN 1971
1 capable of producing accurate time delays
and/or oscillators.

2 In the time delay mode, the delay is

controlled by one external resistor
and capacitor

3 In the oscillator mode, the

frequency of oscillation and
duty cycle are both controlled
with two external resistors and
one capacitor

4 This presentation will discuss

how to use a 555 timer
1 555 IC works in 3 modes.

Astable Mode with no stable state

Bistable Mode with 2 stable states

Monostable Mode with one stable

states
2 555 IC also works in oscillation mode
i,e. It produces oscillations by using
resistors and capacitors
 CAPACITOR
 A capacitor is an electrical component
that can temporarily store a charge
(voltage) and is essential for 555 ic
operation..
 The rate that the capacitor
charges/discharges is a function of the
capacitor’s value and its resistance.

To understand how the capacitor is

used in the 555 Timer oscillator
circuit, you must understand the basic
charge and discharge cycles of the
capacitor.
 CAPACITOR CHARGING
 Capacitor is initially discharged.
 Switch is moved to position A.
 Capacitor will charge to +12 v.
 Capacitor will charge through the
2 K resistor.

Equation for Charging Capacitor

VC  VFinal  VInitial   1 - e -t/RC

 V Initial
Where :
VC  The voltage across the capacitor
VFinal  The voltage across the capacitor that is fully charged
VInitial  Any initial voltage across the capacitor as it begins to charge
 CAPACITOR DISCHARGING
 Capacitor is initially charged.
 Switch is moved to position B.
 Capacitor will discharge to +0 v.
 Capacitor will discharge
through the 3 K resistor.
