NE555 Precision Timer IC (DIP-8)

NE555 / NE555P Precision Timer IC (DIP-8 Package)

The NE555 Timer IC is a classic precision timing circuit capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. In time-delay (monostable) mode, the time interval is precisely controlled by an external resistor and capacitor network. In astable (oscillator) mode, frequency and duty cycle are independently adjustable.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Package Type: DIP-8 (Dual In-line Package)
• Supply Voltage Range: 4.5V to 16V DC
• High Output Current Sink/Source: Up to 200 mA
• Operating Modes: Monostable (Timer), Astable (Oscillator), Bistable (Flip-Flop)
• Timing Range: Microseconds to hours
• Temperature Stability: 0.005% per °C

Applications:

• Precision timing circuits, delay timers, and pulse width modulation (PWM)
• LED flashers, tone generators, and frequency dividers
• Educational electronics experiments and logic pulse clocks
