The 555 timer IC has been around now for quite some time and the list of potential uses for this device appears to be endless. This article contains a few examples of circuits that you might ...

[FightCube] wrote in recommending a very helpful piece of circuit simulation software for those of you still constructing entries for the 555 design contest. LTSpiceIV, available from Linear ...

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 ...

Can a genuinely useful new circuit configuration still be created for an IC that has already been used hundreds of billions ...

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 ...
