“A semiconductor device that controls

various modes of on/off states
in electrical systems or circuits. The 555
timer is one of
the most widely used types of integrated
circuits.”

First introduced around 1971

Three operating modes

1.

Monostable mode: The 555 functions as a "one-shot".

Applications include

Timers

Missing pulse detection

Bounce free switches

Touch switches

Frequency Divider

Capacitance Measurement, etc.

2.
Astable Free Running mode: as an oscillator.

Uses include

LED and lamp flashers

Pulse generation

Logic clocks

Tone generation

Security alarms, etc.

3.

Bistable mode or Schmitt trigger:

Operate as a flip-flop,

If the DIS pin is not connected and no capacitor is used.

Uses include

Bounce free latched switches, etc.
