This circuit shows how a 4017 CMOS decade counter can be used to build a timer circuit. Push-button S1 will discharge capacitor C1 through resistor R2. When S1 is released, C1 will charge up through R1 causing a rising edge at the clock input of IC1. This....

This timer circuit is similar to the 5 to 30 minute timer except that when switch S1 is closed, the on/off actionof the circuit will continue indefinitely until S1 is opened again. A 7555 time and low leakage type capacitor for C1must be used. The 6 way....

The adjustment control for the contrast of an LC-Display is typically a 10-k potentiometer. This works fine, provided that the power supply voltage is constant. If this is not the case (for example, with a battery power supply) then the potentiometer has to....

This circuit is the basis for the dimmers in a model theatre lighting system which uses touch globes as the light source. The circuit is based around a 555 timer, driving a Triac. All dimmers share the one power supply and zero-crossing detector. As it will....

Circuit The picture shows the circuit diagram of a rotation sensor that can turn on a device like motor or buzzer while the circuit assembly rotates. The circuit is based on basic 555 timer operation. ..

This article provides an overview of the R100 and MCR100 UHF repeaters. All of the information came from physical examination of the station and running the programming software, as well as the R100 Instruction (and service) Manual, p/n 6881078E15 and the....

This article describes the The 555 Timer Design (NE555N). The content is very simple, very helpful. Components in this article can help you understand better understanding of this article. For example, in this article, you can go to find and buy these....

Micro or analog? These days it is getting harder to choose. The 555 timer was the benchmark of flexibility. How does it fare today?...

Ne555 is one of the most commonly used timer IC. It is a monolithic timing circuit that can produce accurate and highly stable time delays or oscillations. Like general purpose OP AMPs, it is very much reliable, easy to use and cheaper in cost. It has a....

If you ever thought of experimenting with pulse-width modulation, this circuit should get you started nicely. We`ve kept simplicity in mind and used a dual 555 timer, making the circuit a piece of cake. We have even designed a small PCB for this, so building....

This calculator computes the resistors and capacitors for a NE555 timer chip, which has been configured as a astable multivibrator (oscillator), or square wave generator. Just enter in the duty cycle and the frequency and the calculator will compute....

A pair of multi-range timers offering periods of up to 24 hours and beyond. Both are essentially the same. The main difference is, that when the time runs out, Version 1 energizes the relay and Version 2 de-energizes it. The first uses less power while the....

This 555 timer circuit toggles a relay when a button is pressed. Pins 2 and 6, the threshold and trigger inputs, are held at 1/2 the supply voltage by the two 10K resistors. When the output is high, the capacitor charges through the 100K resistor, and....
