Chris Gammell from the blog The amp hour and Analog Life is running a 555 timer IC design contest. EDN’s Mike Demler wrote it up on his blog yesterday. So Mike or Chris asked me to do a mention on ...

There are also a few parts which are cosmetic only. But it’s cute, it’s a 555 timer circuit, and it’s shaped like a robot. That all makes it a win. We do wonder how it can be taken further.

Hans Camenzind, the designer of the popular 555 timer IC died this week in Silicon Valley. He was 78. My condolences to his family and friends. Hans came to the U.S. from Switzerland in 1960.

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 ...

It’s back! The 555 timer contest wants to see you do something cool with the 555 timer chip. At stake is the adulation of electronics geeks everywhere. Three top winners will be awarded a $15… ...

Advanced Linear Devices Semtech SX8122 The 555 timer IC has been reinvented—again. Signetics introduced the enormously popular chip back in 1971, and it quickly became a big hit.

The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the most widely used ICs due to its reliability and flexibility.

The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) which is used in a variety of timer, delay, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. 555 Signals and Pinout (8 pin DIP) Figure below shows ...

The 555 Timer IC is a versatile IC used for timing, producing astable (continuous pulses) and monostable (single pulse) outputs. Astable mode produces continuous pulses and is used in LED flashers ...
