10 x NE555 DIP-8 Timer, Pulse Generation, Oscillator IC

These devices are precision timing circuits capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillations. In the time-delay or monostable mode of operation, the timed interval is controlled by a single external resistor and capacitor network. In the astable mode of operation, the frequency and duty cycle can be controlled independently with two external resistors and a single external capacitor.

The 555 timer chip is an extremely robust and stable 8-pin device that can be operated either as a very accurate Monostable, Bistable or Astable Multivibrator to produce a variety of applications such as one-shot or delay timers, pulse generation, LED and lamp flashers, alarms and tone generation, logic clocks, frequency division, power supplies and converters etc, in fact, any circuit that requires some form of time control as the list is endless.
