App Description

!!!NEW VERSION NOW AVAILABLE!!!

This App compiles a great and very valuable collection of circuits, applications and simulations all around the popular 555 Timer IC.

THIS APP FEATURES:
• 10 different 555 Timer IC circuits
• change values and see the results in “real-time”
• 2 pages with electrical characteristics and packages

It goes into details of the various key circuits of this Timer IC and offers very convenient and easy to use input methods, like sliders for Resistor and Capacitor values, TACT switches and LEDs to simulate the behavior of the various circuits.

LIST OF TOOLS, SIMULATORS AND CALCULATORS:
• Monostable Operation
simulates the 555 Timer IC in monostable mode.

• Bistable Operation
simulates the 555 Timer IC in bistable mode.

• Astable Operation
simulates the 555 Timer IC in astable mode. Option to switch ON a Diode in parallel to R2 (Duty Cycle can be < 50% then).

• Bistable Operation
shows the 555 Timer IC wired as bistable multivibrator.

• Voltage Comparator
configures and simulates the 555 Timer IC as a voltage comparator.

• 10 Step Counter
simulates and calculates a 10 Step Counter with the help of the 555 Timer IC.

• Knight Rider
simulates the implementation of a Knight Rider LED light with the 555 Timer IC.

• Heads Or Tails
a simple application to output random values with the 555 Timer IC.

• Flashlight
simulates and calculates a flashlight application with the 555 Timer IC.

• Sequential Timer
simulates and calculates a sequential timer with two 555 Timer ICs.

• Electrical Characteristics
provides a quick overview of the electrical characteristics of the 555 Timer IC. Link to ICM7555 pdf Datasheet implemented as well.

• Package And Pinouts
shows packages and pinouts of the various types of 555 Timer ICs which are available from semiconductor companies.
