Description

The NE556 series dual monolithic timing circuits are a highly stable controller capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. The NE556 is a dual LM555. Timing is provided an external resistor and capacitor for each timing function. The two timers operate independently of each other, sharing only VCC and ground. The circuits may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms. The output structures may sink or source 200mA.
