Application Information
Table 1 below is the basic operating t able of 555 timer.
When the low signa l input is appli ed to the reset te rminal, the timer outpu t remains low reg ardless of the thr eshold vo lt-
age or the trig ger volt age. Only when the high s ignal is app lied to the res et terminal, the timer's output ch anges acco rd-
ing to threshol d voltage and trigger voltage.
When the threshold voltage exceeds 2/3 of the supply voltage while the timer output is high, the timer's internal dis-
charge transi sto r turns on, lowering the thresho ld voltage to below 1/3 of the supply voltage. Du rin g th is ti me , t he timer
output is maintained low. Later, if a low signal is applied to the trigger voltage so that it becomes 1/3 of the supply volt-
age, the timer's internal discharge transistor turns off, increasing the threshold voltage and driving the timer output
again at high.

1. Monostable Operation
Figure 2 illustrates a mono stable circuit. In this mode, the timer genera tes a fixe d pul se whe nev er the trigg er voltage
falls below VCC/3. When the trigger pulse voltage applied to the #2 pin falls below VCC/3 while the timer output is low,
the timer's intern al flip -flo p turns the discharging transistor off and causes the timer output to be co me hig h by cha rgi ng
the external capacitor C1 and setting the flip-flop output at the same time.
The voltage across the external capacitor C1, VC1 increases exponentially with the time constant t = RA*C and
reaches 2 VCC/3 at tD = 1.1 RA*C. Hence, capacitor C1 is charged through resistor RA. The greater the time constant
RAC, the longer it takes for the VC1 to reac h 2 VCC/3. In other words, the time constant RAC controls the output pulse
width.
When the applied vo ltage to the capacitor C1 reaches 2 VCC/3, the compa rato r on t he tri gg er te rmi na l res ets the flip-
flop, turning the discharging transistor on. At this time, C1 begins to discharge and the timer output converts to low.
In this way, the timer operating in the monostable repeats the above process. Figure 3 shows the time constant rela-
tionship based on RA and C. Figure 4 shows the general waveforms during the monostable operation.
It must be noted that, for a normal operation, the trigger pulse voltage needs to maintain a minimum of VCC/3 before
the timer output turns low. That is, although the output remains unaffected even if a different trigger pulse is applied
while the output is high, it may be affected and the waveform does not operate properly if the trigger pulse voltage at
the end of the output pulse remains at below VCC/3. Figure 5 shows such a timer output abnormality.

An astab le timer ope ration is ac hieved b y adding res istor RB to Figure 2 a nd config uring as shown on Fi gure 6. In t he
astable operati on, the trig ger terminal and the thresh old termin al are con necte d so that a se lf-trig ger is formed , operat-
ing as a multi -vi brator . Whe n the timer output is high, its internal discharging tran si st or. turns off and the VC1 increases
by exponential function with the time constant (RA+RB)*C.
When the VC1, or the threshold voltage, reaches 2 VCC/3; the comparator output on the trigger terminal becomes
high, resetti ng the F/ F and causing the timer o utp ut to bec ome lo w. This turns on the d is ch arg ing tra ns is tor an d the C1
discharges through the discharging channel formed by RB and the discharging transistor. When the VC1 falls below
VCC/3, the comparator output on the trigger terminal becomes high and the timer output becomes high again. The dis-
charging transistor turns off and the VC1 rises again.
In the above proc ess, the secti on where the timer o utput is high is t he time it t akes for the V C1 to rise from VCC/3 to 2
VCC/3, and the section where the timer output is low is the time it takes for the VC1 to drop from 2 VCC/3 to VCC/3.
When timer output is high, the equivalent circuit for charging capacitor C1 is as follows:
Since the duration of the timer output high state (tL) is the amount of time it takes for the VC1(t) to reach 2 VCC/3,

The equivalent circuit for discharging capacitor C1, when timer output is low is, as follows:
Since the duration of the timer output low state (tL) is the amount of time it takes for the VC1(t) to reach VCC/3,
Since RD is normally RB>>RD although related to the size of discharging transistor,
tL = 0.693RBC1 (10)
Consquently, if the timer operates in astable, the period is the same with
't = tH+tL = 0.693(RA+RB)C1+0.693RBC1 = 0.693(RA+2RB)C1'
because the period is the sum of the charge time and discharge time. Since frequency is the reciprocal of the period,
the following applies:

3. Frequency Divider
By adjusting the length of the timing cycle, the basic circuit of Figure 1 can be made to operate as a frequency divider.
Figure 9. illustrates a divide-by-three circuit that makes use of the fact that retriggering cannot occur during the timing
cycle.
4. Pulse Width Modulation
The timer output waveform may be changed by modulating the control voltage applied to the timer's pin 5 and chang-
ing the referenc e of the timer's internal comparators. Figure 10 illustrates the pulse width modulation circuit.
When the continu ous trigger puls e train is appli ed in the monost able mode , the timer outp ut width is modulated ac cord-
ing to the signal applied to the control terminal. Sine wave, as well as other waveforms, may be applied as a signal to
the control terminal. Figure 11 shows the example of pulse width modulation waveform.

5. Pulse Position Modulation
If the modulating signal is applied to the control terminal while the timer is connected for the astable operation, as in
Figure 12, the timer becomes a pulse position modulator.
In the pulse position modulator, the reference of the timer's internal comparators is modulated, which modulates the
timer output ac cording to the modulation signal applied to the control terminal.

wave shape be used.
6. Linear Ramp
When the pull -up resistor RA in the monostable circuit shown in Figure 2 is replaced with constant current source, the
VC1 increases linearly, generating a linear ramp. Figure 14 shows the linea r ramp generating c ircuit and Fig ure 15 illus-
trates the generated linear ramp waveforms.

In Figure 14, current source is created by PNP transistor Q1 and resistor R1, R2, and RE.
For example, if VCC = 15 V, RE = 20 kΩ, R1 = 5 kΩ, R2 = 10 kΩ, and VBE = 0.7 V,
VE=0.7 V+10 V=10.7 V, and
IC=(15-10.7) / 20 k=0.215 mA.
When the trigg er st art s in a time r con figured as s hown i n Fig ure 14 , the cu rrent fl owing through cap a citor C1 bec omes
a constant current generated by PNP transistor and re sistors.
Hence, the VC is a linea r ramp func tion a s sh own in Figu re 15. The g radien t S of the line ar ramp f uncti on is defin ed as
follows:
Here the Vp-p is the peak-to-peak voltage.
If the electric charge amount accumulated in the capacitor is divided by the capacitance, the VC comes out as follows:
V = Q/C (15)
The above equation divided on both sides by t gives:
and may be simplified into the following equation:
S = I/C (17)
In other words, the gradient of the linear ramp function appearing across the capacitor can be obtained by using the
constant current flowing through the capacitor.
If the const a nt cu rrent flow through the capaci tor is 0.215 mA an d th e ca pacitance is 0.02 μF, the gradient of the ra mp
function at both ends of the capacitor is S = 0.215 m / 0.022 μ = 9.77 V/ms.

ANTI-COUNTERFEITING POLICY
Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy. Fairchild's Anti-Counterfeiting Policy is also stated on our external website, www.fairchildsemi.com,
under Sales Support.
Counterfeiting of semiconductor parts is a growing problem in the industry. All manufacturers of semiconductor products are experiencing counterfeiting of their
parts. Customers who inadvertently purchase counterfeit parts experience many problems such as loss of brand reputation, substandard performance, failed
applications, and increased cost of production and manufacturing delays. Fairchild is taking strong measures to protect ourselves and our customers from the
proliferation of counterfeit parts. Fairchild strongly encourages customers to purchase Fairchild parts either directly from Fairchild or from Authorized Fairchild
Distributors who are listed by country on our web page cited above. Products customers buy either from Fairchild directly or from Authorized Fairchild Distributors
are genuine parts, have full traceability, meet Fairchild's quality standards for handling and storage and provide access to Fairchild's full range of up-to-date technical
and product information. Fairchild and our Authorized Distributors will stand behind all warranties and will appropriately address any warranty issues that may arise.
Fairchild will not provide any warranty coverage or other assistance for parts bought from Unauthorized Sources. Fairchild is committed to combat this global
problem and encourage our customers to do their part in stopping this practice by buying direct or from authorized distributors.
