Designing astable circuits using the industry-standard 555 timer is a straightforward process when duty cycles are 50% or greater. However, you must overcome the many pitfalls of low-duty-cycle ...

Wow the engineering world with your unique design: Design Ideas Submission Guide. Figure 1’s circuit can generate time delay of seconds to hours without using high value capacitors. This simple, ...

Most computerized counters have many of the same characteristics as electronic timers, including high-speed counting, remote or automatic reset, and pushbutton (or keyboard) reset.

Just about anything can be made with a 555 Timer, and every circuit is fun to build, which I show in my book “Essential 555 IC: Design, Configure, and Create Clever Circuits.” ...

Sometimes the best inspiration is limitation. The 555 timer does “one thing” — compares a voltage to a couple thresholds and outputs a signal accordingly. It’s two comparators, a voltage ...
