The above circuit uses a 555 timer U1 in mono stable mode. If once push button is pressed, it drives pin2 of timer momentarily to ground that triggers the 555 to deliver a high output at pin 3 to ...

This timer was designed mainly to switch off a portable radio after some time: in this way, one can fall asleep on the sand or on a hammock, resting assured that the receiver will switch off ...

In modern homes, apartments, and offices, multiple entrance doors are common. Traditionally, each door requires a separate doorbell, which increases cost and ...

Part of Design and Technology Electronic and microelectronic control systems The 555 timer is a versatile integrated circuit (IC) that can control timing in electronic circuits. It's one of the most ...

If you need a precise time, you could use a microcontroller. Of course, then all your friends will say “Could have done that with a 555!” But the 555 isn’t magic — it uses a capacitor and a comparator ...

CircuitLab is an electronics simulator which you can run in a browser. Above you can see one of the example circuits provided to help show the power of the application. You can build your schematic ...
