The NE555 / LM555 is the world's most popular timer IC. It's probably the most popular IC of all. Compact, simple circuit design. Tons and tons of resource literature. Check the excellent AN170 and other links below, or Google search for literally thousands of application sites with circuits galore.
* Timing from Microseconds to HOURS
* Precision Pulse Generation / Timing
* Use a single 4 to 16 VDC supply
* Excellent temperature stability 0.005% / C
* Monostable or Astable Operation
* Countless Application and Information Sources
Note: IC's may be marked either with the equivalent 'NE' or 'LM' prefixes, depending on the manufacturer.
