A dancing light can be easily constructed using a 555 timer wired in astable mode. Please read the article Astable Multivibrator using 555 Timer before continuing. This circuit blinks two LEDsalternativelywith some delay and it can be easily modified to.... -
The difference between instantaneous frequency and central frequency of the carrier will be directly proportional to the instantaneous value of the amplitude of message signal. 555 Timer wired in Astable Mode can be used for generating Frequency Modulated.... -
As its name indicates it has one stable state and it switches to unstable state for a predetermined time period T when it istriggered. The time period T is determined by the RC time constant in the circuit. Monostable mode of 555 Timer is commonly used for.... -
The 555 IC is wiredin monostable mode of operation. Please read the article Monostable Multivibrator using 555 Timer for more details. In this mode the output is LOW (0V) when there is no triggering, when it istriggeredvia 2nd pin the output goes HIGH (Vcc).... -

Basic Oscillator (Tone Generator) At 1.8 KHz, IC 555 , Here we have an astable oscillator built around 555, which gives an alarm tone of 1.8 KHz directly driving a speaker. This is basic alarm circuit, whic.... -
IC 555, Light Alarm (Sun Up Alarm) , This circuit designed to sound a loud alarm at the break of the dawn especially for those wh cannot wake up even with an alarm clock. Circuit can be modifi.... -
A project with circuit on Working with IC555. IC555 is the most versatile chip and it is (can be) used in all most every kind of application because of its multifunctionality. As we know it s on chip multivibrator means with IC555 one can design astable,.... -
Wireless stepper motor speed control project using laser and IC555. Read to know about basics and circuit construction using a wireless stepper motor which has speed control through laser and IC 555 .. -
This circuit based project demonstrates the working of 555 timer in astable mode to generate pulses of time period 0. 5 second. This pulse can be further used for anything where we need a pulse such as to blink a LED or to create fashionable blinking lights..... -
The first positive pulse from a classic 555-based oscillator is always 1. 6 times longer than the following pulses. The difference is caused by the fact that only during the first cycle C2 starts charging up from 0 V. This is generally not a problem, but.... -
The 555 timer will put out positive pulses. The pulse width is inversely proportional to the difference in voltage between the voltage at "ANALOG IN" and the voltage of the 4. 7uF capacitor(let`s say 2. 5 volts). To calibrate this circuit, hook it up to a.... -
This circuit features an intermittent siren output and automatic reset. It can be operated manually using a key-switch or a hidden switch; but it can also be wired to set itself automatically when you turn-off the ignition. By adding external relays you can.... -
The bi-directional sequencer uses a 4 bit binary up/down counter (CD4516) and two "1 of 8 line decoders" (74HC138 or 74HCT138) to generate the popular "Night Rider" display. A Schmitt Trigger oscillator provides the clock signal for the counter and the rate.... -
This 555 timer circuit toggles a relay when a button is pressed. Pins 2 and 6, the threshold and trigger inputs, are held at 1/2 the supply voltage by the two 10K resistors. When the output is high, the capacitor charges through the 100K resistor, and.... -
The two circuits illustrate using the 555 timer to close a relay for a predetermined amount of time by pressing a momentary N/O push button. The circuit on the left can be used for long time periods where the push button can be pressed and released before.... -
The circuit below illustrates generating a single positive pulse which is delayed relative to the trigger input time. The circuit is similar to the one above but employs two stages so that both the pulse width and delay can be controlled. When the button is.... -
First introduced by the Signetics Corporation as the SE555/NE555 about 1971. Pin connections and functions: (See schematic below for basic circuits) Pin 1 (Ground) - The ground (or common) pin is the most-negative supply potential of the device, which is....
