In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of controlling a servo, it is a servo tester made out of a 555 timer IC.

This stunning piece of art is [Emily Velasco’s] take on the Atari Punk Console. It’s a freeform circuit that synthesizes sound using 555 timers. The circuit has been around for a long time, but her ...

[Bob] has been busy lately putting the finishing touches on three different projects that he plans on entering into the 555 Design Contest. His first entry is a low-power H-bridge, which can be used ...

555 Timer IC as an astable multivibrator Circuit diagram and working are explained very clearly in this post. 555 Timer IC as an astable multivibrator Circuit diagram and working are explained very ...

Chris Gammell from the blog The amp hour and Analog Life is running a 555 timer IC design contest. EDN’s Mike Demler wrote it up on his blog yesterday. So Mike or Chris asked me to do a mention on ...

This voltage-booster circuit for driving one or more white LEDs uses a 555 timer as its main element (see the figure). The timer, IC1, functions as a resettable astable multivibrator where R1, R2, and ...

Hans Camenzind, the designer of the popular 555 timer IC died this week in Silicon Valley. He was 78. My condolences to his family and friends. Hans came to the U.S. from Switzerland in 1960. He ...

The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) which is used in a variety of timer, delay, pulse generation, and oscillator applications. 555 Signals and Pinout (8 pin DIP) Figure below shows the ...
