555 Timer IC Flashcards

Front

Function and use of a 555 integrated circuit

Back

Provides astable outputs

Front

Output waveforms for astable circuits

Back

Interpretation is required

Front

Use of 555 timer IC

Back

Can be used as monostable or astable

Front

555 timer IC's leg configuration

Back

Numbers go down one side and up the other

Front

Astable mode in a 555 timer circuit

Back

Astable mode means the output is not stable in either the on or off state, but instead pulses on and off continuously.

Front

Pin connection in astable timer

Back

In an astable timer, pins 2 and 6 are joined together.

Front

Output states in astable mode

Back

The output of the 555 timer in astable mode continuously cycles through two output states: high and low.

Front

Switch type for astable circuit

Back

The input switch should be a single pole single throw switch because a constant power source is required.

Front

The durations of the low and high states in a square wave may differ.

Back

T_m and T_s can be different periods of time.

Front

The capacitor in the circuit is labeled with a specific value.

Back

The capacitor is 100µF.
