7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM555 is a highly stable device for generating accurate time delays or oscillation. Additional terminals are
provided for triggering or resetting if desired. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is precisely controlled
by one external resistor and capacitor. For astable operation as an oscillator, the free running frequency and duty
cycle are accurately controlled with two external resistors and one capacitor. The circuit may be triggered and
reset on falling waveforms, and the output circuit can source or sink up to 200mA or driver TTL circuits. The
LM555 are available in 8-pin PDIP, SOIC, and VSSOP packages and is a direct replacement for SE555/NE555.
7.2 Functional Block Diagram
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Direct Replacement for SE555/NE555
The LM555 timer is a direct replacement for SE555 and NE555. It is pin-to-pin compatible so that no schematic
or layout changes are necessary. The LM555 come in an 8-pin PDIP, SOIC, and VSSOP package.
7.3.2 Timing From Microseconds Through Hours
The LM555 has the ability to have timing parameters from the microseconds range to hours. The time delay of
the system can be determined by the time constant of the R and C value used for either the monostable or
astable configuration. A nomograph is available for easy determination of R and C values for various time delays.
7.3.3 Operates in Both Astable and Monostable Mode
The LM555 can operate in both astable and monostable mode depending on the application requirements.
• Monostable mode: The LM555 timer acts as a “one-shot” pulse generator. The pulse beings when the LM555
timer receives a signal at the trigger input that falls below a 1/3 of the voltage supply. The width of the output
pulse is determined by the time constant of an RC network. The output pulse ends when the voltage on the

Feature Description (continued)
capacitor equals 2/3 of the supply voltage. The output pulse width can be extended or shortened depending
on the application by adjusting the R and C values.
• Astable (free-running) mode: The LM555 timer can operate as an oscillator and puts out a continuous stream
of rectangular pulses having a specified frequency. The frequency of the pulse stream depends on the values
of RA, RB, and C.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Monostable Operation
In this mode of operation, the timer functions as a one-shot (Figure 11). The external capacitor is initially held
discharged by a transistor inside the timer. Upon application of a negative trigger pulse of less than 1/3 VCC to
pin 2, the flip-flop is set which both releases the short circuit across the capacitor and drives the output high.
Figure 11. Monostable
The voltage across the capacitor then increases exponentially for a period of t = 1.1 RAC, at the end of which
time the voltage equals 2/3 VCC. The comparator then resets the flip-flop which in turn discharges the capacitor
and drives the output to its low state. Figure 12 shows the waveforms generated in this mode of operation. Since
the charge and the threshold level of the comparator are both directly proportional to supply voltage, the timing
interval is independent of supply.
VCC = 5 V Top Trace: Input 5V/Div.
TIME = 0.1 ms/DIV. Middle Trace: Output 5V/Div.
RA= 9.1 kΩBottom Trace: Capacitor Voltage 2V/Div.
C = 0.01 μF
Figure 12. Monostable Waveforms
During the timing cycle when the output is high, the further application of a trigger pulse will not effect the circuit
so long as the trigger input is returned high at least 10 μs before the end of the timing interval. However the
circuit can be reset during this time by the application of a negative pulse to the reset terminal (pin 4). The output
will then remain in the low state until a trigger pulse is again applied.
When the reset function is not in use, TI recommends connecting the Reset pin to VCC to avoid any possibility of
false triggering.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
Figure 13 is a nomograph for easy determination of R, C values for various time delays.
Figure 13. Time Delay
7.4.2 Astable Operation
If the circuit is connected as shown in Figure 14 (pins 2 and 6 connected) it will trigger itself and free run as a
multivibrator. The external capacitor charges through RA+ RBand discharges through RB. Thus the duty cycle
may be precisely set by the ratio of these two resistors.
Figure 14. Astable
In this mode of operation, the capacitor charges and discharges between 1/3 VCC and 2/3 VCC. As in the
triggered mode, the charge and discharge times, and therefore the frequency are independent of the supply
voltage.
Figure 15 shows the waveforms generated in this mode of operation.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM555 timer can be used a various configurations, but the most commonly used configuration is in
monostable mode. A typical application for the LM555 timer in monostable mode is to turn on an LED for a
specific time duration. A pushbutton is used as the trigger to output a high pulse when trigger pin is pulsed low.
This simple application can be modified to fit any application requirement.
8.2 Typical Application
Figure 17 shows the schematic of the LM555 that flashes an LED in monostable mode.
Figure 17. Schematic of Monostable Mode to Flash an LED
8.2.1 Design Requirements
The main design requirement for this application requires calculating the duration of time for which the output
stays high. The duration of time is dependent on the R and C values (as shown in Figure 17) and can be
calculated by:
t = 1.1 × R × C seconds (6)
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
To allow the LED to flash on for a noticeable amount of time, a 5 second time delay was chosen for this
application. By using Equation 6, RC equals 4.545. If R is selected as 100 kΩ, C = 45.4 µF. The values of R =
100 kΩand C = 47 µF was selected based on standard values of resistors and capacitors. A momentary push
button switch connected to ground is connected to the trigger input with a 10-K current limiting resistor pullup to
the supply voltage. When the push button is pressed, the trigger pin goes to GND. An LED is connected to the
output pin with a current limiting resistor in series from the output of the LM555 to GND. The reset pin is not used
and was connected to the supply voltage.
8.2.2.1 Frequency Divider
The monostable circuit of Figure 11 can be used as a frequency divider by adjusting the length of the timing
cycle. Figure 18 shows the waveforms generated in a divide by three circuit.

TIME = 20 μs/DIV. Middle Trace: Output 2V/Div.
RA= 9.1 kΩBottom Trace: Capa citor 2V/Div.
C = 0.01 μF
Figure 18. Frequency Divider
8.2.2.2 Additional Information
Lower comparator storage time can be as long as 10 μs when pin 2 is driven fully to ground for triggering. This
limits the monostable pulse width to 10 μs minimum.
Delay time reset to output is 0.47 μs typical. Minimum reset pulse width must be 0.3 μs, typical.
Pin 7 current switches within 30 ns of the output (pin 3) voltage.
8.2.3 Application Curves
The data shown below was collected with the circuit used in the typical applications section. The LM555 was
configured in the monostable mode with a time delay of 5.17 s. The waveforms correspond to:
• Top Waveform (Yellow) – Capacitor voltage
• Middle Waveform (Green) – Trigger
• Bottom Waveform (Purple) – Output
As the trigger pin pulses low, the capacitor voltage starts charging and the output goes high. The output goes low
as soon as the capacitor voltage reaches 2/3 of the supply voltage, which is the time delay set by the R and C
value. For this example, the time delay is 5.17 s.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM555 requires a voltage supply within 4.5 V to 16 V. Adequate power supply bypassing is necessary to
protect associated circuitry. The minimum recommended capacitor value is 0.1 μF in parallel with a 1-μF
electrolytic capacitor. Place the bypass capacitors as close as possible to the LM555 and minimize the trace
length.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Standard PCB rules apply to routing the LM555. The 0.1-µF capacitor in parallel with a 1-µF electrolytic capacitor
should be as close as possible to the LM555. The capacitor used for the time delay should also be placed as
close to the discharge pin. A ground plane on the bottom layer can be used to provide better noise immunity and
signal integrity.
Figure 20 is the basic layout for various applications.
• C1 – based on time delay calculations
• C2 – 0.01-µF bypass capacitor for control voltage pin
• C3 – 0.1-µF bypass ceramic capacitor
• C4 – 1-µF electrolytic bypass capacitor
• R1 – based on time delay calculations
• U1 – LMC555

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) reserves the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other changes to its
semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest issue. Buyers
should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete.
TI’s published terms of sale for semiconductor products (http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/stdterms.htm) apply to the sale of packaged integrated
circuit products that TI has qualified and released to market. Additional terms may apply to the use or sale of other types of TI products and
services.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is
accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such reproduced
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI products or services with statements
different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the
associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyers and others who are developing systems that incorporate TI products (collectively, “Designers”) understand and agree that Designers
remain responsible for using their independent analysis, evaluation and judgment in designing their applications and that Designers have
full and exclusive responsibility to assure the safety of Designers' applications and compliance of their applications (and of all TI products
used in or for Designers’ applications) with all applicable regulations, laws and other applicable requirements. Designer represents that, with
respect to their applications, Designer has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards that (1) anticipate dangerous
consequences of failures, (2) monitor failures and their consequences, and (3) lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and
take appropriate actions. Designer agrees that prior to using or distributing any applications that include TI products, Designer will
thoroughly test such applications and the functionality of such TI products as used in such applications.
TI’s provision of technical, application or other design advice, quality characterization, reliability data or other services or information,
including, but not limited to, reference designs and materials relating to evaluation modules, (collectively, “TI Resources”) are intended to
assist designers who are developing applications that incorporate TI products; by downloading, accessing or using TI Resources in any
way, Designer (individually or, if Designer is acting on behalf of a company, Designer’s company) agrees to use any particular TI Resource
solely for this purpose and subject to the terms of this Notice.
TI’s provision of TI Resources does not expand or otherwise alter TI’s applicable published warranties or warranty disclaimers for TI
products, and no additional obligations or liabilities arise from TI providing such TI Resources. TI reserves the right to make corrections,
enhancements, improvements and other changes to its TI Resources. TI has not conducted any testing other than that specifically
described in the published documentation for a particular TI Resource.
Designer is authorized to use, copy and modify any individual TI Resource only in connection with the development of applications that
include the TI product(s) identified in such TI Resource. NO OTHER LICENSE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY ESTOPPEL OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY OTHER TI INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT, AND NO LICENSE TO ANY TECHNOLOGY OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
RIGHT OF TI OR ANY THIRD PARTY IS GRANTED HEREIN, including but not limited to any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
regarding or referencing third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services, or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of TI Resources may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
TI RESOURCES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS. TI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS, TITLE, ANY EPIDEMIC FAILURE WARRANTY AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHTS. TI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR AND SHALL NOT DEFEND OR INDEMNIFY DESIGNER AGAINST ANY CLAIM,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY INFRINGEMENT CLAIM THAT RELATES TO OR IS BASED ON ANY COMBINATION OF
PRODUCTS EVEN IF DESCRIBED IN TI RESOURCES OR OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TI BE LIABLE FOR ANY ACTUAL,
DIRECT, SPECIAL, COLLATERAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF TI RESOURCES OR USE THEREOF, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER TI HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s non-
compliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
