Description
The KA558/KA558B series are monolithic Quad Timers
which can be used to produce four entirely independent timing functions. These highly stable, general purpose controllers can be used in a monostable mode to produce
accurate time delays, from microseconds to hours. The time
is precisely controlled by one external resistor and one
capacitor in the time delay mode. A stable mode can be operated using two of four time sections.

3. Output structure is open collector which requires a pull up resistor to V
The output is normally low sinking current.
