Timers for Timing Delays and Oscillator
Applications in Commercial, Industrial
and Military Equipment
The CA555 and CA555C are highly stable timers for use in
precision timing and oscillator applications. As timers, these
monolithic integrated circuits are capable of producing
accurate time delays for periods ranging from microseconds
through hours. These devices are also useful for astable
oscillator operation and can maintain an accurately
controlled free running frequency and duty cycle with only
two external resistors and one capacitor.
The circuits of the CA555 and CA555C may be triggered by
the falling edge of the waveform signal, and the output of
these circuits can source or sink up to a 200mA current or
drive TTL circuits.
These types are direct replacements for industry types in
packages with similar terminal arrangements e.g. SE555
and NE555, MC1555andMC1455,respectively.The CA555
type circuits are intended for applications requiring premium
electrical performance. The CA555C type circuits are
intended for applications requiring less stringent electrical
characteristics.

NOTES:
2. When the output is in a high state, the DC supply current is typically 1mA less than the low state value.
3. The threshold current will determine the sum of the values of R1 and R2 to be used in Figure 4 (astable operation); the maximum total
R1 + R2 = 20MΩ.
