DESCRIP T IO N
TheNE556 dual monolithictiming circuit is a highly
stablecontrollercapableofproducingaccuratetime
delaysor oscillation.In the time delaymode of operation,the time ispreciselycontrolledby oneexternalresistorand capacitor.For a stableoperationas
anoscillator,thefreerunningfrequencyandtheduty
cycleare both accuratelycontrolledwith two externalresistorsand one capacitor.Thecircuit maybe
triggered and reset on falling waveforms, and the
outputstructurecansourceor sink up to 200mA.
