DESCRIPTION
TheTS556isa dualCMOStimerwhichoffersvery
low consumption(Icc
Icc
(f
Thus, eitherin Monostable or Astable mode, timing remainsvery accurate.
The TS556 provides reduced supply current
spikes during output transitions, which enables
the useof lower decouplingcapacitorscompared
to those required by bipolarNE556.
Timing capacitors can also be minimized due to
high input impedance (10

circuit remains in this state until the set time has
elapsed,even if it is triggered again during this
interval. The duration of the output HIGH state is
given by t = 1.1 R x C.
Noticethat sincethe chargerateand thethreshold
level of the comparator are both directly proportional to supplyvoltage, the timing intervalis independent of supply. Applying a negative pulse
simultaneouslyto the Reset terminal (pin 4 or 10)
and the Trigger terminal (pin 2 or 8) during the
timing cycledischargesthe externalcapacitorand
causesthecycletostart over.Thetimingcyclenow
starts on the positive edge of the reset pulse.
During the time the reset pulse is applied, the
output is driven to its LOWstate.
When a negative trigger pulse is applied to the
trigger terminal, the flip-flop is set, releasing the
shortcircuit acrossthe externalcapacitorand driving the output HIGH. The voltage across the capacitor increases exponentially with the time
constant τ =R xC.
Whenthe voltage across the capacitor equals 2/3
V
, thecomparatorresetsthe flip-flopwhich then
CC
discharges the capacitor rapidly and drives the
output to its LOWstate.

this mode of operation.
When Reset is not used, it should be tied high to
avoid any possible or false triggering.

ASTABLEOPERATION
When the circuitis connectedas shown in figure 4
it triggersitselfandfree runsas amultivibrator.The
externalcapacitor chargesthrough R
discharges through R
only. Thus the duty cycle

andRBand

may be precisely set by the ratio of these two
resistors.
In the astable mode of operation, C charges and
dischargesbetween1/3 V
and2/3 VCC.Asinthe
CC
triggered mode, the charge and discharge times
and therefore frequency, are independent of the
supplyvoltage.
