■ OUTPUT COMPATIBLE WITH TTL,CMOS
AND LOGIC MOS
DESCRIPTION
The TS556 is a dual CMOS timer which offers
very low consumption (I
V
=+5V versus I
CC
frequency f
cc(TYP)
TS556 = 2.7MHz versus f
f(max.)
NE556 = 0.1 MHz)
Thus, either in Monostable or Astable mode, tim-
ing remains very accurate.
The TS556 provides reduced supply current
spikes during output transitions, which enables
the use of low er decoupling capacitors compa red
to those required by bipolar NE556.
Timing capacitors can a lso be minimized due t o
high input impedance (10
