NE556N IC TIMER TI DIP-14 NE556N

Product Overview: The NE556N is a dual precision monolithic timing circuit that provides two independent timers of the NE555 type in a single package. These circuits can operate in either astable (free-running) or monostable (one-shot) modes, with the timing precisely controlled by an external resistor-capacitor (RC) network per channel. The basic timing period can be actively modified by applying a modulation voltage to the control-voltage (CONT) pin. Each independent timer is capable of sinking or sourcing up to 200 mA, making the outputs fully TTL-compatible. Typical applications cover precision timing from microseconds to hours, pulse generation, sequential timing, pulse-width modulation (PWM), pulse-position modulation (PPM), and missing-pulse detection.
