Ic 555 Pin Diagram Explanation. Connects to the 0v power supply. When the 555 is triggered via pin 2 the output on pin 3 goes high.
The 555 timer ic is available as an 8 pin metal can an 8 pin mini dip dual in package or a 14 pin dip. For a 555 timer working as a flip flop or as a multi vibrator it has a particular set of configurations. Pin 1 connects the 555 timer chip to ground.
Pin diagram and description some important features of the 555 timer.
This ic consists of 23 transistors 2 diodes and 16 resistors. It should not be connected using a resistor because all the semiconductors inside the ic will heat up due to stray voltage accumulating in it. This will help you instantly recognise the function of each pin. Connects to the 0v power supply.
