In this post I have explained how IC 555 can be used for making 10 different types of monostable multivibrator circuits, such as one-shot type, debounce preventor, retriggerable type, touch switch monostable circuit and many more. A monotsable multivibrator circuit is a configuration in which, a short momentary pulse at the input of the circuit […]

10 Best Timer Circuit Diagrams using IC 555
The circuits I have explained here are 10 best small timer circuits using the versatile chip IC 555, which generates predetermined time intervals in response to momentary input triggers. The time intervals can be used for keeping a relay controlled load ON or activated for the desired amount of time and an automatic switch OFF […]
7 Interesting IC 555 Siren and Alarm Circuits
In this post I have explained how to use IC 555 to create 7 interesting siren and alarm sound effect generator circuits. The versatile astable multivbrator configuration of IC 555 allows us to implement it for making various types of sirens and alarm circuits. This becomes possible because an astable is basically a waveform generator, […]
Switching Two Alternate Loads ON/OFF with IC 555
In this post I have explained how to make a simple IC 555 based alternate relay timer circuit for toggling a couple of loads alternately with a specified length of delay, as determined by the calculated values of the relevant components. The idea was requested by Mr. Sanjoy. Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design Referring […]
Stepper Motor Driver Circuit using IC 555
In this project we are going learn how to make a simple unipolar stepper motor driver circuit using 555 timer IC. Apart from 555 timer we also need IC CD 4017 which is a decade counter IC. By Ankit Negi Any unipolar motor can be connected to this circuit for performing specific task, though you […]
IC 555 Pin Description and Working [with Formulas]
In this post I have explained the how IC 555 works, its basic pinout working details and how to configure the IC in its standard or popular astable, bistable, and monostable circuit modes. The post also details the various formulas for calculating the IC 555 parameters. Introduction Our hobby world would be less interesting without […]
