Simple IC 555 Inverter Circuit: 6 Designs Explored
The 6 unique designs below explains us how an ordinary single IC 555 astable multivibrator could be used effectively to make an inverter without involving complex stages. No doubt IC 555 is a versatile IC which has many applications in the electronic world. However when it comes to inverters, IC 555 becomes ideally suitable for […]
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 […]
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 […]

Audio/Video Representation Circuit Operation This electronic set reset circuit is very simple, easy to implement and very useful. It can provide you many applications options in cases where it may be necessary to toggle (switch […]
Input Trigger Synchronized Monostable Timer Using IC 555
Here we study a simple IC 555 based monostable circuit whose output monostable time duration starts only after the input trigger is released thus making sure that the trigger ON time duration is added with the monostable’s pre-programmed ON time duration. The idea was requested by Mr. John Brogan Technical Specifications I would like to […]
