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 […]

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 […]
How to Control a Servo Motor using IC 555
In this project I have explained the basic specifications of a servo motor and also how to control a Servo Motor using a 555 timer IC, and just two push buttons. WHY SERVO? Servo Motors are used in variety of fields. These are mainly used as actuators in those areas where we need a precise […]
Simple IC 555 Inverter Circuit: 5 Designs Explored
The IC 555 is a popular timer IC which we can use for making different types of inverter circuits. With a few extra components we can make the IC 555 generate switching pulses, and then we can use these pulses for converting battery DC into AC power. In this article we will look at 5 […]
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 […]
