DESCRIPTION/ORDERING INFORMATION
These devices provide two independent timing circuits of the NA555, NE555, SA555, or SE555 type in each
package. These circuits can be operated in the astable or the monostable mode with external resistor-capacitor
(RC) timing control. The basic timing provided by the RC time constant can be controlled actively by modulating
the bias of the control-voltage input.
The threshold (THRES) and trigger (TRIG) levels normally are two-thirds and one-third, respectively, of V
CC
.
These levels can be altered by using the control voltage (CONT) terminal. When the trigger input falls below
trigger level, the flip-flop is set and the output goes high. If the trigger input is above the trigger level and the
threshold input is above the threshold level, the flip-flop is reset, and the output is low. The reset (RESET) input
can override all other inputs and can be used to initiate a new timing cycle. When RESET goes low, the flip-flop
is reset and the output goes low. When the output is low, a low-impedance path is provided between the
discharge (DISCH) terminal and ground (GND).

Stresses beyond those listed under "absolute maximum ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under "recommended operating
conditions" is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltage values are with respect to network ground terminal.

This parameter influences the maximum value of the timing resistors R and R
B
in the circuit of
Figure 1.
For example, when V
CC
= 5 V,
the maximum value is R = R
A
+ R
B
≈
3.4 MΩ, and for V
CC
= 15 V, the maximum value is
≈
