Description
The LM556/NE556 series dual monolithic timing circuits
are a highly stable controller capable of producing accurate
time delays or oscillation. The LM556/NE556 is a dual
LM555. Timing is provided an external resistor and capaci-
tor for each timing function. The two timers operate inde-
pendently of each other, sharing only V
CC
and ground. The
circuits may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms.
The output structures may sink or source 200mA.

Notes:
*1. Supply current when output is high is typically 1.0mA less at V
CC
= 5V
*2. Tested at V
CC
= 5V and V
CC
= 15V
*3. This will determine the maximum value of R
A
+ R
B
for 15V operation.
The maximum total R = 20MΩ, and for 5V operation the maximum total R = 6.6MΩ.
*4. Matching characteristics refer to the difference between performance characteristics of each timer section in the monostable
mode.
*5. As reset voltage lowers, timing is inhibited and then the output goes low.
