PC1555
TIMER CIRCUIT
The
µ
PC1555 is a powerful integrated circuit. Adding a few external parts to it can turn it into various types of
timing signal generators, such as monostable and astable multivibrators. It has trigger, threshold, and control pins.
Inputting a signal to the reset pin can stop the circuit operation easily. In addition, the output can sink current as high
as 200 mA (maximum). So, it can be used to drive relays and lamps.

This is an external voltage that can be applied to the output pin without deteriorating the quality of the
product or causing damage to the product.
Be sure to use the product within the rated value under any conditions where coils are inserted or power
is turned on or off. The output voltage that can be obtained during normal operation is within the output
saturation voltage range.
