LM556  Product Folder

The LM556 Dual timing circuit is a highly stable controller capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. The 556 is a dual 555. Timing is provided by an external resistor and capacitor for each timing function. The two timers operate independently 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.
