This article is part of the 2022 April 1st series in the Humor topic within our Series Library. The ubiquitous 1971 digital miracle—the 555 Timer—is important, replete with 25 transistors, 15 ...

Here is a circuit that will output a PWM wave good for varying the speed of a DC motor. Why is this not going to work? How would you fix it? The 555 timer can’t handle that type of load, and it is not ...

Here this circuit is based on the principle of audio amplification using operational amplifier and pulse width modulation using 555 Timer. In this article we are describing the principle, design and ...

In this project, I'll make a small circuit capable of controlling a servo, it is a servo tester made out of a 555 timer IC.

The 555 timer IC is a handful of active components all baked into one beautifully useful 8 pin package. Originally designed for timing purposes, they became ubiquitous parts that can achieve almost ...

[Kenneth Finnegan] took the focus of a great design and redirected it to solve his own problem. What results is this lead acid battery charger based on the 555 timer. It’s not a top-of-the-line, all ...
