The 555 IC is an electronic chip with 8 pins, it is a popular IC that most students and hobbyists use in their projects.
The chip is primarily used for Timer projects but it has many many uses like LED flasher, remote switch etc
In this page, we will learn about it’s pinout, max voltage etc. You can download it’s data sheet also
555 Pinout Diagram
- Ground ( – Negative )
- Trigger
- Output
- Reset
- Control
- Threshold
- Discharge
- VCC (+ Positive )
Maximum Voltage – 15V but absolute maximum voltage before the chip can fry is 18V
Minimum Voltage is 4.5V but i have used a 555 timer with 3V – 3.7V power supply
Uses: Timer circuits, Led flashing circuits. etc
