    The 555 timer integrated circuit can be used to create accurate clock signals, pulse width modulated signals, and other electronic functions. It works by producing a pulse when its trigger pin is activated, with the pulse length determined by how long it takes a connected capacitor to charge and discharge. Common uses include debouncing switches, modulating signals, and flashing lights in a wig-wag pattern. The 555 timer has 8 pins including power, ground, trigger, output, reset, threshold, discharge, and control pins.

    555 Timer Integrated Circuit (IC)


    The 555 timer integrated circuit (IC) has become a
    mainstay in electronics design. A 555 timer will produce a pulse
    when a trigger signal is applied to it. The pulse length is
    determined by the amount of time it takes to charge and discharge
    a capacitor connected to a 555 timer. A 555 timer can be used to
    debounce switches, modulate signals, create accurate clock
    signals, create pulse width modulated (PWM) signals, etc. A 555 timer can be obtained from
    various manufacturers including Fairchild Semiconductor and National Semiconductor. A 555
    timer is shown below.

    Description of the 555 timer pins


    Pin 1 GND Ground Connection
    Pin 2 Trigger 555 timer triggers when this pin transitions from voltage at VCC to 33% v
    voltage at VCC. Output pin goes high when triggered
    Pin 3 Output Output pin of 555 timer
    Pin 4 Reset Resets 555 timer when low
    Pin 5 Control Voltage Used to change Threshold and Trigger set point voltages and is
    rarely used
    Pin 6 Threshold Used to detect when the capacitor has charged. The Output pin goes low
    when the capacitor has charged to 66.6% of VCC.
    Pin 7 Discharge Used to discharge the capacitor
    Pin 8 VCC 5V to 15V supply input
    Simple Wig-Wag Lamp Flasher

    The astable mode, which is basically formed by joining pin #2 and 6 of the IC together.
    This attributes the circuit with the property of running freely as a multivibrator through self-
    triggering. The charging of the external timing capacitor takes place with the help of the
    resistors Ra/Rb, and the discharging process completes through Rb. Therefore the duty cycle of
    the circuit can be accurately confirmed by adjusting the ratio of resistors Ra/Rb.
    The IC 555 runs freely, setting and resetting itself or simply switches an external
    load (LEDs) alternately to produce a flashing or a wig-wag effect. If a 12 volt supply is
    used, then each channel can be connected with 4 LEDs each, making the illuminations
    more interesting starts oscillating at a frequency fixed, set externally through R1 and C1.
    In this design the circuit exploits this feature and dazzling.
