The NE555N is a popular integrated circuit (IC) timer chip, part of the NE555 series, which is commonly used in various timing and oscillator applications. Here are some key features and specifications of the NE555N:
Type: Timer IC (Integrated Circuit).
Operating Modes: The NE555N can operate in several modes, including astable (free-running oscillator), monostable (one-shot), and bistable (flip-flop).
Supply Voltage Range: Typically operates from a single power supply voltage in the range of 4.5 volts to 15 volts.
Output Drive: The NE555N can source or sink up to 200 mA of output current.
Timing Capacitor Range: Timing capacitors can range from a few picofarads to tens of microfarads, depending on the desired timing range and application.
Adjustable Timing: The timing of the NE555N can be adjusted using external resistors and capacitors.
Frequency Range: The NE555N can generate frequencies from less than 1 Hz to several hundred kilohertz, depending on the external components used.
Duty Cycle Control: In astable mode, the duty cycle (ratio of ON time to total period) can be adjusted by changing the values of external resistors.
Package: The NE555N is commonly available in an 8-pin Dual Inline Package (DIP-8) or surface-mount packages.
Applications: The NE555N is widely used in various applications, including pulse generation, timers, frequency dividers, LED flashers, tone generation, voltage-controlled oscillators, and precision timing circuits.
Manufacturer: The NE555N is manufactured by various semiconductor companies, including Texas Instruments, STMicroelectronics, and others.
