Questions & Answers

Is there a voltage range for the power supply?

The answer is that it depends on the situation. I don't recall the manufacturer part number, but I'll contact the seller and look it up on the manufacturer's data sheet. TTL logic levels are used by the majority of applications. This component is also available in CMOS.

How are the pins arranged?

Despite the fact that I am new to electronics, I have used several of these chips on my breadboards. The pins function in the same way as standard internet descriptions, e.g. g,, Wikipedia's "555 timer IC" br>In the first set of pins, it fits across the center channel with no gaps (it is small). 17GNDPowerGround supply: 555 Pin556 PinPin namePin directionPin purpose[2]br>555 Pin556 PinPin namePin directionPin purpose[2]br>555 Pin556 PinPin namePin directionPin purpose[2]br>555 Pin556 PinP The ground reference voltage (zero volts) is connected to this pin.

The CONT input can be used to change the device's timing characteristics; however, since this pin is rarely used, a 10 nF decoupling capacitor (film or C0G) should be connected between it and GND to ensure that electrical noise does not affect the internal voltage divider.

(Note: The minimum voltage rating for CMOS timers is lower, and it varies by part number. ) In the derivatives table, look at the supply min and max columns. Due to current surges during output switching, a decoupling capacitor is required for bipolar timers. [2]

Is it really $8 for a 555 timer? Is this for real?

There are 555 timers in this game
5/5

I haven't tested them all for functionality, but they appear to be working. br>br>They are 555 timers. If there are a few bad ones, I guess I'll have to put up with it. They're not very expensive. I only got them so I could be cool on the intrawebz and tell people not to use a microcontroller when a 555 will suffice without feeling like a hypocrite, though I'll probably still use a microcontroller. Then I'll be sick and sleepless, but at least I'll be honest in this review.

The first one I tried had an internal short between the trigger and output pins, so it's possible this one will be a dud
3/5

Within seconds of turning on the circuit, I could smell it cooking, and it quickly heated up. I took it out and replaced it with a second chip, which has been working fine for hours with no problems. br>br>I'll update the review once I've had more time to test more of them, but I doubt I'll find any more unless I was extremely (un)lucky in picking the one bad chip out of the bunch.

They are successful
5/5

I was itching to get my hands on some NE555s. So far, I've had a lot of fun. They were all pressed into one piece of foam, not loose, and well wrapped. If I ever require another 50 of these, I will gladly purchase them from here.

There are no issues at all
5/5

Bought for low-cost prototyping on breadboards with the intention of replacing them with higher-quality chips in the final product; however, each one I've tried so far has worked flawlessly, so I may end up using them in the finished projects as well. The price is unbeatable.

The 555 timer IC is an oldie but goodie
5/5

50 pieces of the old standby 555 timer ic, to be exact. The presentation of the product could have been more appealing. They've stuck the leads into a piece of foam and wrapped the entire bundle in plastic, making it difficult to separate individual pieces without bending the leads. Having said that, I have yet to bend any leads. I've only used a few of these so far, but they've all worked well and arrived in good condition. They're good ics; just be careful when taking them out of the package.

This is a fantastic offer
5/5

Even after exceeding MCIGICM's ratings and listed ratings of well-known brands, I have yet to experience any part failures from them. Although the pins bend more easily than those from other brands, they perform just as well. You can't go wrong with this deal.

The markings aren't very light - They're almost undetectable! For an Amazon product, the price is reasonable - You might be able to find it on a website dedicated to experimenter parts - However, the chips I received had no painted markings! What little identification there is appears to be etched into the chip's surface, visible only under high magnification and with a strong light source
3/5

Before putting them in the parts drawer, I strongly advise you to label them. I haven't tested them yet, but in this day and age, receiving a bad chip is extremely rare.

I finally got around to trying out a couple of these, and they were fantastic.
