![]() ![]() So, while discharging, if the capacitor voltage becomes less than 1/3 V CC, which is the reference voltage to trigger comparator (comparator 2), the output of the comparator 2 will become high. The voltage across the capacitor is nothing but the trigger voltage. The output of the timer at this point is low. The capacitor C of the timing circuit is connected at Pin 7 of the IC 555 and will discharge through the transistor. As a result, the discharge transistor is driven to saturation (as it is connected to Q’). Initially, on power-up, the flip-flop is RESET (and hence the output of the timer is low). The RC timing circuit incorporates R 1, R 2 and C. The following schematic depicts the internal circuit of the IC 555 operating in astable mode. The timing circuit that determines the width of the output pulse is made up of R 1, R 2 and C. But for normal use, pin 5 is connected to ground via a capacitor (usually 0.01♟), so the external noise from the terminal is filtered out. The control voltage applied at pin 5 will change the threshold voltage level. Hence, when not in use, pin 4 is usually tied to V CC. A momentary low on this pin will reset the timer. Pin 3 is the output terminal and hence the output is available at this pin. The rest of the connections are as follows: pin 8 is connected to supply voltage (V CC). ![]() It will self trigger and act as a free running multivibrator (oscillator). The pins 2 and 6 are connected and hence there is no need for an external trigger pulse. The schematic of the IC 555 as an astable multivibrator along with the three external components is shown below. The IC 555 can be made to work as an astable multivibrator with the addition of three external components: two resistors (R 1 and R 2) and a capacitor (C). It has no stable states and continuously switches between the two states without application of any external trigger.
