NE556N

The NE556, SA556 and SE556 dual monolithic
timing circuits are highly stable controllers
capable of producing accurate time delays or
oscillation. In the time delay mode of operation,
the time is precisely controlled by one external
resistor and capacitor. For a stable operation as
an oscillator, the free running frequency and the
duty cycle are both accurately controlled with two
external resistors and one capacitor.
The circuits may be triggered and reset on falling
waveforms, and the output structure can source
or sink up to 200 mA.
