Dual timer

NE/SA/SE556/NE556-1

DESCRIPTION
Both the 556 and 556-1 Dual Monolithic timing circuits are highly stable controllers capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. The 556 and 556-1 are a dual 555. Timing is provided by an external resistor and capacitor for each timing function. The two timers operate independently of each other, sharing only VCC and ground. The circuits may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms. The output structures may sink or source 200mA.

NOTES: 1. Supply current when output is high is typically 1.0mA less. 2. Tested at VCC=5V and VCC=15V. 3. This will determine maximum value of RA+RB. For 15V operation, the max total R=10M, and for 5V operation, the maximum total R=3.4M. 4. Matching characteristics refer to the difference between performance characteristics for each timer section in the monostable mode. 5. Specified with trigger input high. In order to guarantee reset the voltage at reset pin must be less than or equal to 0.4V. To disable reset function, the voltage at reset pin has to be greater than 1V. 6. Time measured from a positive-going input pulse from 0 to 0.4 VCC into the threshold to the drop from high to low of the output. Trigger is tied to threshold.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
One feature of the dual timer is that by utilizing both halves it is possible to obtain sequential timing. By connecting the output of the first half to the input of the second half via a 0.001F coupling capacitor sequential timing may be obtained. Delay t1 is determined by the first half and t2 by the second half delay.
VCC VCC

The first half of the timer is started by momentarily connecting Pin 6 to ground. When it is timed out (determined by 1.1R1C1) the second half begins. Its duration is determined by 1.1R2C2.
