I did some experiments as well and the results are below. But more importantly, as I delved further into it, I found that this chip has a fascinating history. Hans Camenzind designed the NE555 in the ...

In the module, the evergreen tiny timer chip NE555 is used to drive an N-channel power MOSFET D4184. With the help of the onboard 100K potentiometer (with on/off switch), we can control the duty cycle ...

One of [NE555]’s boards from the 90s. Over on twitter [NE555] has been posting beautiful SMD prototypes. Back in the 90s when surface mount components gained widespread adoption, the quick and ...

[Peter Lin] demonstrated this in the video below the break, by creating an ultrasonic levitation system using only the trusted chip of all true experimenters, the NE555. (Video, embedded below.) ...

Choosing between two widely available, multisourced ICs for the core of an inductorless dc-dc converter—the NE555 timer and the LM386 audio amplifier—requires a look at their key ...
