STMicroelectronics NE555/SA555/SE555 General-purpose Single Bipolar Timers Datasheet
This document provides technical specifications for the NE555, SA555, and SE555 monolithic timing circuits. These devices are highly stable controllers capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation in both astable and monostable modes.
The datasheet details absolute maximum ratings, operating conditions, and electrical characteristics such as supply current, timing error, and voltage levels for different temperatures. It also includes application information on monostable operation with typical schematics and waveform descriptions.
