555 timer IC 第五页 The 555 has three operating modes: Monostable?mode: in this mode, the 555 functions as a one-shot pulse generator. Applications include timers, missing pulse detection, bouncefree switches, touch switches, frequency divider, capacitance measurement,?pulse-width modulation?(PWM) and so on. Astable: free running mode: the 555 can operate as an?oscillator. Uses include?LED?and lamp flashers, pulse generation, logic clocks, tone generation, security alarms,?pulse position modulation?and so on. Selecting a?thermistor?as timing resistor allows the use of the 555 in a temperature sensor: the period of the output pulse is determined by the temperature. The use of a microprocessor based circuit can then convert the pulse period to temperature, linearize it and even provide calibration means. Bistable?mode or?Schmitt trigger: the 555 can operate as a?flip-flop, if the DIS pin is not connected and no capacitor is used. Uses include bounce-free latched switches. [edit]Usage [edit]Monostable Schematic of a 555 in monostable mode The relationships of the trigger signal, the voltage on C and the pulse width in monostable mode In the monostable mode, the 555 timer acts as a one-shot pulse generator. The pulse begins when the 555 timer receives a signal at the trigger input that falls below a third of the voltage supply. The width of the output pulse is determined by the time constant of an RC network, which consists of a?capacitor?(C) and a resistor?(R). The output pulse ends when the voltage on the capacitor equals 2/3 of the supply voltage. The output pulse width can be lengthened or shortened to the need of the specific application by adjusting the values of R and C.[5] The output pulse width of time?t, which is the time it takes to charge C to 2/3 of the supply voltage, is given by where t is in seconds, R is in?ohms?and C is in?farads. While using the timer IC in monostable mode, the main disadvantage is that the time span between the two triggering pulses mus
