In the classic configuration and most variants of the astable 555 multivibrator circuit, the timing characteristics are based on the charging and discharging of a capacitor. However, it can be argued ...

While the 555 oscillator IC is a very versatile device, it can also be quite tricky and solutions are not always obvious. Such is the case with this edge-triggered 555 monostable circuit. By ...
