CA0555CE

Overview

The CA0555CE is a single timer and oscillator integrated circuit manufactured by Harris Corporation. It belongs to the 555 type series, designed for timing delays and oscillator applications in commercial, industrial, and military environments. The device is housed in an 8-pin PDIP package with a standard pinout configuration typical of 555 timers. It operates within a specified temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The component functions as a versatile timing element capable of generating precise time intervals or continuous oscillation signals.

Feature Summary

• Provides reliable timing delay generation for sequential control circuits
• Supports astable oscillator operation for clock signal generation
• Designed for use in commercial, industrial, and military applications

Applications

• Timing delays in electronic circuits
• Oscillator applications for frequency generation
• Military grade timing systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer part number CA0555CE against official Harris Corporation documentation to ensure authenticity. Confirm the package type is 8-PDIP and the operational temperature range meets the 0°C to 70°C requirement. Check for electrostatic discharge sensitivity warnings during handling. Ensure the source provides the original datasheet rather than third-party summaries.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single 555-type timer is required for timing or oscillation tasks in harsh environments. Consider the 8-PDIP package constraints for PCB layout. Verify that the 0°C to 70°C operating range suffices for the specific application conditions. Compare against other 555 variants if extended temperature ranges are needed.

Part Context

The CA0555CE is part of the CA555 series produced by Harris Semiconductor. This series includes various packages and temperature grades. The CE suffix typically denotes a specific package and temperature rating combination within the Harris product line. It is a legacy component from Harris Corporation, now often associated with L3Harris Technologies.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other 555 timers from different manufacturers such as LM555 or NE555, provided they meet the same electrical specifications and package requirements. Verify pin compatibility and temperature ratings before substitution.
