NA555P

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Overview

The NA555P is a precision timer integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the NA555 series. It functions as a single-channel 555-type timer/oscillator capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 16V and draws a typical supply current of 10 mA. It features an industrial temperature rating from -40°C to +105°C. The component is housed in an 8-PDIP package with a standard pin count of 8, designed for through-hole mounting.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer datasheet version when sourcing, as design changes may occur. Confirm the package type is PDIP-8 and the temperature grade is industrial (-40°C to +105°C). Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for through-hole assembly. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by project specifications.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Selection Notes

Select the NA555P over commercial variants (NE555) when operation in extreme temperatures below 0°C or above 70°C is required. The NA555 offers improved stability across the industrial temperature range compared to standard versions. Consider the NA555DR variant if surface-mount technology (SOIC-8) is preferred for automated assembly processes.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Part Context

The NA555 is part of Texas Instruments' broader 555 timer family, which includes the NE555 (commercial), SE555 (military), and SA555 (extended military) variants. The 'N' prefix typically denotes the National Semiconductor heritage now under Texas Instruments, indicating industrial-grade performance specifications.
