SA555P

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Overview

The SA555P is a single precision timer integrated circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments, belonging to the SA555 series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 16V and supports frequencies up to 100kHz. The device draws 10mA of supply current and functions across an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Housed in an 8-PDIP package with through-hole mounting, it serves as a standalone timing solution for electronic circuits.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'P' corresponds to the PDIP-8 package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to 85°C) meets system requirements, distinguishing it from commercial or military variants. Ensure compatibility with through-hole assembly processes given the package type.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Selection Notes

Select the SA555P for applications requiring through-hole installation and industrial temperature stability. Compare against NE555P for commercial grade (0°C to 70°C) or SE555P for extended military grade (-55°C to 125°C) if environmental conditions differ. Consider SA555DR for surface-mount requirements instead of DIP packaging.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Part Context

The SA555P is part of Texas Instruments' SA555 family of precision timers. This series includes various package options such as DR (SOIC) and P (PDIP). The SA555 designation typically indicates an industrial temperature grade version, distinct from the NE555 (commercial) and SE555 (military) counterparts within the same functional architecture.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Replacement Considerations

NE555P offers identical functionality but with a commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). SE555P provides extended military temperature capability (-55°C to 125°C). SA555DR serves as the surface-mount equivalent using an SOIC-8 package.
