TLC555IP-P2

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Overview

The TLC555IP is a CMOS monolithic timing circuit manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 2V to 15V and supports frequencies up to 2.1MHz. The device features very low power consumption, typically 1mW at VDD = 5V, with a supply current of approximately 350µA. It provides high output current capability, sinking 100mA and sourcing 10mA. The timer is functionally interchangeable with the NE555, sharing the same pinout and operating thresholds (trigger at ~1/3 VDD, threshold at ~2/3 VDD).
