DESCRIPTION
The TS556is a dual CMOS timer which offersvery low consumption (Icc (TYP)TS556=200μA Icc (TYP)NE556=6mA)and high frequency
(f (max.)TS556=2.7MHz -f (max.)NE556=0.1MHz)Thus,either in Monostable or Astable mode,tim-ing remains very accurate.
The TS556provides reduced supply current spikes during output transitions,which enables the use of lower decoupling capacitors compared to those required by bipolar NE556.
Timing capacitors can also be minimized due to high input impedance (1012?).

TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Figure 1:Supply Current (each timer)versus
Supply Voltage
The circuit triggers on a negative-goinginput signal when the level reaches 1/3V CC .Oncetriggered,the circuit remains in this state until the set time has elapsed,even if it is triggered again during this interval.The duration of the output HIGH state is given by t =1.1R x C.
Notice that since the charge rate and the threshold level of the comparator are both directly propor-tional to supply voltage,the timing interval is inde-pendent of supply.Applying a negative pulse simultaneously to the Reset terminal (pin 4or 10)and the Trigger terminal (pin 2or 8)during the timing cycle discharges the external capacitor and causes the cycle to start over.The timing cycle now starts on the positive edge of the reset pulse.During the time the reset pulse is applied,the output is driven to its LOW state.
When a negative trigger pulse is applied to the trigger terminal,the flip-flop is set,releasing the short circuit across the external capacitor and driv-ing the output HIGH.The voltage across the ca-pacitor increases exponentially with the time constant τ=R x C.
When the voltage across the capacitor equals 2/3V CC ,the comparator resets the flip-flop which then discharges the capacitor rapidly and drives the output to its LOW state.
Figure 3shows the actual waveforms generatedin this mode of operation.
When Reset is not used,it should be tied high to avoid any possible or false triggering.CAPACITOR VOLTAGE =2.0V/div ?
?μt =0.1ms /div INPUT =2.0V/div
OUTPUT VOLTAGE =5.0V/div

ASTABLE OPERATION
When the circuit is connected as shown in figure 4it triggers itself and free runs as a multivibrator.The external capacitor charges through R A and R B and discharges through R B only.Thus the duty cycle may be precisely set by the ratio of these two resistors.
In the astable mode of operation,C charges and discharges between 1/3V CC and 2/3V CC .As in the triggered mode,the charge and discharge times and therefore frequency,are independent of the supply voltage.
Figure 5shows actual waveforms generated in this mode of operation.
The charge time (output HIGH)is given by :t1=0.693(R A +R B )C
and the discharge time (output LOW)by :t2=0.693(R B )C
Thus the total period T is given by :T =t1+t2=0.693(R A +2R B )C The frequency of oscillation is then :f =1T =
1.44(R A +2R B )C The duty cycle is given by :D =R B
