It has two modes of operation 1. Monostable Mode 2. Astable Mode 555 timer in monostable mode A monostable timer has one stable state and one unstable state. Normally it is in its stable state but can be switched to the unstable state by applying a trigger pulse (as shown in the figure). It stays in its unstable state for a period of time before returning to its stable state.

Using the information from the graph and taking the components accordingly, design the above circuit on breadboard. When the push button is pressed and released, the LED will glow up to a time depending on the values of external components. Once triggered, the circuit cannot be re-triggered to extend the HIGH period. This HIGH period of the pulse is given by a simple relationship: THIGH = 1.1*R*C
555 timer in astable mode An astable timer has no stable state (hence its name "astable" meaning "not stable"). Its output switches from one state to the other automatically. The rate at which it switches is determined by the circuit components. It generates a continuous stream of pulses usually in the form of a square wave. It is also known as an oscillator or pulse generator.

Using the information from the graph and taking the components accordingly, design the above circuit on breadboard. After completing the circuit, also observe the waveform on the oscilloscope. You will notice that T HIGH >TLOW. The formulae related to astable mode of 555 are: THIGH = 0.693*(Ra+Rb)*C TLOW = 0.693*Rb*C Time Period = T = THIGH + TLOW Duty Cycle = THIGH/( THIGH + TLOW) Frequency = F = 1/T
