Quad timer NE558

DESCRIPTION PIN CONFIGURATION

The 558 Quad Timers are monolithic timing devices which can be
used to produce four independent timing functions. The 558 output D1, N Packages
sinks current. These highly stable, general purpose controllers can
be used in a monostable mode to produce accurate time delays;
from microseconds to hours. In the time delay mode of operation, OUTPUT A OUTPUT OUTPUT OUTPUT D

the time is precisely controlled by one external resistor and one STAGE STAGE
capacitor. A stable operation can be achieved by using two of the ff ff

NOTES:
1. The trigger functions only on the falling edge of the trigger pulse only after previously being high. After reset, the trigger must be brought high
and then low to implement triggering.
2. For reset below 0.8V, outputs set low and trigger inhibited. For reset above 2.4V, trigger enabled.
3. The 558 output structure is open-collector which requires a pull-up resistor to VCC to sink current. The output is normally low sinking current.
