NE/SA556
DESCRIPTION
Both the NE556 and SA556 Dual Monolithic timing circuits are highly
stable controllers capable of producing accurate time delays or
oscillation. The 556 is a dual 555. Timing is provided by an external
resistor and capacitor for each timing function. The two timers
operate independently of each other, sharing only V
CC
and ground.
The circuits may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms. The
output structures may sink or source 200 mA.

NOTES:
1. Supply current when output is high is typically 1.0 mA less.
2. Tested at V
CC
= 5 V and V
CC
= 15 V.
3. This will determine maximum value of R

. For 15 V operation, the max total R = 10 MΩ, and for 5 V operation, the maximum total
R = 3.4 MΩ.
4. Matching characteristics refer to the difference between performance characteristics for each timer section in the monostable mode.
5. Specified with trigger input high. In order to guarantee reset the voltage at reset pin must be less than or equal to 0.4 V. To disable reset
function, the voltage at reset pin has to be greater than 1 V.
6. Time measured from a positive-going input pulse from 0 to 0.4 V

into the threshold to the drop from high to low of the output. Trigger is
tied to threshold.
