DESCRIPTION
The TS3V556 with its low consumption (90µA/tim
at V
CC
= 3V) is a dual CMOS timer dedicated to
3.3V or battery supply(specified at 3V and 5V offer-
ing also a high frequency (f
(max)
2MHz at V
CC
= 3V
and 2.7 MHz at V
CC
= 5V). Thus, either in mono-
stable or astable mode, timing remains very accu-
rate.
Timing capacitors can also be minimized due to
high input impedance (10
12
Ω).

TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The circuit triggers on a negative-going input signal
when the level reaches 1/3 V
CC
. Once triggered,the
circuit remains in this state until the set time has
elapsed,even if it is triggered again during this in-
terval. The duration of the output HIGH state is
given by t = 1.1 R 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 4 or 10)
and the Trigger terminal (pin 2 or 8) during the tim-
ing 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. Dur-
ing the time the reset pulse is applied, the output is
driven to its LOW state.
When a negative trigger pulse is applied to the trig-
ger terminal, the flip-flop is set, releasing the short
circuit across the external capacitor and driving the
output HIGH. The voltage across the capacitor in-
creases exponentiallywith the time constant
τ
= R x
C.
When the voltage across the capacitor equals 2/3
V
CC
, the comparator resets the flip-flop which then
discharges the capacitor rapidly and drives the out-
put to its LOW state.
Figure 3 shows the actual waveforms generated in
this mode of operation.
When Reset is not used, it should be tied high to
avoid any possible or false triggering.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
MONOSTABLE OPERATION
In the monostable mode,the timer functions as a
one-shot. Referring to figure 2 the external capaci-
tor is initially held discharged by a transistor inside
the timer.
