ALD555
HIGH SPEED CMOS TIMER
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALD555 timer is a high performance monolithic timing circuit built with
advanced silicon gate CMOS technology. It offers the benefits of high
input impedance, thereby allowing smaller timing capacitors and longer
timing cycle; high speed, with typical cycle time of 500ns; low power
dissipation for battery operated environment; reduced supply current
spikes, allowing smaller and lower cost decoupling capacitors. It is
capable of producing accurate time delays and oscillations in both
monostable and astable operation. It operates in the one-shot (mono-
stable) mode or 50% duty cycle free running oscillation mode with a single
resistor and one capacitor. The inputs and outputs are fully compatible
with CMOS, NMOS or TTL logic.
There are three matched internal resistors (approximately 200K鈩?each)
that set the threshold and trigger levels at two-thirds and one-third
respectively of V +
.
These levels can be adjusted by using the control
terminal (pin 5). When the trigger input is below the trigger level, the
output is in the high state and sourcing 2mA. When threshold input is
above the threshold level at the same time the trigger input is above the
trigger level, the internal flip-flop is reset, the output goes to the low state
and sinks up to 10mA. The reset input overrides all other inputs and when
it is active (reset voltage less than 1V), the output is in the low state.
