Texas Instruments TLC555ID CMOS Timer, 2.1MHz, SOIC-8

The Texas Instruments TLC555ID is a monolithic timing circuit fabricated using the advanced LinCMOS™ process, offering exceptional performance for your timing and oscillation needs. This versatile timer operates at frequencies up to 2.1MHz and is fully compatible with CMOS, TTL, and MOS logic, ensuring seamless integration into a wide range of electronic projects.

Thanks to its high input impedance, the TLC555ID allows for smaller timing capacitors than the NE555, resulting in more accurate time delays and oscillation frequencies. It consumes minimal power, with a typical dissipation of just 1mW at VDD = 5V, making it an excellent choice for battery-operated and energy-conscious designs.

Key Features

• Low Power Consumption: Typical 1mW at VDD = 5V for energy-efficient operation.
• Astable Operation: Capable of running in astable mode for continuous oscillation.
• Rail-to-Rail Output: CMOS output swings rail to rail, maximising signal integrity.
• High Output Current: Can sink 100mA and source 10mA typical, driving loads effectively.
• Logic Compatibility: Works with CMOS, TTL, and MOS logic for universal use.
• NE555 Interchangeable: Functionally compatible with NE555, sharing the same pinout.
• Green and RoHS Compliant: Environmentally friendly, with no antimony or bromine.

The TLC555ID operates over a supply voltage range of 2V to 15V and features a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to 85°C, ensuring reliable performance in diverse conditions. The device comes in a compact SOIC-8 package with 8 pins, ideal for space-constrained PCB designs.

Important Note: This device is ESD sensitive; proper precautions must be taken during handling to prevent damage.
