Circuit Wizard - Circuit Sheet 555 IO 3-11

The document describes a 555 monostable circuit. 1) The monostable circuit uses a 555 timer chip configured such that it will produce a single pulse at the output whenever a trigger event occurs at the input. 2) The width of the output pulse is determined by the resistor R1 and capacitor C1 according to the formula T = 1.1 x C1 x R1. 3) The document also describes how to configure the 555 chip in an astable mode to produce a continuous train of pulses, with the pulse width determined by R1, R2 and C1.

Note: Switches can be replaced with Normally Closed Switches or sensor devices inluding photoresistors,
phototransistors, thermistors, microphones, touch sensors, or strain guages. The resistor in each circuit pulls
the output voltage up or down, and may need to have the value changed depending on the sensor signal
characteristics.
