555

Not sure what you want with “555.” Could you tell me the topic or the exam you’re studying? Here are the most common possibilities:

• As a number (math/number theory)

  • 555 = 3 × 5 × 37
  • Divisors: 1, 3, 5, 15, 37, 111, 185, 555
  • Sum of proper divisors = 357, so 555 is a deficient number
  • Euler’s totient φ(555) = 288
  • In Roman numerals: DLV
  • Binary: 1000101011

• The 555 timer IC (electronics)

  • Modes: astable (oscillator), monostable (one-shot), bistable
  • Key formulas:
    • Astable frequency: f ≈ 1.44 / ((R1 + 2R2) C)
    • Duty cycle: D = (R1 + R2) / (R1 + 2R2)
    • Monostable pulse width: t ≈ 1.1 × R × C
  • Typical connections/pinout (8-pin DIP): Pin1 GND, Pin2 Trigger, Pin3 Output, Pin4 Reset, Pin5 Control Voltage, Pin6 Threshold, Pin7 Discharge, Pin8 Vcc

• Other possibilities

  • Year 555 CE, or fictitious phone exchange (555-style), etc.
