555

Nice. What would you like to cover about 555? Here are common possibilities:

• Math stuff with the number 555

  • Factorization: 555 = 3 × 5 × 37
  • Base conversions: 555 decimal = 1000101011 in binary, = 0x22B in hex, = 202120 in base-3
  • Roman numeral: DLV
  • Sum of digits: 5+5+5 = 15

• 555 timer IC basics

  • Used to generate pulses. In astable mode: f ≈ 1.44 / ((RA + 2RB) C)
  • t_high = 0.693 (RA + RB) C, t_low = 0.693 RB C
  • Example: With C = 1 µF, RA = RB = 10 kΩ, f ≈ 1.44 / (30 kΩ × 1 µF) ≈ 48 Hz
