Typical Applications
Reset Timer (Monostable Operation)
Figure 1 shows the CA555 connected as a reset timer. In this mode of operation capacitor CT is initially held discharged by a transistor on the integrated circuit. Upon closing the “start” switch, or applying a negative trigger pulse to terminal 2, the integral timer flip-flop is “set” and releases the short circuit across CT which drives the output voltage “high” (relay energized). The action allows the voltage across the capacitor to increase exponentially with the constant t = R1CT. When the voltage across the capacitor equals 2/3 V+, the comparator resets the flip-flop which in turn discharges the capacitor rapidly and drives the output to its low state. Since the charge rate and threshold level of the comparator are both directly proportional to V+, the timing interval is relatively independent of supply voltage variations. Typically, the timing varies only 0.05% for a 1V change in V+. Applying a negative pulse simultaneously to the reset terminal (4) and the trigger terminal (2) during the timing cycle discharges CT and causes the timing cycle to restart. Momentarily closing only the reset switch during the timing interval discharges CT, but the timing cycle does not restart.
