Precision timing
Pulse generation
Sequential timing
Time delay generation
Pulse width modulation
Pulse position modulation
Linear ramp generator
Like the NE555, the TLC555 has a trigger level equal
to approximately one-third of the supply voltage and a
threshold level equal to approximately two-thirds of
the supply voltage. These levels can be altered by
use of the control voltage terminal (CONT). When the
trigger input (TRIG) falls below the trigger level, the
flip-flop is set and the output goes high. If TRIG is
above the trigger level and the threshold input
(THRES) is above the threshold level, the flip-flop is
reset and the output is low. The reset input (RESET)
can override all other inputs and can be used to
initiate a new timing cycle. If RESET is low, the flipflop is reset and the output is low. Whenever the
output is low, a low-impedance path is provided
between the discharge terminal (DISCH) and GND.
All unused inputs must be tied to an appropriate logic
level to prevent false triggering.

3 Description
The TLC555 is a monolithic timing circuit fabricated
using the TI LinCMOS™ process. The timer is fully
compatible with CMOS, TTL, and MOS logic and
operates at frequencies up to 2 MHz. Because of its
high input impedance, this device supports smaller
timing capacitors than those supported by the NE555
or LM555. As a result, more accurate time delays and
oscillations are possible. Power consumption is low
across the full range of power-supply voltage.

The TLC555 is a precision timing device used for general-purpose timing applications up to 2.1 MHz. All inputs
are level sensitive not edge triggered inputs.

Pin numbers are for all packages except the PW and FK package. RESET can override TRIG, which can override
THRES (when CONT pin is 2/3 VDD).
The resistance of “R" resistors vary with VDD and temperature. The resistors match each other very well across VDD
and temperature for a temperature stable control voltage ratio.
7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Monostable Operation
For monostable operation, any of these timers can be connected as shown in Figure 9. If the output is low,
application of a negative-going pulse to the trigger (TRIG) sets the internal latch; the output goes high, and
discharge pin (DISCH) becomes open drain. Capacitor C then is charged through RA until the voltage across the
capacitor reaches the threshold voltage of the threshold (THRES) input. If TRIG has returned to a high level, the
output of the threshold comparator resets the internal latch, the output goes low, the discharge pin goes low
which quickly discharges capacitor C.

Figure 9. Circuit for Monostable Operation
Monostable operation is initiated when TRIG voltage falls below the trigger threshold. Once initiated, the
sequence ends only if TRIG is high for at least 1 µs before the end of the timing interval. When the trigger is
grounded, the comparator storage time can be as long as 1 µs, which limits the minimum monostable pulse width
to 1 µs. The output pulse duration is approximately tw = 1.1 × RAC. Figure 11 is a plot of the time constant for
various values of RA and C. The threshold levels and charge rates both are directly proportional to the supply
voltage, VDD. The timing interval is, therefore, independent of the supply voltage, so long as the supply voltage is
constant during the time interval.
Applying a negative-going trigger pulse simultaneously to RESET and TRIG during the timing interval discharges
capacitor C and reinitiates the cycle, commencing on the positive edge of the reset pulse. The output is held low
as long as the reset pulse is low. To prevent false triggering, when RESET is not used it must be connected to
VDD.

7.3.2 Astable Operation
As shown in Figure 12, adding a second resistor, RB, to the circuit of Figure 9 and connecting the trigger input to
the threshold input causes the timer to self-trigger and run as a multi-vibrator. The capacitor C charges through
RA and RB and then discharges through RB only. Therefore, the duty cycle is controlled by the values of RA and
RB.
This astable connection results in capacitor C charging and discharging between the threshold-voltage level
(≈ 0.67 × VCC) and the trigger-voltage level (≈ 0.33 × VCC). As in the monostable circuit, charge and discharge
times (and, therefore, the frequency and duty cycle) are independent of the supply voltage.

Feature Description (continued)
The formulas (1-7) do not account for any propagation delay times from the TRIG and THRES inputs to DISCH
output. These delay times add directly to the period and overcharge the capacitor which creates differences
between calculated and actual values that increase with frequency. In addition, the internal on-state resistance
ron during discharge adds to RB to provide another source of timing error in the calculation when RB is very low.
The equations below provide better agreement with measured values. The formulas Equation 8 represent the
actual low and high times when used at higher frequencies because propagation delay and discharge on
resistance is added to the formulas. Because the formulas are complex, a calculation tool, TLC555 Design
Calculator can be used to calculate the component values.

8.2.2 Pulse-Width Modulation
The operation of the timer can be modified by modulating the internal threshold and trigger voltages, which is
accomplished by applying an external voltage (or current) to CONT. Figure 20 shows a circuit for pulse-width
modulation. A continuous input pulse train triggers the monostable circuit, and a control signal modulates the
threshold voltage. Figure 21 shows the resulting duty cycle versus control voltage transfer function. Attempting to
run under 10% duty cycle could result in inconsistent output pulses. Attempting to run close to 100% duty cycle
will result in frequency division by 2, then 3, then 4.

Typical Applications (continued)
8.2.2.1 Design Requirements
The clock input must have VOL and VOH levels that are less than and greater than 1/3 VDD, respectively. Clock
input VOL time must be less than minimum output high time, therefore a high (positive) duty cycle clock is
recommended. Minimum recommended modulation voltage is 1 V. Lower CONT voltage can greatly increase
threshold comparator’s propagation delay and storage time. The application must be tolerant of a nonlinear
transfer function; the relationship between modulation input and pulse width is not linear because the capacitor
charge is RC based with an negative exponential curve.
8.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Choose RA and C so that RA × C is same or less than clock input period. Figure 21 shows the non linear
relationship between control voltage and output duty cycle. Duty cycle is function of control voltage and clock
period relative to RC time constant.

8.2.3.1 Design Requirements
Both DC- and AC-coupled modulation input changes the upper and lower voltage thresholds for the timing
capacitor. Both frequency and duty cycle vary with the modulation voltage. Control voltage below 1 V could result
in output glitches instead of a steady output pulse stream
8.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The nominal output frequency and duty cycle for control voltage set to 2/3 of VDD can be determined using
formulas in Astable Operation section.

Typical Applications (continued)
8.2.4 Sequential Timer
Many applications, such as computers, require signals for initializing conditions during start-up. Other
applications, such as test equipment, require activation of test signals in sequence. These timing circuits can be
connected to provide such sequential control. The timers can be used in various combinations of astable or
monostable circuit connections, with or without modulation, for extremely flexible waveform control. Figure 25
shows a sequencer circuit with possible applications in many systems, and Figure 26 shows the output
waveforms.

8.2.4.1 Design Requirements
The sequential timer application chains together multiple monostable timers. The joining components are the
33-kΩ resistors and 0.001-µF capacitors. The output high to low edge passes a 10-µs start pulse to the next
monostable. A diode is needed to prevent over voltage on the trigger input when on the previous output's low to
high edge.
8.2.4.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The timing resistors and capacitors can be chosen using this formula: tw = 1.1 × R × C.

8.2.5 Designing for Improved ESD Performance
The TLC555 internal HBM and CDM protection allows for safe assembly in ESD controlled environments. In
applications that may expose pins of the TLC555 to ESD, additional protection is highly recommended. The test
board schematic below has bypass capacitors, current-limiting resistors, and voltage clamping TVS diodes to
provide additional protection for commonly exposed pins [Reset, Trig, and Output] against ESD.

Typical Applications (continued)
The table below gives the ESD protection levels recorded for different supply voltages and external components
populated. Using only passive components to protect the TLC555 with a single 15-V supply is not recommended
because the higher voltage allows for an unacceptable amount of current to flow through the device.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The TLC555 requires a voltage supply greater than or equal to 2 V, 3 V, or 5 V based the coldest ambient
temperature supported and a supply voltage less than or equal to 15 V. Adequate power supply bypassing is
necessary to protect associated circuitry and provide stable output pulses. Minimum recommended is 0.1-μF
ceramic in parallel with 1-μF electrolytic. Place the bypass capacitors as close as possible to the TLC555 and
minimize the trace length.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Standard PCB rules apply to routing the TLC555. The 0.1-μF ceramic capacitor in parallel with a 1-μF electrolytic
capacitor must be as close as possible to the TLC555. The capacitor used for the time delay must also be placed
as close to the discharge pin. A ground plane on the bottom layer can be used to provide better noise immunity
and signal integrity.
Figure 28 is the basic layout for various applications.
• C1—based on time delay calculations
• C2—0.01-μF bypass capacitor for control voltage pin
• C3—0.1-μF bypass ceramic capacitor
• C4—1-μF electrolytic bypass capacitor
• R1—based on time-delay calculations
