    Fun fact: The Volkswagen Rabbit was using a 555 as a missing pulse detector to control the fuel pump.

    The mono-stable mode of operation is very useful to generate single pulses to feed other circuits a manual 'clock' pulse devoid of switch bounce 'interference'. I use this quite often with a pulse duration of about 300-500 mSec. Shorter durations can be tried, if you're quick at button pressing!. Thanks for all the videos.

    FYI there are a few caveats to 555, particularly in monostable mode.
    The 555 operates by turning off when reaching 2/3 VCC and turn on when drained to 1/3 VCC. So in regular operation the capacitor will be between 1/3 and 2/3 VCC and that's what the timing formulas are based on
    But at power on, the capacitor is likely at 0v so turn on time will be longer than expected.
    Also the 555 by itself does not provide reseting trigger.
    Take a 2s monostable application. The 2s will time out only based on the first time it is triggered.
    So if you pressed the trigger again 1 second later from the first, it will still turn off 1 second after the second press.
    Often one wants a delay determin3d after the last press, but a 555 by itself can't do that.
    You can add a circuit to drain the capacitor from the trigger, thus resetting the countdown but then you might be starting at 0v rather than the normal 1/3vcc standby voltage

    Hello good Sir. I really enjoyed your videos and I hope that you won't stop creating enjoyable and informative videos.
    Since DIY Solar energy system is now a thing, many are trying to make reliable solar charge controllers that are easy to troubleshoot and inexpensive. If you have any idea how to make one using the 555IC, then I would be so thankful to you Sir.

    • @elewizard
      @elewizard  2 місяці тому +1

      Thank you so much.
      Nothing is so special about that circuit, h-bridge is much better in most cases. Here I used that for simplicity. 👍

    If you look at the internal schematic diagramme of the 555 timer, you will see 3 x 5k resistors in series, hence the name 555!
