    This year 555 Timer is celebrating its 50th birthday, my congratulations. Half a century in electronics is all eternity.
    Explaining how it works great done. 👍(ツ)❤️

    Finally someone explain that the capacitor is the key for changing the output state in the astable mode, other videos just throw formulas at your face and just skip the key of the thing with some "you just suppose to know that" vibes, what a shame.
    Appreciate it!

      I agree with Kevin. I already knew most of this, but it is an excellent video. The 555 timer is a "killer app" example of an integrated circuit. It's simple, elegant, and versatile!
      The criticisms of his English are unfounded. His English is very good. His accent is still very strong, but I had no trouble understanding him. Accents only go away with time and exposure to native speakers, which not everyone has access to.

      6:48 If anybody who reads this is curious how to derive that t=1.1*C*R result, its simple.
      capacitor
      --------| |--------
      | |
      | \
      | / resistor
      | \
      | /
      | |
      | __ Vcc __|
      constant Dc
      dq = i dt
      i = dq/dt
      Using Kirchoff's law,
      q/C + R i - Vcc = 0
      R (dq/dt) = (Vcc . C - q) /C
      dq/ (Vcc - q) = dt/ CR
      Apply integration on both sides with limits LHS.. from 0 to q, and RHS..from 0 to t.
      then you will get,
      - Ln ((Vcc .C - q) / Vcc .C) = t/CR
      From this we can easily get this result, i.e
      q= Vcc. C (1- e^(-t/CR))
      since q=CV,
      V = Vcc(1- e^(-t/CR))
      Now apply V= 2/3 Vcc in this formula,
      you will end up with t= ln(3). C. R
      [ln(3) = 1.0986 = 1.1(approx)]
      Happy learning!
