For lower comparator, one input is trigger pulse and positive input is connected at 1/3 of supply voltage. The negative input of upper comparator is at 2/3 of supply voltage and the other is connected to a capacitor.

the output of the flip-flop is 1 so that the discharging transistor is on and the voltage across a capacitor is zero. To understand it’s working Assume initially the output of the monostable is zero. The output pulse width can be increased or decreased by adjusting the values of R and C. In monostable mode, the output of 555 timer is a pulse which ends when the voltage at the capacitor becomes 2⁄ 3 of the supply voltage. We can make a PWM DC motor speed controller using the 555 Timer using this mode of operation. If we modify this circuit and change the R2 resistor by a variable resistor or a Potentiometer, we can control the frequency and the duty cycles of the square wave. The off-time and ON time give time of one cycle of a square wave. We can calculate the time and frequency of the output. This process of charging and discharging between 2/3 and 1/3 of the input voltage will keep working automatically due to this square wave is produced at output of 555 Timer. Due to this discharge transistor turns off and the capacitor will start to charging again. which doesn’t make a change since both R and S inputs of the flip-flop are 0.īut once the voltage across the capacitor drops to 1/3 of the supplied voltage the output of the trigger comparator becomes 1. While discharging the voltage across the capacitor starts to decline, and the Threshold comparator gives output 0. During this time the output of 555 timers is 0(low). When the flip-flop output becomes 1 it makes discharge Transistor active which then starts discharging the capacitor through R2. When the voltage at the capacitor reaches 2/3of the voltage divider output of the Threshold comparator becomes 1 which makes flip-flop output 1(High). Once the voltage of capacitors reaches 1/3of of the voltage divider The comparator output goes to 0(low). At this time the 555 Timer output is High. This makes Q-bar output 0 and the discharge transistor is closed. The input voltage at the Trigger pin is still lower than 1/3 of the supplied voltage due to this the Trigger comparator will output 1. The output of the flip-flip is also connected to a transistor that connects the “Discharge” pin to the ground. The Q-bar output of the flip-flip goes to the output stage. Also, the flip-flop can be reset by the external pin number 4 called reset. The flip-flop will output 1 when R is 0 and S is 1 and output will be 0 when R is 1 and S is 0. The negative input terminal of the second comparator is connected to the “Trigger” pin and positive input terminal to the 1/3 of the voltage divider.īy using these three pins( Trigger, Threshold, and Control) output of the two comparators is controlled which are then fed to the R and S inputs of the flip-flop next stage flip-flop. The negative input terminal of 1st comparator is connected to the 2/3 reference voltage and external “control” pin, where’s the positive input terminal to the external “Threshold” pin. If the voltage at the negative terminal is higher than the voltage at the positive terminal, the comparator output will be 0(low). If the input voltage at the positive terminal is higher than the input voltage at the negative terminal it will give 1(High) output. It compares two analog input voltages at its positive (non-inverting) and negative (inverting) input terminal. In the next stage, there are two comparators. The voltage divider is consists of three similar 5k resistors which makes two reference voltages at 1/3 and 2/3 of input voltage ranging from 5 to 15V. Its block diagram consists of 2 comparators, one flip-flop, a voltage divider, a discharge transistor, and an output stage. The internal structure of the 555 Timer ICĥ55 Timer is consists of 25 transistors, 2 diodes, and 15 resistors.
