Timers for Timing Delays and Oscillator
Applications in Commercial, Industrial
and Military Equipment
[ /Title
The CA555 and CA555C are highly stable timers for use in

monolithic integrated circuits are capable of producing
CA555
accurate time delays for periods ranging from microseconds
through hours. These devices are also useful for astable

controlled free running frequency and duty cycle with only
