Single and dual purpose RC timers create accurate time delays

The Maxim ICM7555 and ICM7556 are respectively single and dual general purpose RC timers capable of generating accurate time delays or frequencies. The primary feature is an extremely low supply current, making this device ideal for battery-powered systems. Additional features include low threshold, trigger and reset currents, a wide operating supply voltage range and improved performance at high frequencies.

These CMOS low-power devices offer significant performance advantages over the standard 555 and 556 bipolar timers. Low-power consumption, combined with the virtually non-existent current spike during output transitions, make these timers the optimal solution in many applications.

Applications include:
Pulse Generator
Precision Timing
Time Delay Generation
Pulse Width Modulation
Pulse Position Modulations
Sequential Timing
Missing Pulse Detector
