The TLC555 is a monolithic timing circuit fabricated using the TI LinCMOS process. The timer is fully compatible
with CMOS, TTL, and MOS logic and operates at frequencies up to 2 MHz. Because of its high input impedance,
this device uses smaller timing capacitors than those used by the NE555. As a result, more accurate time delays
and oscillations are possible. Power consumption is low across the full range of power supply voltage.
Like the NE555, the TLC555 has a trigger level equal to approximately one-third of the supply voltage and a …
