NE555 Timer IC:
![]() |
---|
It generates timing and pulses throughout the circuit.
Resistor 10 kΩ:
![]() |
---|
It determines the duration of the output pulse.
Capacitor 100μF:
![]() |
---|
It sets the timing interval in conjunction with the resistor.
Trigger Input: This acts as the trigger pin of the IC, which is given as input for a pulse signal.
Step 1: Connecting the NE555 IC |
---|
First, I drew the pinouts of the NE555 timer IC. Then I connected the power supply through pin 8 (VCC) and pin 1 (Ground) of the IC, and then from pin 5 I connected to ground with a capacitor of 0.01 µF for the proper functioning of the circuit.
Step 2: Connecting Pin 7 and 6 |

Then I connected Pin 7 and Pin 6 to each other. Then I connected a 10 kΩ resistor and a 100 μF capacitor, which helps in determining the duration of the output pulse. Hey, what am I saying here? The higher the value of the resistor and capacitor in this circuit, the longer the output duration of the circuit will be.
Step 3: Input and Output Voltage |

Finally, I have taken the trigger from the input voltage at pin 2, which triggers the timer to generate the output pulse. The output voltage is the pulse that comes out as the output from pin 3. The correct connection of the input and output signals ensures the functionality of the circuit.

Thus, with the help of NE555 timer IC, we can generate a correct timing signal and pulse. Each component of the circuit, such as resistance, capacitor, and pin connections, work together to ensure the functionality of the circuit.
Then I took a selfie with myself as per the community guidelines along with my hand-drawn diagram and wrote the name of the community and my username.
