Lab Report - 06 Ajay Meena 17110007: 555 Timer

The 555 timer IC can be used in monostable or astable configurations to generate pulses or square waves. In monostable mode, a single pulse of a specified width is created in response to a trigger. In astable mode, a repeating pulse train of specified frequency and duty cycle is generated without a trigger. The document describes experiments using 555 timer ICs in monostable, astable, and light dimmer circuit configurations, providing the circuit diagrams and values of components used.

555 Timer
The 555 timer was introduced over 40 years ago. Due to its relative simplicity, ease of use and
low cost it has been used in literally thousands of applications and is still widely available. Here
we describe how to configure a standard 555 IC to perform two of its most common functions -
as a timer in monostable mode and as a square wave oscillator in astable mode.

The 555 timer can be used in a variety of forms. The monostable mode will create a single pulse
of a specified width. Astable mode will create a repeating pulse train of specified frequency and
duty cycle.

Part I: Monostable Operation

The button is used to create a negative pulse to trigger the circuit. Once this button is pressed the
555 will start to charge the capacitor and the light should turn on. Once the capacitor reaches a
threshold level (2/3 of Vcc), the 555 discharges the capacitor (through is discharge pin) and the
light turns off.

PART II: Astable Operation

This 555 is set up in an astable mode. The 555 is triggered on its own. To figure out the values
for R​a​, R​b​, and C you can use the chart on the right or the following equations:

The charge time (output high) is given by:

t1 = 0.693 (R​A​ +R​B​ )C

And the discharge time (output low) by:

t2 = 0.693 (R​B​ )C

Thus the total period is:

T =t1 +t2 = 0.693 (R​A​ +2R​B​ )


 

Experiments Question​ -

Q1. Implement a circuit using 555 timer IC having an application e.g. Switching on an output
(glowing of a light) for fixed time duration by providing a trigger input and then switching off
the output automatically without any inputs from the user (Choose three settings).Describe the
circuit, values of its components and its operation in report with brief theory. Attach a
snapshot/video of your output with the report.

Ans -

R1=8K Ohm

C1 = 100nF
1

Que2. Implement a light dimmer circuit using a 555 timer IC with no trigger input. Change
the duration of dimming (three settings). Describe the circuit, values of its components and
its operation in report with brief theory. Attach a snapshot/video of your output with the
report.
The dimmer circuit basically works on the duty cycle .
The intensity start vary at very high frequency.

Que3. Implement an astable 555 configuration to generate an output square waveform within the
following two cases.
a. Adjust one of the external resistances at the input side to 10 times of the other and report the
duty cycle of the output waveform.
b. Generate output square waveform with a 50% duty cycle while keeping the two external
resistances equal. Mention the circuit with component values in your report. Note: You can use
additional components.
R1= R2 = 5.6 KΩ C1=100 nF f= 1.2 KHz

​R1= 1K Ohm, R2= 10K ohm, C1= 100 nF
