A low pulse on this pin (below 1/3 of VCC) sets the internal flip-flop and makes the output go HIGH. When the voltage on this pin reaches 2/3 of VCC, it resets the flip-flop, and the output goes LOW.

Today we are going to create a strobe light for the tips of the wings of an rc airplane using a 555 timer (NE 555 or lm 555 IC) this circuit is very easy to make with few components and most ...

Apple is giving iPhone 17 users the option to disable PWM dimming in iOS 26, a move that could ease eye strain and flicker sensitivity. While limited to the iPhone 17 series for now, this ...

Snapchat is working on its in-house image generator tool. Previously, the social media company has relied on third-party AI generative image tools like Google’s Gemini and OpenAI’s ChatGPT to power ...

The 555 timer is one of the most versatile integrated circuits available. It can generate PWM signals, tones, and single-shot pulses. You can even put one in a bi-stable mode similar to a flip flop.

Graceful Shutdown: Ensuring the motor and controller are shut down safely when the application is stopped. If the application operates on a multicore MCU/DSP/FPGA, an appropriate inter-core ...
