Conclusion
Hence 555 IC timer can produce very accurate and stable time
delays, from microseconds to hours. It can be used with supply voltage
varying from 5 to 18 V. Timer can be used in monostable mode of
operation or astable mode of operation. Its various applications include
waveform generator, missing pulse detector, frequency divider, pulse
width modulator, burglar alarm, FSK generator, ramp generator, pulse
position modulator etc.
