The 555 Design Contest shook a whole bunch of really creative circuits out of the trees ... the three main logic blocks inside the familiar timer on pieces of copper-clad board.
LTSpiceIV, available from Linear Technology, allows you to construct moderately complex 555 driven circuits including common components such as capacitors, resistors, diodes, FETs, and more.
Our Circuit Design Calculators for Engineers and Students are free-to-use tools that help you quickly determine key parameters ...
