NE556

GR · Timers / Clock Oscillators · SOP-14

NE556 from GR, in a SOP-14. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 DISCHARGE1 output Timer 1 discharge pin. Open-collector NPN transistor to GND; used to discharge the external timing capacitor when the internal flip-flop is set. VCE(sat) ~0.15 V @ 15 mA, leakage ~10 nA.
2 THRESHOLD1 input Timer 1 threshold input. When VTHRES rises above 2/3 VCC the internal comparator resets the flip-flop and drives OUT low. Input current ~250 nA typ.
3 CONTROL1 input Timer 1 control voltage. Direct access to the 2/3 VCC comparator reference; typically bypassed to GND with 10 nF. VCONT ~10 V typ at VCC=15 V; ~3.3 V typ at VCC=5 V.
4 RESET1 input Timer 1 active-low reset. When pulled below ~0.7 V the timer output is forced low and the discharge transistor turns on, regardless of TRIG/THRES. Tie to VCC when reset is not used.
5 OUTPUT1 output Timer 1 push-pull output. Sources or sinks up to 200 mA. VOH ~12.0 V at IOH=-200 mA (VCC=15 V); VOL ~2.7 V at IOL=200 mA. Rise/fall ~100 ns with CL=15 pF.
6 TRIGGER1 input Timer 1 active-low trigger input. When VTRIG falls below 1/3 VCC the flip-flop is set, driving OUT high and turning off the discharge transistor. Input current ~500 nA typ.
7 GND power_in Device ground, shared by both timers. 0 V reference.
8 TRIGGER2 input Timer 2 active-low trigger input. When VTRIG falls below 1/3 VCC the flip-flop is set, driving OUT high and turning off the discharge transistor. Input current ~500 nA typ.
9 OUTPUT2 output Timer 2 push-pull output. Sources or sinks up to 200 mA. VOH ~12.0 V at IOH=-200 mA (VCC=15 V); VOL ~2.7 V at IOL=200 mA.
10 RESET2 input Timer 2 active-low reset. When pulled below ~0.7 V the timer output is forced low and the discharge transistor turns on. Tie to VCC when reset is not used.
11 CONTROL2 input Timer 2 control voltage. Direct access to the 2/3 VCC comparator reference; typically bypassed to GND with 10 nF.
12 THRESHOLD2 input Timer 2 threshold input. When VTHRES rises above 2/3 VCC the internal comparator resets the flip-flop and drives OUT low.
13 DISCHARGE2 output Timer 2 discharge pin. Open-collector NPN transistor to GND; used to discharge the external timing capacitor.
14 VCC power_in Positive supply, shared by both timers. Operating range 4.5 V to 16 V; absolute maximum 18 V. ICC ~11 mA typ at VCC=15 V (output high).
