SA555P

Texas Instruments · Timers / Counters · DIP-8

SA555P from Texas Instruments, in a DIP-8. Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GND power_in Ground reference for the device; all voltages in the datasheet are referenced to GND.
2 TRIG input Timing start input; when TRIG is below 1/2 CONT the output is set high and the discharge pin is open.
3 OUT output High-current timer output; recommended output current is ±200 mA.
4 RESET input Active-low reset input that forces the output and discharge pin low; tie to VCC when unused to avoid false triggering.
5 CONT bidirectional Controls the comparator threshold, provides 2/3 × VCC at the pin, and allows a bypass capacitor to be connected.
6 THRES input Timing end input; when THRES > CONT the output and discharge pin are driven low.
7 DISCH output Open-collector output that discharges the timing capacitor, conducting to GND while the output is low.
8 VCC power_in Supply voltage input; the recommended range for SA555 is 4.5 V to 16 V.

CAD (KiCad official)

  • Symbol: SA555P
  • Footprint: Package_DIP:DIP-8_W7.62mm
  • 3D model: DIP-8 (KiCad packages3D, STEP)
  • 3D model files: sa555p-etched.step / sa555p-etched.glb carry the MPN laser-etched on the die in a toggleable Adom.LaserEtch group (Fusion-ready); sa555p.step / sa555p.glb are the bare package body.

Provenance

Data extracted from the manufacturer datasheet, not a distributor listing:

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (40 pp, sha256 7ce3a7a81c99394f, retrieved 2026-10-08, tier: lcsc)
  • Datasheet language: Chinese. Pin names, descriptions, and specs on this page were extracted and translated to English by ds2sf; the linked PDF is the manufacturer original.
  • Extractor: parts-factory 2.0.0 / extract_pins 0.3, primary claude-haiku-5-5 (text), consensus claude-sonnet-5-5 (agreed), guards: pin_guards 0.1: passed. Pins are checked against the footprint pad set and their cited datasheet pages before publish.
