LMC555CMMX

Texas Instruments · Timers / Clock Oscillators · VSSOP-8-0.65mm

LMC555CMMX from Texas Instruments, in a VSSOP-8-0.65mm. 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 GND power_in Ground reference (0 V) for the device. Connect to the negative supply rail.
2 TRIG input Trigger input. A negative pulse below 1/3 V+ on this pin sets the internal flip-flop, driving OUT high and starting the timing cycle.
3 OUT output Push-pull timer output. Swings between GND and V+ and can source or sink load current (typ. up to ~50 mA at V+ = 15 V).
4 RESET input Active-low reset. Pulling below ~0.7 V forces OUT low and discharges the timing capacitor regardless of TRIG. Tie to V+ when unused.
5 CONT input Control voltage. Provides access to the internal 2/3 V+ threshold reference; can be driven externally to modulate timing or pulse width. Typically bypassed to GND via a 10 nF capacitor when unused.
6 THRES input Threshold input. When the voltage on this pin exceeds 2/3 V+, the internal flip-flop is reset, driving OUT low and turning on the discharge transistor.
7 DISCH output Discharge. Open-drain output from an internal N-channel MOSFET; used to discharge the external timing capacitor when OUT is low.
8 V+ power_in Positive supply voltage, 1.5 V to 15 V. Bypass to GND with a 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed close to the pin.

3D model downloads

Two STEP files. Same geometry, different body top:

File Size Use it when
lmc555cmmx.step 122 KB You want the bare part, or you mark your own boards.
lmc555cmmx-etched.step 1.9 MB You want the part with LMC555CMMX already on it.

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 479 faces against 147 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.

Provenance

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

  • Datasheet: Texas Instruments datasheet (32 pp, sha256 23c01b550f0a28cb, retrieved 2026-08-17, tier: manufacturer)
  • Extractor: ds2sf (Claude). Every pin and dimension is cited to a datasheet page; it refuses to fabricate.
