[FightCube] wrote in recommending a very helpful piece of circuit simulation software for those of you still constructing entries for the 555 design contest. LTSpiceIV, available from Linear ...

The circuit was designed to produce a timing scheme that will provide a longer span of time to become activated. LM555 – a highly stable device for generating accurate oscillation or time delays with ...

This circuit enables the on/off times of a 555 timer to be independently varied over a wide range. This is not possible with a conventional 555 circuit with the RC network being charged from the ...
