IC 555 Astable Calculator
This IC 555 software calculates the values of the resistors and capacitors for a NE555 timer chip, which is designed as a astable multivibrator (oscillator), or square wave generator. You simply have to type in the duty cycle and the frequency and the calculator will work out realistic values for the resistors and capacitors. Alternatively, […]
