The 555 timer in bistable mode is also known as a flip-flop circuit. A flip-flop circuit alternates between two stable states, in this case the output of electrical current from the output pin. Unlike ...

In these days of cheap microcontrollers, it is hard to remember there was a time when timing things took real circuitry. Even today, for some applications it is hard to beat the ubiquitous 555 timer ...

This remote controlled switch circuit can control AC loads such as lights, fans etc through the remote handset of TV. It uses the 555 timer in the bistable mode. In the bistable mode output IC555 ...
