TS3V555
ASTABLE OPERATION
When the circuit is connected as shown in figure 4
(pin 2 and 6 connected) it triggers itself and free
runs as a multivibrator. The external capacitor
charges
through R
cisely set by the ratio of these two resistors.
In the astable mode of operation, C charges and
discharges between 1/3 V
triggered mode, the charge and discharge times
and therefore frequency, are independent of the
supply voltage.
Figure 5 shows actual waveforms generated in this
mode of operation.

The charge time (output HIGH) is given by :
t1 = 0.693 (R
and the discharge time (output LOW) by :
t2 = 0.693 (R
Thus the total period T is given by :
T = t1 + t2 = 0.693 (R
The frequency of oscillation is then :
f
The duty cycle is given by : D
