Functional Description
The CCC IOC-555-D is a highly stable integrated circuit designed for generating accurate time delays or oscillation. It consists of two voltage comparators, an RS flip-flop, a discharge transistor, and a resistor divider network.
The threshold and trigger levels are normally two-thirds and one-third of VCC, respectively. These levels can be altered by using the control-voltage terminal (pin 5). When the trigger input (pin 2) falls below the trigger level, the flip-flop is set, and the output (pin 3) goes high. If the trigger input is above the trigger level and the threshold input (pin 6) is above the threshold level, the flip-flop is reset and the output is low.
Operating Modes
1. Astable Mode (Free-Running Oscillator)
In this mode, the device operates as a free-running oscillator without external triggering. The frequency and duty cycle are determined by two external resistors (R1, R2) and one capacitor (C1):
- High time: tH = 0.693 × C1 × (R1 + R2)
- Low time: tL = 0.693 × C1 × R2
- Frequency: f = 1 / (tH + tL) = 1.44 / (C1 × (R1 + 2R2))
- Duty cycle: % = (R1 + R2) / (R1 + 2R2) × 100
2. Monostable Mode (One-Shot)
In this mode, the device produces a single fixed-duration output pulse in response to an external trigger. The pulse width is determined by one external resistor (R) and one capacitor (C):
- Pulse width: t = 1.1 × R × C
- Trigger voltage: < 1/3 VCC
- Trigger pulse width: > 0.1µs
3. Bistable Mode (Flip-Flop)
In this mode, the device functions as a basic flip-flop or Schmitt trigger without external timing components:
- Set (output high): Trigger pin (2) < 1/3 VCC
- Reset (output low): Reset pin (4) < 0.8V
- Hysteresis: 1/3 VCC (between 1/3 and 2/3 VCC)
Typical Applications

- LED flashers and beeper circuits
- Pulse width modulation (PWM)
- Frequency division and counting
