LM556 Dual Timer General Description Features The LM556 Dual timing circuit is a highly stable controller capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillation. The 556 is a dual 555. Timing is provided by an external resistor and capacitor for each timing function. The two timers operate independently of each other sharing only VCC and ground. The circuits may be triggered and reset on falling waveforms. The output structures may sink or source 200mA. n n n n n n n n n Direct replacement for SE556/NE556 Timing from microseconds through hours Operates in both astable and monostable modes Replaces two 555 timers Adjustable duty cycle Output can source or sink 200mA Output and supply TTL compatible Temperature stability better than 0.005% per C Normally on and normally off output Applications n n n n n n n Precision timing Pulse generation Sequential timing Time delay generation Pulse width modulation Pulse position modulation Linear ramp generator Connection Diagram Dual-In-Line, Small Outline Packages DS007852-1 Top View Ordering Information Package 14-Pin SOIC 14-Pin MDIP Part Number Package Marking Media Transport LM556CM LM556CM Rails LM556CMX LM556CM 2.5k Units Tape and Reel LM556CN LM556CN Rails (c) 2000 National Semiconductor Corporation DS007852 NSC Drawing M14A N14a www.national.com LM556 Dual Timer March 2000 DS007852-2 LM556 Schematic Diagram www.national.com 2 Storage Temperature Range -65C to +150C Soldering Information Dual-In-Line Package Soldering (10 Seconds) 260C Small Outline Packages Vapor Phase (60 Seconds) 215C Infrared (15 Seconds) 220C See AN-450 "Surface Mounting Methods and Their Effect on Product Reliability" for other methods of soldering surface mount devices.

Note 2: For operating at elevated temperatures the device must be derated based on a +150C maximum junction temperature and a thermal resistance of 77C/W (Plastic Dip), and 110C/W (SO-14 Narrow). Note 3: Supply current when output high typically 1mA less at VCC = 5V. Note 4: Tested at VCC = 5V and VCC = 15V. Note 5: As reset voltage lowers, timing is inhibited and then the output goes low. Note 6: This will determine the maximum value of RA + RB for 15V operation. The maximum total (RA + RB) is 20 M. Note 7: No protection against excessive pin 1, 13 current is necessary providing the package dissipation rating will not be exceeded. Note 8: Matching characteristics refer to the difference between performance characteristics of each timer section. Note 9: Refer to RETS556X drawing of military LM556J versions.
