**************************************************
* Models and supporting definitions follow
**************************************************
* Generic 555 timer wrapper for CircuitSim.
* User-facing pin order follows the standard 8-pin 555 package:
* 1 GND, 2 TRIG, 3 OUT, 4 RESET, 5 CTRL, 6 THRESH, 7 DISCH, 8 VCC
*
* The underlying TS555M macro-model includes two internal adjustment pins.
* The wrapper keeps those pins internal so schematic users see the canonical
* 8-pin timer interface.
