Generic 8-pin 555 timer macro-model for astable, monostable, pulse generation, and timing applications.

Pins

Pins
8 pins
NumberNameDescription

1

GND

Ground / negative supply reference for the timer.

2

TRIG

Trigger input. Pulling this node below roughly one-third of VCC sets the output high.

3

OUT

Timer output stage. Drives high or low according to the latch state.

4

RESET

Active-low reset input. Hold high for normal timer operation.

5

VCC

Positive supply input for the timer.

6

DISCH

Discharge transistor node, typically connected to the timing resistor/capacitor network.

7

THRESH

Threshold input. Rising above roughly two-thirds of VCC resets the output latch.

8

CTRL

Control voltage input for the internal threshold reference. Commonly bypassed to ground with a small capacitor.
