Overview
The TS555IDT, produced by STMicroelectronics, is a low-power single CMOS timer that offers significant advantages over traditional bipolar timers like the NE555. It is characterized by very low power consumption, with a typical supply current of 110 μA at VCC = 5 V, and a high maximum astable frequency of 2.7 MHz. This component is pin-to-pin functionally compatible with the bipolar NE555, making it an excellent alternative for applications requiring lower power and higher frequency capabilities.
The TS555IDT operates over a wide voltage range from +2 V to +16 V and features reduced supply current spikes during output transitions, which allows for the use of smaller decoupling capacitors. Its high input impedance and output compatibility with TTL, CMOS, and logic MOS make it versatile for various electronic designs.
