A Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) using 555 timer is an oscillator whose output frequency is directly dependent on the input control voltage. VCOs are widely used in communication systems, tone generators, frequency modulation (FM), and various signal processing applications. One of the simplest and most economical ways to build a VCO is by using the […]
This low cost and non-partial Digital dice roller ensure a fair play and equal chance to all participants. Small enough to be carried around in a pocket, it would prove to be an ideal companion in indoor and outdoor games like ludo, Snake & Ladder, etc. Since times immemorial the six-faced cube, ever since the […]
Pulse Width Modulation PWM controller. PWM is a technique in which the amount of current going in a circuit can be controlled by chopping the Direct current using a gate or transistor that is changing its duty cycle (on-off time) you should see this article flashing of LED using 555 IC. This article is about […]
How does the 555 Timer work? NE555 is one of the most popular and widely used ICs of all time. In this blog, we will discuss the working of the 555 timer IC. Overview The 555 Timer was designed by Hans Camenzind in 1971. It can be found in vast variety of electronic devices. 555 […]
In this blog you will see how to make Flashing LED with 555 timer. 555 IC can work in three modes Astable, Monostable, and Bistable, out of which we will be using Astable mode of working. Watch this video to understand better Overview: In astable mode 555 timer continuously oscillates between 0 and 1 ( […]
