LMC555IM

The LMC555IM is a CMOS version of the industry-standard 555 timer, manufactured by Texas Instruments. It provides accurate time delays and frequencies with significantly lower power dissipation and supply current spikes compared to its predecessors.

Key electrical specifications include a typical supply current of 0.18mA at 5V, a maximum operating frequency of 3MHz, and a low power dissipation of less than 1mW typical at 5V. The device operates from a minimum supply voltage of 1.5V and is fully compatible with TTL and CMOS logic at a 5V supply.

This timer IC is available in multiple package options, including DSBGA, PDIP, SOIC, and VSSOP. Its pin-for-pin compatibility with the standard 555 series makes it an easy upgrade for existing designs seeking improved performance and lower power consumption. The LMC555 is suitable for a wide range of timing and oscillation applications.

Designed for general-purpose timing applications, the LMC555IM excels in circuits requiring precise time delays or stable frequency generation. Its low power consumption makes it ideal for battery-powered devices and other power-sensitive applications. The device maintains excellent temperature stability and offers reduced supply current spikes during output transitions.
