ICM7555IBAZ

The ICM7555IBAZ is a CMOS version of the classic 555 timer IC, offering improved performance with lower power consumption and higher frequency operation. Key features include:
- Low Power: Operates at 200µA (typical), making it ideal for battery-powered applications.
- Wide Voltage Range: Works from 2V to 18V, compatible with TTL and CMOS logic.
- High Accuracy: Improved timing precision compared to the bipolar NE555.
- Minimal External Components: Requires only a resistor and capacitor for stable operation.
Common applications include oscillators, timers, pulse generators, and delay circuits. The ICM7555IBAZ is pin-compatible with the NE555 but offers better noise immunity and reduced supply current spikes.
Available in an 8-pin SOIC package (IBAZ suffix), it’s suitable for space-constrained designs. For detailed specs, refer to the datasheet from Renesas (formerly Intersil).

The ICM7555IBAZ is a CMOS version of the 555 timer IC, packaged in an 8-pin SOIC.
Pin Functions:
1. GND – Ground
2. TRIG – Trigger input (starts timing when < 1/3 Vcc)
3. OUT – Timer output (high/low based on mode)
4. RESET – Active-low reset (halts timing when low)
5. CTRL – Control voltage (modulates threshold)
6. THR – Threshold input (ends timing when > 2/3 Vcc)
7. DIS – Discharge (connects to GND during discharge phase)
8. Vcc – Power supply (3V–18V)
Key Features:
- Low power consumption (CMOS)
- Operates in astable (oscillator) or monostable (one-shot) modes
- Improved performance over bipolar 555 (lower supply current, higher frequency)
Applications: Timing, pulse generation, and oscillation circuits.
