555 comments i dont want to ruin it
This year 555 Timer is celebrating its 50th birthday, my congratulations. Half a century in electronics is all eternity. Explaining how it works great done. 👍(ツ)❤️
This actually made me feel like I understand electronics and will allow me to understand what pins what and what the 555 does and how it does it for my A level studies, thanks a lot!
This is the best description of a 555 timer I've found so far. I'm learning this stuff and your video was really helpful. Thanks!
That was one of the best 555 tutorials I've seen in ages, and the graphics both on the chip and at the right side made all the difference to helping understand it... Thank you so much!
The best explanation about the 555 I have seen so far, and with the graphic animation that is simply wonderful, my sincere congratulations. Shared
this has to be the best explanation of 555 timer ever, the internet needs more vids like this. I need to find the DC motor control tutorial referenced towards the end of this video
I had to slow the playback to 0.75 and it gave me a greater amount of time to absorb this information. I'm a noob. But this stuff is fascinating, I can't think of any other word for it. Sir you are an excellent teacher. Thank you.
Excellent explanation of 555 IC. Nothing was left out and the graphics were superb!
The best explanation of 555 timer...
yea when you already know what he is talking about , then again you don't need much explanation don't you ? That guy is an idiot, he described the chip for 10 minutes without even saying what it is about and or what he is talking about. PURE RUBISH
@@michgingras Where's your amazing content?
@@michgingras something tells me you cut yourself.
@@THE16THPHANTOM I didn't know how it works and now I do. You being slow to understand doesn't mean the guy did a bad video, it just means you're slow.
@@furrane OK, boomer.
That is the best explanation of the 555 that I have seen yet.
The explanation and graphics are excellent! Thank you for taking the time to create this tutorial on the 555
Absolutely beautiful explanation of a 555, the best I have seen so far. I'm very glad I came across your channel! I also made a flip-flop with NPN transistors in a NAND configuration, that was fun :)
Thank you!
Every" band " needs a drummer. ( 555) And this is good way to" educate " folks tks for the Good show.
HOLY CRAP. The 555 timer is still around ! Amazing. I was using it about 44 years ago.
Graphics make it explain better. Thank you for such a useful video!
verry much yess
@Rishikesh upload more electronics videos 📹👀
@@cryptocsguy9282 sure!
The best explanation of 555 timer i have seen yet....well done !
Thank you for this simple explanation
The best tutorial on the 555 timer on all of KZhead!
I've used them for years and never really took a look that far into the internals. Nice work.
Your explanations are really top notch, thanks for making these videos!
I don't think there is a better explanation than this.Thank you very much for your effort.🤟
Excellently explained!!! The best! Great dynamic diagrams too. Thank you much.
I am going to review this video several times. I would also like to see him do the LM386 Chip.
Although I was already familiar with the 555 timer IC, I liked your presentation. Clear and concise. Also, congratulations on your English. I wish that I could speak a second language as well as you do.
Kevin Byrne - congrats are - extremely - premature. Really, pal, why would you say this? He is very difficult to understand now and of you tell him he is “great” talking english, he might STOP trying to improve. In this way you actually HURT his progress. This guy has very good content and the right ideas about teaching, but still need to improve English A LOT.
@@ShelliLoop wow you're stupid af.
S H i agree, the English is shoddy and needs work.
I agree with Kevin. I already knew most of this, but it is an excellent video. The 555 timer is a "killer app" example of an integrated circuit. It's simple, elegant, and versatile! The criticisms of his English are unfounded. His English is very good. His accent is still very strong, but I had no trouble understanding him. Accents only go away with time and exposure to native speakers, which not everyone has access to.
@@jovetj yup, the 555 timer, along with a 566 chip, form the sound of the 2 flying saucers on Atari arcade Asteroids. It really is used in a ton of stuff.
this is the best video in the world that i have seen explaining how the 555 works. thank you very much for this easy and very very clear explanation.
Well-explained in a concise and understandable manner. Thanks to you I built a much clearer understanding of the 555 timer and how it works. Excited to make more NE555 projects without my usual hiccups in lack of knowledge. Cheers to you, man!
6:48 If anybody who reads this is curious how to derive that t=1.1*C*R result, its simple. capacitor --------| |-------- | | | \ | / resistor | \ | / | | | __ Vcc __| constant Dc dq = i dt i = dq/dt Using Kirchoff's law, q/C + R i - Vcc = 0 R (dq/dt) = (Vcc . C - q) /C dq/ (Vcc - q) = dt/ CR Apply integration on both sides with limits LHS.. from 0 to q, and RHS..from 0 to t. then you will get, - Ln ((Vcc .C - q) / Vcc .C) = t/CR From this we can easily get this result, i.e q= Vcc. C (1- e^(-t/CR)) since q=CV, V = Vcc(1- e^(-t/CR)) Now apply V= 2/3 Vcc in this formula, you will end up with t= ln(3). C. R [ln(3) = 1.0986 = 1.1(approx)] Happy learning!
best 555 timer video i could find. subscribed
Though, as a rookie, I didn't fully understand the video, I give the video a perfect 10. I have to come back to your site again and again, as my knowledge picks up. Subscribed already. Thanks.
I have to sya, this explanation of how the 555 timer works is beautifully done. It's simple and clearly illustrates what's happening internally. I definitely learned a lot more with this than I did in previous 555 timer videos by other EE youtubers.
Excellent explanation of the 555. I usually prefer still images/text over video, but in this case the video and the animations were fantastic and really make clear how the device works. Also loved seeing the block diagram of the actual schematic with the different parts highlighted.
Glad it was helpful! :)
This was extremely well done. Thank you.
Thank you for help me fully understand!!!Your explanation is very clear!

This is the best explanation about 555 timer ever, but I need one more thing, the demonstration for this two formulas (TH and TL). I need a video to understand how to get these two from capacitor charge and discharge equations.
This really is an excellent explanation.
This helped me on college presentation, thanks a lot!
Very good explanation. Thank you.
Finally a video that explains it!
Thank you for your knowledge, very useful

Federico Coronati - why are you here? Don’t you talk “Mexican”?
Great Video! Awesome job.
so easier to understand 😍
Excellent tutorial
Explanation is very much clear
Just made a 555 timer on a bread board and this video really helps me connect both ideas together and now I fully understand, awesome presentation (edit: by making it I meant making the inside of a 555 on a bread board)
That's cool, I'm glad you found this video helpful! :)
Excellent explanation.
perfect. clearly elaborated. bravo
That's for the formulas. to time. great work.
I just want to tell you " thank you so much!!"
This is the best electronics video I have ever seen. Man, I wish i could tip you!
Thank you!
You are actually Awesome! You are an inspiration to me. All the best and reach heights! Love from a lil Indian KZheadr.
Nice info, thanks for sharing :)
