Pin-4, RESET, is the timer inhibit input.Pin-3, OUTPUT, is the timer logic output pin.Pin-2, TRIGGER, is the start timer input pin.Pin-1, GND, is the ground pin also used for low level 0.The R1 value when designing 30 Minute Timer is calculated as – T = (1.1 × 55 × 1000×1000)/1000000 ≅ 60 seconds.įor designing a 30 Minute Timer circuit, from the above equation, either R1 value has to be changed or C1 value.

T denotes the time interval of the timer circuit. For designing a 1-minute timer the R1 value has to be set to 55kΩ and capacitor C1 value has to be set to 1000♟. Here R1, C1 are the external resistor and capacitor elements attached to the timer IC. The time duration for which the output from the pin 3 remains High can be calculated from the formula T = 1.1 ×R1 × C1. By adjusting the values of external resistor R1 and Capacitor C1, adjustable timer circuits can be designed. The output from the 555 IC is drawn from the Pin-3. Circuit Diagramģ0 Minute Timer Circuit can be designed using a 555 Timer IC in Monostable Mode. This feature of 555 Timer is used to design the Adjustable Timer circuits. As this state is unstable, the output goes high as soon as the interrupt passes. When an interrupt occurs the output enters into an unstable state.i.e. When the user sets stable output as high, the output of the timer will be high until any interrupt occurs. In this mode, the output of 555 IC has two states – a stable state and unstable state. For 30 Minute Timer circuit, 555 IC is operated in Monostable mode.
