General purpose CMOS timer
ICM7555
DESCRIPTION
The ICM7555 is a CMOS timer providing significantly improved
performance over the standard NE/SE555 timer, while at the same
time being a direct replacement for those devices in most
applications. Improved parameters include low supply current, wide
operating supply voltage range, low THRESHOLD, TRIGGER, and
RESET currents, no crowbarring of the supply current during output
transitions, higher frequency performance and no requirement to
decouple CONTROL VOLTAGE for stable operation.
The ICM7555 is a stable controller capable of producing accurate
time delays or frequencies.
In the one-shot mode, the pulse width of each circuit is precisely
controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For astable
operation as an oscillator, the free-running frequency and the duty
cycle are both accurately controlled by two external resistors and
one capacitor. Unlike the bipolar 555 device, the CONTROL
VOLTAGE terminal need not be decoupled with a capacitor. The
TRIGGER and RESET inputs are active low. The output inverter can
source or sink currents large enough to drive TTL loads or provide
minimal offsets to drive CMOS loads.

NOTES:
1. Due to the SCR structure inherent in the CMOS process used to fabricate these devices, connecting any terminal to a voltage greater than
V
DD
+ 0.3V or less than GND -0.3V may cause destructive latch-up. For this reason it is recommended that no inputs from external sources
not operating from the same power supply be applied to the device before its power supply is established. In multiple systems, the supply of
the ICM7555 must be turned on first.
2. Derate above 25°C, at the following rates:
N package at 9.3mW/°C
D package at 6.2mW/°C
3. See “Power Dissipation Considerations” section.
