ICM7556IPDZ – Energy-Efficient CMOS Timer with Wide Application Range

ICM7556IPDZ is an integrated circuit belonging to the 555 timer family. It is a low-power, CMOS-based timer designed for generating timing pulses and can operate in two basic modes: astable and monostable. Thanks to its simplicity and versatility, the ICM7556IPDZ is used in applications such as time signal generation, basic PWM generators, timers, clocks, as well as in both digital and analog projects where simple time control is required.

Key Features:

• IC Family: 555 Timer – The ICM7556IPDZ is a CMOS version of the widely used 555 timer family, known for generating timing pulses.
• Operating Modes:

1. Astable: The circuit generates continuous pulses – useful for simple PWM signal generation.
2. Monostable: The circuit produces a single pulse of a defined duration after being triggered.

• Supply Voltage Range: 2V to 18V – Operates over a wide voltage range, making it flexible for use with various power sources.
