This circuit shows how a 4017 CMOS decade counter can be used to build a timer circuit. Push-button S1 will discharge capacitor C1 through resistor R2. This circuit shows how a 4017 CMOS decade ...

In Boost and modify square waves, we covered several methods for conditioning square waves for use with digital signals. In this final installment, we look at 555 timers, voltage regulators, op amps, ...

Measuring extremely high dc voltages of 10 kV or more usually requires a suitably equipped high-voltage ohmmeter or a digital multimeter and high-voltage divider, along with the proper safety ...

Applications of commercially available integrated timers, including the NE/SE555, are fairly limited when used in their monostable mode. This is due to their inability to function with all types of ...
