8.1 Application Information

The LMC555 timer can be used a various configurations, but the most commonly used configuration is in monostable mode. A typical application for the LMC555 timer in monostable mode is to turn on an LED for a specific time duration. A pushbutton is used as the trigger to output a high pulse when trigger pin is pulsed low. This simple application can be modified to fit any application requirement.
